I don't really get why this god of yours would bother to create the impression that the world and the universe were billions of years old though. Because it has done that, and very consistently.
I think when God created Adam, He made him fully mature. When God created the universe, He did the same thing. The text reads when He made the stars, their light is shown on the earth at that moment, that all other things made were due to God, not natural causes those were being formed, they didn't do the forming. He didn't make a man as a fetus and grew him on the planet, and then when He was matured, start talking to Him.

Well I don't find that particularly credible, but if it makes sense to you then I'm alright with that.

It is what it is; every explanation doesn't explain when we have the unexplainable. It makes more sense that there is a first cause that wasn't caused by anything else than to have everything that requires a cause not to have one.

Lol, I'm quite familiar with Darwin thanks, although I get my information from reputable sources. I suspect the drosophila experiment to which you keep referring is the work of Diane Dodd on allopatric speciation, the results of which were actually considered to be positive from an evolutionary perspective.
If you’re “quite familiar” with Darwin, you’d know that the quote where he said for his theory to be true, the number of intermediate varieties (transitional fossils) must be “truly enormous” was from his book. Darwin wrote that in “On the Origin of Species.”

Looks like your claim of being “quite familiar” with Darwin and of having looked into the theory of evolution “extensively” are two more whoppers.

An uncaused first cause didn't come from anywhere; God always was, is, and will be.

Lol, whatever you say champ.

Are you pretending you've actually read Darwin now?

Yeah, to me that seems no stronger than the universe spontaneously creating itself.

Obviously you haven’t lol.

How many more whoppers are you gonna tell in here? You’re really quite shameless with your casual and flippant dishonesty.

You can try that with your fellow evolutionists, but don’t try that with me, tiger.

As I said it is impossible to avoid attempting to explain the unexplainable with explanations, which is most responsible an uncaused first cause directing all the causes or nothing is responsible for the complex nature of the universe and everything in it?

Honestly, to me the latter seems more likely simply because it lacks any infinite qualities.

You didn’t recognize a quote from Darwin that he had written in his own book, despite your claim of being “quite familiar” with Darwin and having looked into the theory of evolution “extensively.”

You serve up more whoppers than Burger King lol
