There is a difference between Jesus and a Creator

Sometimes I think religions, particularly Christianity, can confuse the issue as to whether there is an ultimate Creator or not because it brings in a whole different element. I think it forces people to have to believe in what the religion states instead of just considering if there is some Creator. Maybe some kind of living being that exists and is living like us and is able to create all this somehow. Those are just my own feelings

That would make more sense than Christianity, with its concept of a god who somehow knows everything, yet needed to ask Adam if he ate the apple, and ask Cain where his brother was. That god somehow didn't know he would have to flood the world to get rid of the people who were behaving exactly as he designed them to behave.

@LordShadowfire that is where I find religion detaches people from the Creator. Complicates their belief instead of keeping it simple

@Axeroberts I'm still not conceding that we need a creator, but I do have far fewer arguments against an imperfect creator who is still learning.

@LordShadowfire need? Well we need Him to create us. Lol. But I don't understand this perspective of need. How do you know

@Axeroberts I'm saying that logically, from a scientific perspective, there's no need of a creator to explain why we're here.

@LordShadowfire but what is your reason for saying this.

@Axeroberts What's my reason for saying there's no need of a creator to explain our existence from a scientific perspective? Because it's true. Because the fossil record clearly shows an evolutionary process from a small, rodent-like mammal at the end of the Cretaceous period to larger and larger primates, and if we keep working backward, we find the amphibious ancestor of the small rodent-like mammal. Along the way, there are so many dead-end species that it becomes pretty obvious the whole thing happened randomly. If there was a higher intelligence guiding the process, we wouldn't see so many mistakes.

@LordShadowfire science still doesn't know how it happened
