Talk:Essay:A Challenge to Creationists (view source)
Revision as of 14:03, June 16, 2008
, 14:03, June 16, 2008→Not much of a challenge
Here's the real challenge: if [[God]] ''did not'' create everything, then explain to me how it was physically possible for things to "just happen," and in a way that does not multiply guesses. It doesn't even have to be an odds-on favorite; odds less than nineteen to one against would be fine. The trouble is that the odds against things "just happening" are nothing short of [[astronomy|astronomical]], and somethings simply ''could not'' have "just happened" in any amount of time, and other things couldn't have happened because they ''did not have that much time''.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 09:47, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

Response: If god DID create everything, how did HE come to be? that's even LESS likely than this world developing on its own. And he couldn't have always been there. Time cannot extend infinitely backwards, because if it did, then an eternity would have passed by now, which defies the rule of "eternity".
