So you're making up new arguments to prove yours.              No one set as a condition that everything needed a creator. You and I       were "created" when our parents had sex and sperm and egg did their       thing.

If the       definition of God is the creator of everything in existence that we are       aware of, why does the possibility that he was created change that       definition?              Whether or not God exists is not actually knowable. But trying to       logically prove or disprove his existence logically requires a singular       definition of God, which you don't have.       >       > (link above)       >              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
