He parted the red sea according to the Bible. I think he can break the rules of physics according to Christianity.
Actually, He explained the parting in scientific terms (an east wind blowing all night). There was no breaking of the rules of physics. Like all of the miracles in the Bible, it was just applied scientific principles, advanced though they may be. Whether you are talking about columns of fire or flaming chariots or wheels within wheels or voices from the sky, it's all just science. No magic, pure science.

But why postulate a magical being when there is no need to do so
Magic is for the superstitious, like people who come up with ideas like evolution. Religions are not based on magic (though magic has permeated religion to an extent, just like it has science). They are based on actual contact with extraterrestrials. Just like the Great Flood account in the Bible (and elsewhere) is not based on myths or magic but on an actual event.

Why postulate magical pseudohistory such as the Theory of Evolution when there is no need to do so?

Why couldn't the cause of creation be natural rather than supernatural. If this being that you invent can be eternal, then so can energy and matter.
It can and how could it be any other way?

This is following the assumption that humans need a higher being as a creator. The result of that assumption is God. Stick true to your faulty assumptions and God needs a creator as well.
With or without God, we are faced with the same dilemma. Even abiogenesis requires that there first be matter. Existence cannot be reasoned.

The reason worms can't speak, for example, is because it is not in the condition of their nature.
Why would you make that assumption? As far as I know, worms CAN talk (just not in the way that we talk)!

He's beyond our current comprehension.
Creation is pretty easy to comprehend. We can look around and see examples of creation everywhere we look. By extension, we know that there must be a creator by the existence of the creation. For example, when we look at a bridge, we KNOW someone built it.

If man is supposedly intelligent and we know how to create things, why do we find it so difficult to conceive of a greater intelligence than ours creating things that predate our own existence? Why is it so hard for some to conceive of a Creator that created us and passed down that same creative 'fire'?

I always thought that God would also be the ultimate scientist, and from that he understands the laws. I just know how to use them better than we do.
You have always thought well.


My faith is stirred but never shaken.

I'm the proof that evolution works...

You're the proof that it doesn't.


Political Correctness only teaches people to be deceivers.
