Are you a creationist?

Post #1

Post by Wootah »

Hi all,

The thing about creation is that we do it every moment.

- I look at a lump of matter and make it into my wife every day of my marriage.

- Apparently, there is a bunch of atoms that I recognise every day how to get back to and I call it my home.

The day you are not a creationist, you likely have lost your mind.

Are you a creationist? Thoughts?

You created nothing and neither did anyone else.
Whatever your eyes see, has already been created before you saw them.
Therefore you did not create them.
What did you see? Was it a tree or some wood or a chair? How did you see the chair?
I saw it because it was created before I saw them.
Whatever it is, wood, glass, whatever, it was already in existence before I saw it.
How do you see a tree?

You have already asked me this question.

Yes but go deeper. Or not. Somewhere in our brain all the data we collate that something is a tree we called it a tree.

Why does Adam get given the role of naming the animals?

God created their names before Adam.
Do you think God created something and did not know what to call it
before and after he created it? Like light, God said let there be light.
Like man. He said let us make man in our own image, before He created man.

I think God is omniscient but I think Adam named the animals. I think it was a sharing of the creative process. When God spoke the universe came into existence and Adam, made in God's image, gets a similar role.
I also think, and this speaks to my point (pun intended), before there was light or a universe, God knew it and spoke it into existence.

Where has it been established, as a matter of truth, that Adam was given the role to name anythingI?

Extra points will be awarded to anyone who can offer confirmation that Adam even existed.

You have to show that Genesis is anything other than mythology for a character in it to have existed rather than be a character in a myth. hint: 'I believe it' will not do.

rather than just saying he did not ever exist and because I said it so, it is true..
