Oh, and before you get into that whole creationist schtick of 'What came before that?' that I know is coming, don't bother. It is neither effective nor particularly interesting, and has been answered innumerable times before. Do yourself a favour and read some articles on the history of the universe and remember that those same questions neuter theism just as well as you think they do naturalism.

i do and I studied it. sin we are given from birth even if you do not believe in God. But Adam and Eve is more of a summary on how we got orginal sin.

You only have sin if you believe in God. :unsure: *looks around for Nature-Spirits* When I was a goddess in Lost Kiengir, I used shame to get malefactors to straighten up and fly right. The idea of sin carrying down from the first people is abhorrent to the logical mind.

True. After all, we are from the same race, same planet, and we all bleed the same blood. It is just natural for humans (like you and me) to express our ideology and that is normal and healthy.

You find it logical that life spontaneously formed?

At one point, there was no life. At some later point, there was. Something happened in between to bring about life. As I see it, the idea of the chemicals involved in life being present together and reacting(as chemicals so often do) in order to bring about very simple lifeforms makes perfect sense. The idea of some kind of supreme being crafting lifeforms through nothing more than divine willpower? Any logic there escapes me.

I was taught to be a Catholic for the first 12 years of my life, and I was never taught anything about Revelation being a coded message, and I was taught that there would be an end to the world. Perhaps it was just my teachers, or perhaps the position of the Church has changed since then, but I trust you understand that I'll be wanting a source.

Yes.

Where did that god come from?
