Bill D BS: Church joins real world (612* d) RE: BS: Church joins real world 09 Aug 14


"That Gog created it all, is a good a theory as any other that I have heard and certainly more plausible than the big bang theory."

I am guessing that Gog is a typo.. but...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gog_and_Magog

"More plausible" is not exactly an easy position to defend, whatever you meant, ake. Why not a simple "We just can't know that kind of thing"?
My position, that of 'skeptic', is that any attempt to tout one position over another leaves it open to criticism. If I had to choose one position, it would be that Cosmologists, mathematicians and such who attempt to imagine something about existence can at least throw out complex explanations (most of which I cannot begin to follow) of how matter begins & ends.
If one just asserts that God (or Gog) created it all, the obvious next question is "Why was there any 'eternal Being' to begin with?" And the very phrase 'begin with' and the word 'Being' have embedded connotations that are hard to explicate.

Many of the cosmological theories dispute each other and so far, deal mostly with concepts that can't be seen, measured or explicated except by abstract mathematics... which makes a simple "God did it" a lot more attractive for most folks.

I..ummm... consider myself a success when I can get good press from even those I often disagree with. Thanks to all who recognize what I try to do.
