    In the Beginning.....

    I'll certainly give it a shot.....oh and btw, I take it that you are not familar with Einstens' E=MC ²...if you were, then you would have understood the equivalency of matter to energy. And all energy is NOT in the form of light as you seemed to have been alluding...though light IS a "form of...

    In the Beginning.....

    Other than wondering HOW you could possibly know that.....it almost sounds as if, according to you, the universe never DID have a "beginning". but beings like God and potentially us can start off sub-Universes that exist from time a to time b. It has to do with filling up the Universe IMO. I...

    Please quote me if you reply to me so I can find you and respond afterward. I dunno how to do that.....when I click on the "quote" button, nothing happens. Sorry

    In the Beginning.....

    I for one would really appreciate as simple of an explanation as you can come up with to explain that comment..if you don't mind.

    In the Beginning.....

    Ok, so God was already "somewhere".....but the way Genesis is worded, there WAS no "somewhere" until God had CREATED it. Which prompts the question, then where WAS God, before God created a place for HIM to be? Yeah, me neither....but I certainly cannot simply declare that God was in some...

    In the Beginning.....

    Just your own personal interpretation, I take it........ok. Are you SURE about that? The earth was without form......like a nebulous ball of gas or something? A cloud of smoke? Since there were no "people" yet, I don't suppose there WOULD be any "waste" <supposed to be a joke> I would tend...

    In the Beginning.....

    Mostly.....while all matter is EQUIVALENT to energy......not ALL energy is LIGHT....light is just one FORM of energy.

    If You Are God

    If I were God, I'd DUCK, as I am sure that there are a LOT of people out there who are NOT very happy with me.

    If You Are God

    I must adamantly disagree with your assessment that God is love. After having read the bible, I conclude that God is anything BUT "love". In just about every instance written where God is involved, someONE dies....was that because God LOVED them?

    In the Beginning.....

    You are SO right..."in the beginning of WHAT"? And the inference is based upon the idea that BEFORE God started His creating, there WAS nothing, at least not before He CREATED it. At least that is how I interpret that scripture. YMMV

    In the Beginning.....

    I gots no real problem with God being "infinite"...but like you said, humans are incapable of fathoming the concept of being infinite, beyond the actual words themselves. The way I read the scripture regarding this matter, is that "in the beginning" without defining the 'beginning of WHAT', God...

    Gods are a Dime a Dozen

    An interesting response.......I didn't say that it had already happened.....it's just that a purported ALL-KNOWING God, would KNOW it.....that's what "all-knowing" means, right? If such a God CAN know the future, then somehow FOR that God to "know" the future, the way I see it, the "future" for...

    In the Beginning.....

    I do NOT want to sound disrespectful, but THAT just went WHOOSH over, or maybe THROUGH my head. If you would care to reword that for this amateur, I'd certainly appreciate it, ok?

    In the Beginning.....

    It is IMMEASURABLY difficult for ANY believer to convince a typical NON believer, of the validity OF their beliefs. Especially when speaking of an entity which itself defies description. I realize the limitations we ALL much work with when discussing such an entity as God. Still, I like to...

    In the Beginning.....

    Well regardless of what you might think of me, I AM genuinely curious....and sometimes I NEED to get a little, as you say, "challenging" in order to get SOME (not necessarily you, of course) but SOME complacent people to actually THINK a bit about what they believe. Over the years I have been...

    In the Beginning.....

    Ok, "already existed".....but WHERE? Since there WAS "nothing" until it was "created"? I'm CERTAINLY no physicist, but I DO read much of their stuff, and it seems that (they) have indeed caused virtual particles of matter to literally APPEAR, out of what was considered to be an empty vacuum. If...

    In the Beginning.....

    That's sort of what the Bahai's believe as well.....that there really was no "creation", in that God AND the universe and both equally eternal and uncreated. Yet, in spite OF that, (they) still refer to God as "creator-God", for reasons I have never gotten a decent explanation for.

    Atheists: If God existed would God……

    Sorry, but I do not see where that sort of reasoning even applies here. It's not that atheist are necessarily "clueless about God", as much as THEY are being HONEST in NOT declaring things about God that the have no way of knowing, unlike many "believers" who themselves don't really KNOW...

    In the Beginning.....

    That it IS...however, it still doesn't address the issue of WHERE God was, BEFORE there was some PLACE for Him to be?
