I decided to start a new post series. I hope you enjoy it.
Creation
There are many aspects of 'creation' that make me think if the Christian God did exist, he would have to be classified as an idiot. The first of these being evidence. If he had created everything, he left no evidence of his activity. Painters generally sign their paintings and manufacturers generally put their logo on their products but for some reason Yahweh felt no need to leave behind any trace. This puts us homo sapiens in a strange predicament, we live in a universe that appears to us as if there is no god, everything we observe happens as a result of unguided natural processes so if the Christian God existed and created everything he would be an idiot based on this alone.
The second aspect of 'creation' that would qualify any prospective creator as incompetent are the many examples of un-intelligent design, I'll list just a few here to demonstrate my point. We breathe through the same orifice we eat with. Our lower backs are poorly constructed for walking upright resulting in widespread back problems. The birth canal is not large enough for fully developed human babies to be born prematurely compared to other mammals, leaving the mother and the baby vulnerable. Many more examples can be found but 3 should suffice for my purposes.
Related to the other two facets is evolution. Evolution is quite possibly the most inefficient way in which a god could create life. Inefficiency isn't one of the attributes you hear Christians worshiping Yahweh for so I assume that was a mistake, which would make him stupid.
If the Christian God did in fact create everything as creationism describes he shot himself in the foot by making all the evidence point towards evolution, which would make him stupid, unless he really wanted to deceive humanity, which would make him malicious. So there you have it, by looking at 'creation' I conclude that if the Christian god existed, he would be stupid or malicious.
Part 2
It's not that "He" is stupid, it is mere humans like oursevle cannot understand His mysterious ways (ie all evidence points to evolution). you see my friend down under...it's our fault. Awesomeness. Good series.

Haha yeah, his ways are higher than ours, and more illogical and less efficient.
ReplyDeleteI think God DID leave his mark, in the beliefs that Christians have, and check intelligent design theory!
ReplyDeleteThe beliefs that Christians have that are heavily derived from earlier religions like Zoroastrianism?
ReplyDeleteIntelligent design has been thoroughly discredited.
