I enjoyed reading your sermonette. It reminded me of Debate. Negative against Affirmative, both with seemingly contradictory evidence of the other party. Though this isn't necessarily true with our discussion. I noticed that you chose to say how my assertion and understanding of the non-living to living matter was incorrect, but failed to offer your view on the subject. (Or at least I forgot).
Also, if you remember, I did say that my assertions did not prove a God. Also I'm wondering, are you a complete atheist or more of an agnostic atheist? That seems like a silly question actually. But seeing as you agree with a finite universe, you must believe something created the universe. What are your thoughts as to this matter?
Also you are misinformed on the creation account within Genesis. There are a few different interpretations and in the book that I already stated above, the author gives a flawless account of the Big Bang matching up with the creation account. Haven't you ever wondered why it says "there was evening and there was morning - the first day?" Evening before morning? In the original Hebrew, this is translated as "there was disorder and there was order", showing how each day God made everything more orderly, which makes sense b/c with the law of thermodynamics, we know that everything is gradually moving towards disorder and chaos.
Besides that, if one were to believe that God did create the universe and believed that He was all-powerful or that he could do whatever He wanted, that person would know God could've created the universe in any order He wanted, and then set things into motion. Just because we can look at things now and mathematically calculate how all of this could have occurred in the past, does not mean that that is exactly how it happened. But of course this begs the question: does God have any limits? The most evidence I have on this would be in the Bible, and the Bible shows that God may have some limits, however undefinable they may be, but these are mainly in accordance to the world He made.
I realize this still does not change much. You know I realized, if Bill O'Reilly was smarter he could have at least begged the question "what causes gravity?", seeing as this is actually an unanswerable question. I think.
