An old Christian friend of mine used to say that the groove in celery sticks specifically designed to accommodate soft cheese was proof for the existence of God.
That is as powerful and profound as any argument I have read in this forum.
When all around us is such beauty and wonderment ... and everything is designed for us! Its hard NOT to believe in a deity.
We do truly live in a wonderful world.
BUT
(Creationists head for your bunkers)
The World was NOT made for us.
We were made for the World.
Its called Natural Selection and its still WONDERFUL and it doesnt contradict the existence of your gods.
AMEN

Obviously, God wanted the monkeys to flourish and eat well.

Dont be daft; I can name half a dozen:
Apollo, Zeus, Jupiter, Odin, Horus, The Hoff
But seriously,daniel is right there is only one God and because of the annoying fact that by including EVERYTHING as part of "Himself" , nothing can really be said of this "oneness" and hence it makes me think forget the whole "One" thing and go with "Zero" instead.
God is zero. There. much bettteršµ

Originally posted by rwingettI do no what I'm talking about, the first poster cheese fits in the creases in the celery that's proof of God's love for us, you said but God made bad things too, I said God didn't make "bad" things, he made things, and they're "bad" because of man's fall
What?!? That's rubbish. I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.
Originally posted by daniel58"He" made things and we made them "good" or "bad". Is that what you mean by "mans fall"?
