Dan says: Just the creation account is enough to believe in a Creator. Joyce, there is a reason the devil went to the woman.

My son replied:  Yes, but what creator?  Who created the creator?  And yes, mom, that seems to be the case with every religion I've come across.  but let's keep this civil :)  And what is the reason the devil went to the women Dan?  Just curious...

My Response:

 

The "creation account" is pretty much a result of the God of The Gaps. They didn't have a clue how things started, so made up a story that might fit or explain things that were unexplainable at the time. We know through thousands of years of learning, discovering, and evolving that there are distinct clues to the origin of the universe. 

The devil made me do it... ;-D

Then my son (age 30 by the way) says:

The question that even scientists working on these issues admit is not answerable is; where did the singularity before the big bang come from IF the big bang theory is correct. Which there is tons of evidence to support as being correct. There is also M-Theory as well. Something involving strings and 11 dimensions or something like that. Too complicated for my simple mind to understand. Yet, I have fun pondering such things and hope that someone smarter than me can find the answers and provide proof in a way that such a simple mind can understand.
theoretical physics is quite odd.

Very nice! Your son is doing quite well. And is it just me or is Dan having trouble even with the concept that people actually do believe in gods other than his own? Not just other versions of his god (as evidenced by his railing about Muslims, Mormons and Catholics), but entire different pantheons?
