That is not where they come from. That is just another designed structure that is part of the atom that demonstrates its intelligent design.

Where did God come from? Who designed God?

Huh? We can observe subatomic particles in the lab. Well, most of them, anyway. We can tell how they interact and form atoms. There is no need for design, intelligent or not.

God created humans. He perfectly understands human nature for he place it in humans.

Adam and Eve were chosen too and they fell. God could pick them as his chosen people even though they had sinned. Prophecy must be fulfilled and his son had to come through that people. They had free will and did not HAVE to sin.

Huh? We have just scratched the surface of subatomic particles. They go on forever.

Well...that's what I thought....the Jews always were/are/will be God's chosen People.

Do you just make all this stuff up as you go along?? Because when it comes to sinning, the Christians are really good at it. Matter of fact...they whine about being Sinners constantly!

Right. Our imperfect behavior frustrates us. Completely. Because we want to completely please God but because we are fallen and imperfect, do not have the capacity to have perfect behavior.
