Today's Sermon: Did God Hear A Big Bang?

Such a question.

Did you hear a big bang? Of course not, unless you experienced a TDFT (Thanksgiving Deep Fried Turkey) event last November.

I didn't hear a big bang, either. But does that mean it didn't happen?

According to an anonymous author, God created Atom and Mota (the latter is my palindromic snarkiness showing), which in turn created the basis for God creating man in his own image.

Huh? Anonymous explains:

First of all, if there really was a “Big Bang,” then where did the first two atoms come from? If atoms are the basic building blocks of all matter, then who or what created those first two atoms?

Wait. It gets weirder...

But think about it! Can atoms create themselves? Can dead earth create life? Do explosions increase order? If you blew up a pile of lumber, metal, and other building materials, would it end up as an F-117 jet airplane? If you say that this is impossible, then you are right. You are even more right when you say that the universe is one billion times more complex than an F-117. It just couldn’t have happened without a Creator!

Let me get this straight: If you can't create an F-117 by blowing up a pile of lumber, metal, and other building materials, you must believe that God (more precisely, The God of Abraham) created the universe?

Here's my favorite part:

How old is the universe?

Science is based upon observation. It is bad science to call an unobservable event a fact of science.

Snark Alert! Unless a reputable, literate person witnessed the big bang and recorded it for evidentiary purposes billions of years later, it didn't happen?

Color me astonished.

There's a lot more in the article by anonymous, namely a bunch of crap about the first and second laws of thermodynamics, but it all boils down to this:

Do you believe the God of Abraham created the universe or not?

If so, why remain anonymous?

And why bother trying to refute science with scientific-sounding argumentation?

Shouldn't faith in God be enough?


Thus Endeth Today's Sermon.

Go forth today, secure in the knowledge that the more we think we know, the more we'll never know in this lifetime... which, according to Anonymous, means that events we haven't actually witnessed must not have happened.

And enjoy your Sunday.

I mean it, damn it!
