This is my sticking point. I believe God/something created the first piece, then science took hold. But if I do believe in God creating this one piece, I also believe he knew that it would be like this and take form like this. (posted this earlier)
I like your arguements Yorick! Makes me think about it a lot more, so thankyou for writing in such detail. Much appreciated!
Until I feel that one special feeling, I'll keep my stance. God created one particle of life, then he planned for Science to do the rest!
But to counter your points, if God could create life itself, be creation, surely he can control it? Otherwise, he is out of control, and not what he professes to be.[/QUOTE]I agree. But what if this is all part of his plan? What if "human perfect bliss" is not something we are meant to experience
in this life? What if there is a reason for pain, for negativity and for free will?
What happens when you look at life like that? What happens if you look for the positives that arise out of a negative experience rather than solely wishing it hadn't happened at all?
