did the universe have a beginning or did it not?

Yes it had a beginning, but there are numerous Ex niliho creation stories so it proves nothing.

I answered your question now answer mine, do you accept that the genetic evidence contradicts your literal account of Genesis?

So yet another fingers in ears singing "tra-la-la" repsonse :]

Don't you realise that there may be numerous lurkers on these boards walking away from their inclinations to embrace your religion simply because you are doing such a terrible job of defending it! (not just in this thread but every other thread you are involved in)

Come on Robbie, why do you believe in magic apples if you don't believe in talking snakes? 😵

so it had a beginning and that statement is therefore is scientifically accurate, thank
you. I will not be drawn into another futile creation v evolution argument, it is well
known that all science reads from the same cook book!

Answer my question, i answered yours. It's only poilte.

You're correct though, it is a futile debate. It's futile because one side chooses to remain 'closed-minded' and 'ignorant'. Your words, not mine.

So then explain, in non-magical terms, how apples (or the fruits from trees of knowledge if you like) can impart instant knowledge of right and wrong to the person that eats them.

Of course, he does not accept such nonsense. Genetic DNA evidence supports the literal account of Genesis?

And the parent who teaches their child to be a suicide bomber at the age of ten is not in any way responsible for the actions of that child ? Free will, right!
As long as you continue to deny that your god is responsible for your gods creation you make the case that your god is entirely human.
Or at least man-made.

You make no sense here. Perhaps, you should rephrase your response so everyone else can understand what you intended to say. 😏

P.S. The Christian God is good and teaches mankind to do good. God is not responsible for the wrong doings of mankind, when He has not taught mankind to do bad.

However, if a parent teaches his child to do something that is wrong and the child obeys, then the parent is also responsible for the bad behavior. It is also the responsiblity of the parent to punish bad behavior.
