The Lie: Mankind Created God - The Truth: God Created Mankind

Note that when you begin reading the first book of the Bible, it states, “In the beginning, God. . . .” In other words, God’s Word starts with God. He exists. He was not created. God’s Word doesn’t set out to prove God exists; it states God exists! He is and as he states repeatedly in Scripture, “I am.”

I explain all of this, including the faith aspect, to secularists when they ask me that question about who made God. But then I ask them questions about what they believe.

After my debate with Bill Nye (TV’s “The Science Guy”) in 2014 at the Creation Museum, we took questions that were submitted by audience members. One of the questions came from a young boy who asked, “Where did matter come from?” Bill Nye responded, “I don’t know. It’s a great mystery.” I answered, “There is a book [the Bible] that tells us where matter came from.”

Skeptics may mock at Christians for believing in an eternal God, but what do they believe? Where did matter come from? Why does anything exist? Where did energy come from? Why does time exist? Why does space exist? Is matter eternal? Did matter suddenly come from nowhere for no reason? And how do they explain the laws of nature that are immaterial? And why do these laws stay the same and not evolve? Skeptics ultimately have no answers! They can have all sorts of opinions and (blind faith) beliefs, but the bottom line is they have no definitive answer at all.

I remember atheist Richard Dawkins claiming it’s possible to postulate that life was seeded on earth by aliens from outer space. Obviously, skeptics can’t explain how life on earth could arise from matter by chance random processes, so one of their ways around this is to claim life came from outer space. All they did was shift the origin of life on earth to another planet. But then we could ask where the aliens from another planet that seeded life on earth came from? Well, maybe other aliens seeded life on that planet to become aliens that would seed life on earth. But then where did the aliens that seeded life on that other planet come from? Were there other aliens that seeded life on that planet so aliens could arise to seed life on another planet so aliens could arise and seed life on earth? I think skeptics would be happy to believe in eternal aliens but not an eternal God. And that’s because to believe in the eternal God is to accept he created us, owns us, and sets the rules. Thus, abortion is murder, marriage is one man and one woman, etc. These skeptics want to be their own god, so they will accept all sorts of ridiculous ideas rather than believe the obvious—“In the beginning, God . . . .” Ken Ham @ Answers In Genesis

Psalm 14:1

1Only fools say in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;
not one of them does good!

It's foolishness to claim there is no God, as in Psalm 14:1, and not be able to prove it to be the Truth.

Why do you believe in the Jewish version instead of one of the other 33 millions of other imaginary deities? Not one god of any kind has ever done anything godly in scope since being created by a conman.

Where did you come up with that number?

There's only one true God who lives forever and you haven't been able to bury Him yet. Until you can prove otherwise, He still lives forever. So, get to work, my friend.

I thought so.

@GodSpeed63 If the Jesus character existed and was intombed, Joseph of Arimathea probably ate his bloody corpse in the belief that he would gain eternal life. Instead, he ended up with a very bad case of diarrhea.

@GodSpeed63 According to the biblical fairytale, even bad people will gain eternal life. They just won't be admitted to the golden cube called "New Jerusalem."

Learn to spell, Dio. you're wrong on both counts and have nothing as usual.

@GodSpeed63 You really should read the fairytale if you are going to continue to comment on it.

Here's a passage that might increase your meager knowledge =

Revelation 22:14-15 (CEV)= "14 God will bless all who have washed their robes. They will each have the right to eat fruit from the tree that gives life, and they can enter the gates of the city. 15 But outside the city will be dogs, witches, immoral people, murderers, idol worshipers, and everyone who loves to tell lies and do wrong."

You are coming across as someone wo loves to tell lies.

BTW, will you be so kind as to point out words that I have misspelled? Every once in a while I make typos but I try to correct them when I see them. This forum does not have a spell checker.
