You've got it backwards, Ginger. We created God in OUR image. That's why all the gods man has ever worshipped, including the islamo-judeo-christian one, always seem as small-minded and petty as any normal human being, just more powerful. That's always been my biggest gripe with religions. They never depict God as being any better than men, just bigger.

The limitations of the scientific method do not obviate the existence. It is the limitation of man's scientific method. Eman has improved upon the established scientific method to show the existence of God. God cannot be replicated in man's laboratory.

You are a denier. Because you worship yourself. God does not seem small at all but all powerful.

God, as described in the Bible, does not seem any better than me. Just more powerful. God, as described in the Bible is petty. He insecure. He is judgemental of people that he CHOSE to craft in a flawed state just to punish two individuals that were faced with a choice that they lacked the life experience to understand.

It's not about self-worship. It's because I see nothing to worship about myself that I also see nothiong to worship about somebody who isn't any better than me, just stronger.

You are a fool. God created everything including the original pair that has led to you and he demands worship as the price for all he has given you. Yet you claim it for yourself and reject God. You are truly a fool.

Read my lips, Sally. I do not worship myself. I do not worship science. I do not worship anything, least of all a story made up by ignorant goat herders. It is you that is the self worshipper because you worship your own interpretation of the goat herders' tale.

I worship God, the supreme sovereign. You are simply lost.

Well I felt that I had to state that it just my opinion, because I am not a scientist, or doctor of any kind, just using common sense is all I'm doing.

I have to add a PS: I had to have lasic eye surgery on both my eyes, because of severe cataracts that rendered me blind. I'm not old enough for such a thing to happen. My eye doctor said it was because of sun damage and pollution, why people's eyes are going bad sooner than is considered "normal".

Just thought I'd mention that.
