Unlikely does not equal impossible. We are here. Any miraculous explanation of how we got here is speculation.
If there is a sentient being that created everything, fine. He appears to have wound the clock and stood back to watch (if He is even watching at all). I think if He gave us a written instruction manual, He would have done a better job than any of the candidates I know about. (Not that I have studied them all.) One of the many scriptures that make sense to me and ring true is this one: God is not the author of confusion.  |
Well, lucky for you, apparently sheep aren't separated from goats based on the sounds that come out of their mouths when asked "what do you believe," as God apparently has a better idea. Perfectly acceptable definition of God bolded.
And working backward, a continuing realization over time that you aren't really sure
what you believe, or are often in confusion on a matter because of the contradiction in premises this may cause, a serious student can turn around 180 degrees, and attempt to
disprove what you (say you)
don't believe (uh, good luck with that)
Anything else becomes unsatisfactory; everything else becomes avoidance.
