Catholics will replace leviticus with the goblet of fire
its all nonsense anyway
i mean
i shouldnt say nonsense
but
You don't believe it, it's okay to say it
if you're going to take some of the bible at its word, i dont see what problems some of these technicalities cause
well i said nonsense but i just meant not necessarily accurate recollections of events
I think ooze turning into fish that turn into monkeys that turn into people is actually far less believable than a powerful cosmic wizard
neither of those are reasonable interpretations of the very complex ideas they represent
i dont think the bible is nonsense
How did the big bang happen is my main problem
I disagree with, but understand evolution
An idea making sense to a person is predicated on it agreeing with their understanding of how the world works
The big bang is a fallacy
how is the big bang a fallacy
like deux ex machina?
We wuz chemicals in space
How did the chemicals,get@there?
In a formless universe, why would there be a chemical reaction of any kind?
there's a god? well then who made him?
Mormons have an answer to that
Religion accepts that God is cosmic
how many answers, though?
i'm not familiar with it
One
A cosmic wizard who doesn't follow the rules of reality
yeah its definitely possible
but to come to that conclusion from the evidence presented in your lifetime
God was created by a prior God, and that God by a prior God in endless succession
thats not really an answer though is it?
We openly do not know where it started
at least not to the satisfaction of anyone who would ask the question
Time doesn't have to work exactly the way we understand it
for sure
Further, we believe creation involved only organization of preexisting matter with no idea at all where the matter came from
I accept that "god time" is beyond human comprehension
i dont disagree
what i'm asking is, how does any of this make you reach god as a solution?
When I read the Bible it seems true
