Sorry, Bex.
LinearAq has the jist of it.
How can anybody possibly believe in a God that relies on chance, if they believe that He created at all?
Why are you so contemptuous of other beliefs. I thought one of the talking points of creationism and IDology was to allow people to look at alternative explanations for how things are the way they are.
A dice throwing God? You believe in a God that throw dice with nature?
What is free will?
I believe in a God that has power over nature and all the elements. Is He not of infinite wisdom? infinite power? Infinite foresight? Infinite and unlimited ability?
So he can design a universe that starts with an inflation from the seed of his mind, and not need to do any fixing or adjusting.
But what if this is boring - why do something when you KNOW how it will come out? Can you play chess with yourself and get excited about the game? What if you introduce just enough chaos into the system that the flap of a butterfly wing in costa rica can cause a hurricane in japan? What if the last directive is "surprise me" ... ?
He did not specifically mention the Christian God, he simply mentioned the "god did it" excuse/explanation, which he arrogantly swept to oneside as though it was a bogus excuse used by people who cannot accept 'reality'.
Yes it is bogus. It does not explain how he did it. How things happen is what we study in science. The excuse that "god did it" just explains
why it happened ... at best. Some people try to use it as a "how" explanation, but it doesn't tell you
how.
He has made fun of the idea of a God being responsible, ...
Nope. What I objected to was using an excuse instead of dealing with the issue. How did the Grand Canyon form? God did it. Okay ... now that we have established that ... did he do it by creating a world wide flood or by creating a world that undergoes geological changes over geological time frames?
The latter is what the evidence says is
how the Grand Canyon formed.
Capice?
"God did it" will explain
why life formed, but it will not explain
how life formed, how those molecules came together according to the laws of chemisty ... (who's laws?) ...
Enjoy.
