God didn't create the earth; rather, he supervised the natural forces that created it, amirite?

Where did it all start?

I love this so much, you just summed up all of my confusion about religion

That's how I always thought of it.

Yes, God simply supervised the natural forces that randomly appeared. If youre gonna say that God existed at all, at least acknowledge that he created the natural forces, because they sure as heck didnt get here on their own.

I like to think of God as a friendly, smiling mentor who watches and guides but lets science do its thing. I think of God as omniscient, but not omnipotent. That's how I reconcile God and natural forces.

I have to respectfully disagree with your opinion. If someone is gonna admit to the presence of God at all, theres no purpose in limiting the notion of how much power he has... if there is so much God can't do, hes really not that much of a God, is he?

I wouldn't expect you to agree with my personal conception of "God," because it doesn't really make sense. It's because I do spiritually feel a God (i.e. a greater force around me) in my life, but I believe that science controls how the world works and unfolds.

Thats an interesting way to think about it, but my belief stands that God is undeniably behind the workings of nature and science, not just the spiritual parts of life.

Just because he didn't explicitly mention that God created the forces, doesn't mean he is trying to belittle God's power...

I know, i get that, but if God didnt have the power to control and/or create nature and science, which is the main driver of life as we know it, what kind of God is he?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Nobody said He doesn't have that power.

The user ender said that God 'watches and guides but lets science do its thing'. He may have meant it in a way that could be interpreted as God did create it and controls it, but I mainly went by the interpretation that science is a separate entity, apart from God's power, which i don't believe.

i'm only speaking for my own beliefs, so i wouldn't generalize about how others are reading into this post.

That's not what i'm trying to do, i'm just explaining to him how I interpreted your reply.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Your original comment, however, indicates that the post belittles God's power when it doesn't. But anywho...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm just saying, that the way I interpreted it, his reply does indeed belittle God's power. If he comes back around and says that that's not the way he meant it, ok. But that's how I saw it.

well, he created the natural forces too then...
