God could have created an isolated universe with energy and matter in the beginning. There is scientific and mathematical evidence that the universe had a beginning. So it must have been created.
No one can yet say it wasn't.

Originally posted by RJHindsI'm certainly not qualified to discuss advanced physics, so anything I'd have to say on the topic would be pure speculation, but that label also most certainly applies to the idea that because the universe had a beginning that therefore it must be your specific god, or even a god. That doesn't follow at all.
There is mathematical evidence for the beginning of the universe.

Therefore, if it had a beginning it must have been created.

That also implies the air was at something like the temperature of Earth and pressure otherwise there would also not be sound. If we were exposed to the atmosphere on Mars, we would not be able to utter a sound for instance.

So this alleged god already had Earthlike conditions around it.

Originally posted by C HessI can only speculate too. So we are both just giving our opinions based on what we believe are the facts.

Originally posted by C HessI was just speculating on how God created matter. The Holy Bible only says God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning. Since God spoke to bring about light, I am assuming he might have spoke to create the heavens and the earth also.

A magician also says "abracadabra" or "hocus pocus". It doesn't mean he 'speaks' the rabbit out of the hat. God's actual mechanics of action are unknown to us, just like the magician's are unseen by us.
Man, you literalists just don't get that there is much going on that is not explained in the Bible. The Bible is not a "blow-by-blow" description of EVERY single thing that happened. God never had a play-by-play guy. He probably could've used a color commentator, though.

I said that I was speculating on certain things that I assume may have happened. You don't know that there was a "Big Bang" either, but because some scientists speculate there was then you believe that is more fact that what the Holy Bible says and yet you call yourself a Christian. What kind of Christian believes man rather than God?
Come on.

Originally posted by SuzianneI'm willing to believe, however, that 'God's actual mechanics of action' probably involve the very same physics we learned in high school. To us, they seem to take a very long time to build anything. But what is time to God? I'm guessing that God's day is not the same as our day.

This gives everyone room to believe or to not believe. See how that works?
