What is it with ignorant people thinking that we all believe God just poofed everything into existence? He formed everything, meticulously. WHy do they not get that?

John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men.
5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

That answer had nothing to do with the question asked. Oh Well.

 

[Lighthouse]

What are you talking about, e4e?

Question #1--What is it with ignorant people thinking that we all believe God just poofed everything into existence?

Question #2--Why do they not get that?

Nether question was answered.

e4e-
Can you say, "rhetorical"? Those questions were rhetorical, and in response to the statements of Skeptic, " Making the bold unfounded claim that God poofed life fully formed out of nothing is neither honest nor rational," and, "You also do not know that God poofed DNA into existence fully formed." I was pointing out the ignorance of evolutionists on the subject of creationism. They all seem to think that we believe God just poofed everything into existence. We don't believe that.

Then let me clarify for you.

I am commenting about those who do not accept God. They misunderstand why we believe that God created everything, often assuming our beliefs are based in blind faith. They are ignorant of the Creator and of His people.

They assume that we don't see the complexity of an organism and think that we just picture God going "poof" and something appears when in reality the complexity and interrelation of systems that exist in a simple one celled organism speak to Christians of the superhuman intelligence required to design and form a living thing.

They don't see that we have "run the numbers" on the probability of life arising by chance, and rejected it because of the impossibility of that scenario. They think we are just drones, mouthing words because they are written in scripture, and never see the thought and consideration that went into the formation of our beliefs. They just don't get it.

They can't see creation or understand belief in it because they refuse to see the Creator.

I agree that the world does not give us credit for being able to think.
