"What did God create?

If one considers a supernatural power was the first cause or creator, what was created?

Well we know. A very hot ball of gasses (with smidgen of metal).

It's called the Big Bang. And all that was created, by mass, was Hydrogen (75%), Helium (25%) and so little Lithium it's almost not worth mentioning.

That is what a 'creator' created. Nothing more and nothing less. And it happened 13.8 billion years ago. The rest is history.

It was 9.3 billion years till gravity kicked off our solar system. About 1 billion before the first signs of life appeared on Earth.

Around 2.9 billion years passed before multi-cellular life got its act together. About 600 million years past before our ancestors first scratched their arses to move to fleas.

If you don't agree with this chronology dispute it with the experts, professionals and scientists that created it.

So all a 'creator' did was fart the Universe into existence.

The rest is physics, chemistry and biology."

Is it possible you're a closet Deist, Tank?

No. If I held a viewpoint you can be sure you'd know it. As would everybody.  ;)

Hmm... Not deist, perhaps, but The Asmo suspects that Tank's turret is made of cardboard and that he really is an ancient Cadillac underneath. THAT, The Asmo suspects.  :smilenod:

In Asmo's grey lump,
wrath and dark clouds gather force.
