Just a quick question to theists or anyone really.
Offline If god is the creator. Why has he stopped creating? I mean...I'd like to see a flying tyrannosaurus...or a walking jellyfish. He's god he could make it happen. I mean if you're going to argue that life is too complex for it to have evolved, I would like to know why god would create silly little things like nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria that live in nodules in the roots of plants in nitrogen poor soil, but he can't create a flying tyrannosaurus? What's the deal here?
I'd like to see god create more stuff, what is he out of juice? Why doesn't he create another earth? I mean...why stop at one? he could play starwars or something wiht different alien life forms battling each other.

I'm sure you are going somewhere with this but I'm not sure where....what you are trying to get at here?
Maybe he already has. It would explain why he is such an "absentee parent" Having to much fun with his other "toys"
Praise be to the Celestial Teapot!!
Prove the teapot doesn't exist!!! AHHH HAHAHAHA!!!!
We must favor verifiable evidence over private feeling. Otherwise we leave ourselves vulnerable to those who would obscure the truth.

I am simply asking why god would quit creating 6000 years ago, why not keep on creating things.... I mean..he's the creator he obviously has the power to create things... I would like to see him create something that is not related to living things but that is alive. In other words, I would like to see the creator create a living being that has no proteins, no DNA etc... can he do that? of course he's omnipotent. he can make trees talk if he wanted to.
My point is that the reason why we see interconnectedness in life (every living being is comprised of the same material, DNA, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates) that it obviously shows how all living things all came from common ancestors not a creator. And since we've never witnessed creation nor have any proof that we were created, how can we believe in a creator? Obviously if there was a creator, why would he stop creating?

Would you accept a flying tyrannosaurus as convincing evidence of intelligent design? I know I would.
There are no theists on operating tables.
absolutely. or if I saw a tree speaking french. or an ostrich that can do calculus..I would definitely then believe in ID.

Who is to say that he has stopped creating? Maybe just not in this universe or maybe not in the universe we can see or maybe just a part we haven’t gotten to?
I'm not sure but I thought there was a somewhere in the bible where he said he wouldn’t interfere with his creation here?? (Could have totally pulled this out of the air) but regardless “to want to create” is a human attribute that we don’t even know if he has. Or maybe he is just seeing how it goes???
You know I heard an argument from theists that multiverses are ridiculous. But that still doesn't answer my question on why he has stopped creating here on earth. I mean..why stop at where he did?
Or maybe, there isn't a creator?

Not all theists are the same. Is there any compelling reason that he shouldn't stop?
Exactly! That’s the point of these fun talks! Without God this post wouldn’t exist!
The way I see it is if god created the universe, he did it kind of like how someone would assemble their Ikea furniture. God didn't bother to read the directions, he just said to himself "Shit, man I can figure this out.". He then proceeded to spend seven entire days mashing widgets into doodas. On his first attempt, the universe just kind of fell over. After swearing for a while, he tried again and actually managed to get thing to stand up, but had all these bolts and screws left over. Having no idea what they did or were they went he just said "Fuck it." threw them in his knick knack drawer and cracked a beer.
And that is why we don't have a third arm or eyes in the back of our head.
The reasoning behind it is pretty simple. He just can't be bothered to create anything, not after that last headache.
By the way, a flying tyranosaurus would tottally rock my world.

I know that all theists aren't the same, but the arguments tend to be either the same or a redefinition which would then lead you to believe that redifining the religion is flawed because then, god's word is inerrant.
Exactly, it doesn't make sense that a god does exist. there is no compelling reason for a god to stop creating, so why did he? I mean you can't prove he still is creating right?

Oh but there are cases of people wiht three arms and eyes where they're not supposed to be. It's called genetic disorders. malformations due to incorrect genetic signaling. It's all part of the not so perfect system of the human condition. Another example why an Intelligent designer could not have created us. Other flaws in our design, our knees, our copulatory systems, cancer, viruses, autoimmune disease..now that's intelligent. uh huh..
oh and a flying tyranosaurus would rock. I think I'll start a club demanding god creates flying t-rexs. I'll give one to my step kids to be as a pet.

Actually, when you consider that birds evolved from dinosaurs, it is perhaps fair to say that flying t-rexes already exist, and are nesting in the backyard as we speak. god wins again. d'oh.
There are no theists on operating tables.
DAMN IT!!! how many points does god have now?

According to Genisis 2:1-2 God "completed" his creation and he was pooped out. I guess being an omnipotent being isn't what it used to be.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. - Seneca
Well that's convenient isn't it? I mean the bible...fails to explain why God would have created such faulty humans in the first place. But ends it at well god "completed" his creation..good luck..see ya at the rapture... hmm...waaaay to convenient for an omnipotent being eh?

Hmmmm....reminds me of something, but I'm not sure what.
Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine
This rings true on sooooooo many levels. Bush-God-Rapture-Israel hmmmm...what do they all have in common?
War and death..that's what

Nope! God pretty much just dicks around with creation in nearly every book of the Bible, 'cept maybe Esther. It's like he's an addict for miracles and smiting and the apocalypse and such.
