How Did God Create The Universe?

This is a question everybody seems to
want to know...
How Did God Create The Universe?

They want to know what materials He used.
They want to know did He used computers?
They want to know did He used machines to
create the earth and the universe?
They want to know exactly what process He used
to create the earth and everything in it, including
the whole entire universe!

They want to know...
How Did God Create The Universe?

They want to know...
How Did He Create The Universe?

They want you to explain it all how He did it.

I expect, looking at Planet Earth, he outsourced the 
job to the lowest bidder. :)

None of the three groups the troll cross-posted to, are to discuss the
god of any religion.

I know this is very differcult
for yous to understand...

Man made God
so that God
can make Man.



So, if you ask "Who created God?" Well, of course...man did!

And if you want to know "Who created Man?"...well, of course, God did!




God is the best idea Man ever had. 

In other words, Man invented God so that God can create Man.


You don't expect Man to create himself, do you? 


I told you....



this is very differcult
for yous to understand...

No, the end is reached.

See, if GAWD can create, then we can.

That GAWD creates ex nihilo, is theological,
that we also could create ex nihilo is logical,
if we only knew the recipe.


Therefore the question HOW DOES CREATION WORK?
is justified and has to be put forward to the creationist creatures.

Creationists are stupid. Kick their asses.

Are you sure you are old enough to expect an answer?

enroute, according to my bladder.  Well, at least as exciting as what I

I watched most, not all, of the episodes. So, I missed a lot of important details. I did discuss it recently with a couple friends who were big fans 
of the show. It's clear that you had to watch the show faithfully, like 
Babylon 5, to pick up all the pieces and for all of it to make sense. 
Except that my friends said that even that didn't help completely in the 
case of "X Files". I asked for an explanation of the aliens in the 
government and the both said there wasn't one. They also said that earlier stuff was conveniently forgotten and dropped story lines ignored. I still 
want to see the new series to see if any of this is corrected. I liked the 
main characters, and I want to see what happened to them. And, I want
explanations.

I never got into either the X-Files or Babylon 5 - and that might
explain it.

But the idea behind B-5 was ridiculous to me - a vulnerable space
station in an almost perpetual war. I didn't like DS9 for that reason.

The Star Trek people were sued by the Babylon5 people for stealing the space station idea from Joe Stryzinski (creator of B5). Styzinski won. He had taken 
his original script to the ST folks and they rejected it. Then, they stole
the idea. It's a wonder that Roddenberry didn't haunt them.

I didn't know that.

I didn't particularly like Battlestar Galactica for much the same
reason - the entire human race in a convoy of spaceships (apart from
the mythical planet Earth). It would have been wiped out pretty
quickly.

The whole alien thing ended up being completely insane. And the last 
season or two completely jumped the shark. But there are so many 
episodes and arcs that were fabulous.

My 2 favorite episodes are both kinda out of the box even for X-Files:

1. Kill Switch (written by Mr. Cyberpunk himself, William Gibson and 
starring one of my favorite tv actresses--Canadian Kristin Lehman)

2. The Unnatural, which is about baseball.

And it takes a mind-numbing combination of rudeness and stupidity to
ask it where the troll did - in alt.atheism, sci.physics and
sci.physics.relativity.
