I myself tend to lean towards God, what do you think?

Why would you attribute something to the supernatural just because we don't necessarily know what caused it? If you hear a loud bang on your wall, do you immediately jump to the conclusion that your house is haunted? Or that someone on the other side accidentally kicked it?

Well in some cases attributing things to God is false and can be explained very easy, like that bang on the wall. But this wasn't just a bang, is was an "explosion". I not very educated in this matter but I read the facts and gave my opinion. It just fits so damn well. And yes people always turn to the supernatural for things they can't explain but it's becoming clearer every day that not all the time they are wrong...

There's literally zero evidence for the existence of any god. Sorry man, but that's the way it is. Might as well say super-intelligent aliens caused the Cambrian Explosion. It has every bit as much validity as a god-based hypothesis.

the " explosion " happened over millions of years ( my old textbooks gave a range of 5-10 millions )
and nowdays , our ideas have lengthen that timespan , to tens of millions of years

but your view is god choose to act slowly , over millions and millions of years
such a view seems rather unjustified , dont you think ?

Actually that kind of view is completely justified, because that would be exactly how he worked. He's been around since before the beginning of time, I think he can take a few million years to create some new and bizarre life.



I actually find it funny now-a-days trying to convince myself otherwise that there is no God. I actually do try but it never works for me, because I'm reminded of the atheist scientists and professors that now say there was an "impersonal force" behind the big bang and the creation of the universe. Basically their saying that the universe is too organized to have been randomly created. They will call God an "impersonal force" simply because they do not believe in Him. Don't think me a religious fanatic preaching, I do not go to church. I simply find it hard to not believe in Him anymore.

might as well say god picks the lotto numbers , and causes the winners to pick the right ones , etc , cause thats how he works
in fact , anything and everything can be justified in this view

which is why we have gotten rid of this worldview , and pity those who accept it

Lol, clearly your an atheist and I won't try to convince you otherwise since that's what you want to believe. Maybe you need to. But for me I love science and when I heard about the aforementioned scientists and professors I was excited to say the least. Finally some beginning proof to God, so now the religious debate can finally start to close. The one that's been going on since time immemorial. But back on topic, I really don't even care what God does or why he does it or how long He takes to do it, I just think that He is the only explanation for the Cambrian Explosion. The same could be said of the Big Bang itself.

can i just ask, what created your god?

im agnostic , so clearly you are incapable of determining my beliefs from what i posted here , even tho you read into them enough to convince yourself that you could
i would hazard a guess that thats symptomatic with you ......
