Relgion cannot not answer any questions that the Bible can answer.
Believe it or not the bible is common sense and logic, God is the smartest scientist that there ever was. Don't get it twisted.

Let me guess. God is also:
The greatest novelist there ever was.
The greatest filmmaker there ever was.
The greatest political leader there ever was.
The greatest artist there ever was.
The greatest lover there ever was.
Oh! Oh! OHHH!! I have a hard-on for God! OHMYDEITYI'MGONNA CUMMMMMM!!!!"
>>"God is the smartest scientist that there ever was."
So, uh, why didn't he bother to write the bible, then? Seems to me he was AWOL for the whole process, leaving it to be penned over hundreds of years by a bunch of semi-literate morons who didn't have a clue how science worked.
I mean, geez. He could've at least proofread the thing for errors before it got copied.
Obviously (aside from the things already mentioned) his knowledge about genetics seems to be lacking, too...
black spotted goats aren´t produced by letting them mate in front of almond shoots with partially peeled off bark.
Also earth has no corners and cannot be overseen from a large mountain, which contradicts the scene where Satan brings Jesus to a large mountain and lets him look till the corners of earth, seeing all kingdoms of the world
Israel The Chosen, your god sounds very much like North Korea's Kim Jong-Il. Is your god Kim Jong-Il?
Good old Kim is the best golfer in the world too, he once shot 18 hole-in-ones, even on the par 4 and par 5 holes. Sounds a lot like your god.
God created light sources, the Sun AND the Moon days after he sid, "Let there be light." That twists things around right at the beginning. There is more common sense and logic an an M.C. Escher drawing than in the whole bible.

Fundie Beliefs #6 - Christ's Redemption
Finally one day, God changed His mind about the fruit curse and said "OK, I guess I’ll relent and remove my curse. I know what: I’ll send down My son who’s really Me in disguise and let them torture Me to death! That’ll compensate Me for removing the magic fruit curse that was put on them by Me." OK, put like that, this doesn’t make a lot of sense, since if someone has a grudge against you, he’s not likely to refuse to forgive you unless you "compensate" him by nailing his son up by his hands and feet and leaving him to die in agony.
But somehow that made sense to God, except that there’s this one additional condition: you have to communicate telepathically to God that you actually believe the guy who was nailed up was His Son, and that you accept the Son as your personal savior, even if God gives you cancer or wipes out your village with a flood. If you do, you may have a crappy life, but you’re guaranteed a fine spot in heaven after you die. You can kill, rape or almost anything else (except get an abortion, be a homosexual or vote for a Democrat); but as long as you believe in Jesus you’ll be among "the saved" and go to heaven*. Then you can watch and snicker at all those Chardonnay-sipping New York liberals who, during life, made ten times as much money as you and had sex with better-looking women, as they weep and gnash their teeth in the LOF® (Lake O'Fire). Plus, you can have any pickup truck you want, even a big-ass Ford 550 Supercab with the 7.3L Powerstroke diesel and a wicked-looking pair of Smoker® exhaust stacks. And everything at Wal-Mart® is on sale for free!
* Attending a fundamentalist Baptist church or one of its various independent evangelical offshoots earns extra credit.

I love that bit about a house having leprosy and how to treat a house that catches it, I had to go check it out! Funny how we never covered that in Babble classes when I was a lad. The church missed out on passing that little nugget of science to me.
God, the greatest scientist... huh? It's a pity he omitted to put his great knowledge down in his personally inspired book.
"Believe it or not the bible is common sense and logic ..."
I don't believe that statement. Mainly because it's totally not true.
Also, if you believe god created everything you should be aware that he is not a scientist. Science is the art of figuring things out and if you already know everything you have no reason to go about conducting experiments to determine how the stuff you created works.
Idiot!
Science > 'common sense'.
The reason why is that some of the scientific facts we have uncovered (such as the earth going around the sun) are not intuitive, and do not follow from 'common sense', but they do describe the world we live in far more accurately.
If an infallible god wrote the Bible, then why does it contain:
Thousands of direct verse contradictions?
Countless science errors?
Obvious plagiarisms of previous religions?
He must be the smartest scientist that ever existed, because nobody has ever been able to replicate his experiment about breeding striped goats by having them look at striped sticks. Oh wait... producing experiments that have repeatable results is a requirement of science. Looks like your god is just another liar.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
