Indeed. And if there is a creator, that just leaves the origin question open - where did the creator come from? To the best of my knowledge this question isn't tackled in the Bible, Quran, etc. But you'd think that God would know his own origins, and if he's keen for us to believe in him, he'd tell us what they are, so that once wev'e advanced enough in scientific knowledge we'd be able to verify what the holy writ told us (Samiya has suggested that this is the case for some bits of physics and biology - but I don't know of any holy text that tells us that God evolved through natural selection before he created our universe, I'd feel more inclined to believe it if it did). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
