a 6thousand year old earth theory also kind of puts down god, why do you insist he isnt powerful enough to have created a universe in such a way that he knew our galaxy/solar system/ planet would eventually me made far down the line, with us eventually evolving? why do you insist he isnt powerful enough to have kickstarted a long line process that has us eventually evolving into what we are?

It seems your "theory" is more about you guys feeling good about yourselves, wanting to be special and have it all about you. you want to be the children of god, made in his image, better than all else. you want to be put on a pedestal and loved forever no matter what happens, you want a safety blanket. you want an answer that doesnt make you feel like a spec of sand on a beach. You believe that the stars are just there for looking and that god didnt want to try on another planet and "spread his love there", wanting to try and make others like us, who we may venture and meet one day. In wanting all that, you deny his true power. you make it all about you.

Science doesnt try to make god absent, your confusing it with athiest' use in arguments. Thats not science thats other peoples interpretations of what the science means. Science is about trying to figure out how the world we live in works. Old school religious dogma has god responsible for a wide variety of things that naturally happen. you guys get all bent up out of shape as science discovers something, so much so, that you fail to see that larger picture on how god could have made it for that to happen.

No matter what, if you keep going back you need to eventually have a god there. even if you believe in the big bang, what made that tiny spec? what made that spec go boom? what made the thing happen that made the spec go boom?

I was raised catholic, and i still believe in god but I also believe in science and reason. but all of what i wrote is basically pointless, you know why? i know you wont listen to any evidence I or anyone else says, Because that is your belief. Just like how the majority of us have beliefs in science. An internet argument will never change someones beliefs and only entrench them more within their own argument. These threads are utterly pointless, unless your just looking for a place to try and spew your beliefs.
