And now I'm confused as to why you drew my attention to how I was using the definitions. I just chose the most cautious one for this discussion :p |
I was sure you used the definitions appropriately, but the amount of times I've encountered agnosticism being misunderstood I felt it necessary to attempt to avoid confusion...it seems that it had the opposite effect :D |

"Then God said, Let us make man in our image ... in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."[4] On the seventh day God rests from the task of completing the heavens and the earth: "So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation."

Adam and Eve by Titian
God forms Adam "from the dust of the ground...and man became a living being."[5] God sets the man in the Garden of Eden and permits him to eat of all the fruit within it, except that of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, "for in the day that you eat of it you shall die." God makes "every beast of the field and every bird of the air, ... and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name ... but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him." God causes the man to sleep, and makes a woman from one of his ribs, and the man awakes and names his companion Woman, "because she was taken out of Man."[6] "And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed."[7] The serpent tells the woman that she will not die if she eats the fruit of the tree: "When you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,[8] knowing good and evil." So the woman eats and gives to the man who also eats. "Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons." God curses the serpent: "upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life;" the woman he punishes with pain in childbirth and with subordination to man: "your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you;" and the man he punishes with a life of toil: "In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground." The man names his wife Eve,[9] "because she was the mother of all living." "Behold," says God, "the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil," an |

Yeah, which is why from now on in this thread I'm going to proselytize for my theory of an unintelligent creator, also known as "dumb design."

I'm going to have to refute this idea.
I personally believe that the universe was created by an infinite number of omnipotent monkeys, not just one incompetant creator who may or may not be a monkey. The monkeys sure don't know what they're doing, but ironically, adding a random factor to the infinite allowed every possible outcome to fulfill itself, thus resulting in our universe. My argument for this theory is that it is adorable. |
