Evolutionary Creationism is when “God the Creator uses evolution to bring about the universe according to his plan.”
Theistic Evolution is when “god creates through evolution.....the view of creation taught at mainline Protestant seminaries, and it is the official position of the Catholic Church.”
These quotes are taken from “Science Friction” by Michael Shermer.
How can a creator deity which exists in an other than material realm create matter for the universe? And, whence God? If God is supernatural, then where did he exist and how did he gather natural matter? If God is part of existence, that is the material realm, where did he exist before anything else existed...in what realm of nothingness?
How did a creator deity begin if not created by a previous creator..and from what was God created?
There is absolutely no reason to assume that the condensed matter was the first, nor the last, of universe creators. Nor is there any reason to assume that matter has not always existed, nor that universes in what ever form have not always existed.
Matter has always existed or a supernatural deity has always existed? I choose matter because it is natural...deities are supernatural. That is, if one has a choice...why not choose that which actually is proved to exist.
If something has always existed, then there was never nothing. Only creation speaks of nothing. ..nothing but the creator which is not nothing nor abides in nothing, or does it?
I know the universe exists. As far as I am concerned, it always has existed, and will exist in some form or another...perhaps collapse and expand again, perhaps bud off another universe, perhaps there are multiple universes that exist in a megaverse...eternal and never ending.
