    No. Not really.

    We have God's essence with us no matter what we believe, but it is our choice to exercise it. For example, Libertine (to use an example from the fora) loves Person X. Libertine does not love God because he does not believe in such an entity. God does not care. Libertine uses the gift of love he received from God.

    Trying to explain God is probably the single most difficult task to do, and probably why man has never been able to before.

    Uh...Who are you to decide how likely the random creation of the universe is? That's a pretty big assertion for something like that. Actually, I would say, time being infinite and nature of singularities unknown, it had to happen.

    I know this is off topic, but I'll get back on in a sec. Let's take your car example. You throw parts up, and it's pretty unlikely that you'll get a car when it comes back down. However, repeat the action an infinite number of times, and the probability is 1. It will happen. One time, you will throw up the parts, and a full car will come back down with the key in the ignition and a full tank of gas. Given, of course, complete randomness.

    Back on topic, this is a good example of what disappoints me about christianity. The baseless assertion, the lack of understanding or desire for understanding, the assumption that a given point of view is right. I don't know how the universe was created. I think you'll get the same from most atheists. I think the big bang occured, but I don't know why or how, and don't profess to. But there's evidence for it. I don't know if there's a god. Maybe there is. But even if there is, it is not possible in this life, barring some objective divine happening experienced by many people, to know a god's nature. Therefore, I propose that a loving god will love a good person enough for eternal reward, and is therefore not something to worry about. If god exists and is non-loving, then god is not someone I want to hang out with for eternity anyways.

    For a disbeliever in God, a fundamental question asked of those who do believe in God is can God be separate from the actions of those who profess to believe and act in God's name? Thus, for a disbeliever, God is in the details of action of those who believe.
