Of course. I think anyone who has ever thought, has thought that. Surely you've thought of how improbable it is that we are even conversing, and not merely atom dust floating through space.Ah yes a typical 'god of the gaps' statement, and who do you propose made god, did that ever enter your head?
No one made God. Is it even logical to conclude that the GOD is made? If God made everything, let me repeat, EVERYTHING, then what kind of God would that be? Is it possible that we would be unable to conceive of His power? Everything that has a beginning has a cause. God has no beginning, and therefore has no cause. The bible says that God trancends our understanding. It is interesting that the bible is consistent in this theme from beginning to end. it is also interesting in how it describes God as eternal, and beyond our understanding.
We live in the contruct of time. We have even developed methods for measuring time. One thing we have learned in measuring time and through other science is that this brings us to an alpha point. No matter how far in the past we push it, it is still there gnawing at us. Now there are those who in response to this problem have proposed that the universe is eternal. That thinking has not gone over too well because it violates several solid scientific laws. Yet, they still defend it. Science defends an eternal unmade universe with no cause. Yet a Christian is coming out of left field to state that God is eternal. No matter how far we go back, there is still a point where we cross the line from nothing to everything.
Regardless of whether one is a diest or atheist we must admit that we are bound by time. Now, if God is who the bible says, then He in fact is the author of time. He created it. Time can not exist unless there is something there to measure. Without a universe there is no time. If God is the creator then he did in fact create time. So God is more than just eternal. He is beyond time.
Yes I'm sure.can you honestly be sure '100%' (sorry couldn't resist) that there isno other earth like planets out there?
Actually it can be. the bible can be tested in a number of areas. Historicity is an easy one. Naturally if the bible fails to be trustworthy in those areas, then we can discard any claims beyond that. In the areas of history and archaeology, the accuracy of the Bible is flawless—so flawless, in fact, that for years researchers of the ancient middle east used it as a standard. Its record of cities, mountains, rivers, seas, and other locations is completely accurate. Likewise, its references to various nations are precise.I mean can it be that simple to prove the bible is wrong or right?
Many biblical places and people, which for centuries were unknown to secular history (such as the great Hittite nation), now have been discovered. Archaeology consistently has verified the Bible record. A poor example is the book of Mormon. the book of Mormon makes claims that are historically innacurate. It has many references to people and places that have never been verified.
Someone today can write an accurate history of the Roman empire, or of Abe Lincoln. it is hardly worth mention, that someone could accurately record the life of Christ a few decades after he lived.
