Thread Name: BS: Special thread on Evolution & religion
Subject: RE: BS: Special thread on Evolution & religion
Yes, yes, yes we've been here before - but if God exists, His existence raises more questions that it answers. I'm talking, of course, about 'infinite regress'. If God created the Universe, who, or what, created God - and who or what created the God creator etc., etc., etc.?

At this point, pete, and his fundamentalist mates, look all pious and intone that "God is unknowable". But that's just a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card - and I don't trust people who pull 'get-out-of-jail-free' cards. In addition, if they're not prepared to even think about the Big Questions like the possibility of infinite regress and its implications, they certainly shouldn't be tinkering about with questions connected with evolution and other areas of contemporary science which make them uncomfortable.
