God the scientist

[sblack77]

My feelings are that from the beginning man has interpreted God in a modern sence. We are taught that we were made from his image and that he created all living things, as we know them today.
My thinking is He is a great scientist and has created life from the beginning of time, not necessarily what we know as modern animals and humans. Evolution goes hand in hand with God's experiments if you will. We believe that God is perfect, however, I think he is flawed just like we are. I believe he has tried hard to create a perfect being, but has failed many many times. All animals have evolved into what we have today, including humans, who's to say that God doesn't look like a chimpanzee, and not a white haired man cloked in white. This all I think was brought in by man and man's idealogical thinking. The one thing that God could not loose was the animal in us all, that's why the ten commandments were written, and He sent his own Son to die for us. ???

Why should we fall in awe of a God who makes so many mistakes? What makes Him worthy of worship if He too is indeed flawed?

[sblack77]

because he gave us choice, which is what separates most from animals, we don't worship Him because He is perfect, but because He is all powerful

 

[matthew.william]

What kind of choices are you referring to? If God is flawed, yet all powerful, He's basically a man who is all powerful. Am I correct? Not to mention, if He's flawed, He could sin, could He not? That would certainly cause some theological problems.

all of them, no reference of man here, just my thoughts on what God's like, a scientist, because fo sho he didn't just create what we know in the modern world, he created it all, but, we are taught that the animals he created are our modern animals. We put a false sense of what He created in our youth, like non of what science has found is real or something. He is all powerful because he can create life and we can't, he's probably too busy to sin, oh wait how many people has he killed. Sin, right??

My thinking is He is a great scientist and has created life from the beginning of time, ...

My thinking is that your thinking lacks substantiation. Why posit a God?

 

[sblack77]

why put forth a God, because I believe in one and duh.... its not like God came down and told me he was a scientist or anything, and if he did I wouldn't have proof anyway just my word, right. So let's leave it at my minds thoughts, no proof needed to share those on this board, didn't see that in the rules. anyway, my question isnt' about God, its about how we teach the bible to our kids in a modern sense, instead of how creation really started

Proof is not needed nor, for that matter, was it requested. I simply asked for the reasons underlying your thinking. If you have none, or have none you wish to share, that too is perfectly within the rules.

No, I don't believe God created all the animals we have now from the very start, but that is because I believe in micro-evolution. I certainly don't jump to the conclusion that God can make mistakes because there is a lot of variety in the world. People infer that God created all the present animals we have now because they refuse the notion of animals ever changing biologically, or some other reason.
I would like to know who God killed in a sinful manner.

sorry i believe killing in any way is a sin, and I do believe in God, just not a perfect one. So evolution and God can go hand in hand, thanks for your response
