Any thoughts?--BobSpring is sprung! 10:12, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I took the test, but I'm not sure what I scored on it...I think around 68%...D plus! Not bad for an athiest...seriously tho, I like it :) 10:33, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I did play around with the idea of giving values and turning up fundamentalist, pentecostal, deist etc but it might be a tad complicated. I'm not sure whether to spend more time on it, mainspace it or banish it to fun.--BobSpring is sprung! 10:37, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * (I am very new here) if you made it a fun:article, then it seems to me you could do the values thing and not really worry about it being too complicated... 10:45, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Number c - Personalises or personalities? 11:24, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry Lily. Don't quite follow.--BobSpring is sprung! 11:34, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * c. There is sort of one God but He is split into-sub personalises  11:50, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah right got it. There are many "c's".  For some reason I didn't see the first one.--BobSpring is sprung! 12:08, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Young earth is actually more reasonable.
While I was writing this a thought occurred to me. Let's imagine that you are God and you have a Plan which involves mankind. You have two options:
 * Create a universe and wait 13 billion years for mankind to evolve. The largest part of those billions of years is spent watching hydrogen atoms gradually coalesce into stars and then repeat.  Things pick up a bit as you watch slime painstakingly evolve more complex slime at the same time as you use your infinite power to affect some vanishingly small evolutionary possibility to ensure mankind eventually arrives.

Or


 * Just cut to the chase and create mankind out of thin air. If you've got infinite power why go the long way round?

I mean, the YEC way is the way that I'd do it.--BobSpring is sprung! 11:30, 30 April 2010 (UTC)


 * That doesn't count if hydrogen coalescing, etc. is an enjoyable pastime for a God. You're assuming a Supreme Taco Platter Being gets bored the same way humans do. It could be his/her/it's/their hobby, in fact. --Kels (talk) 20:45, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * This is possible. But one has to ask oneself if the deity described in the Old Testament was well endowed with patience.  He/she/it certainly had a problem with tolerance and anger management in general.  But who knows with imaginary beings? --BobSpring is sprung! 20:59, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The OT God is only one possibility, though. If you mix-n-match, I'm sure it's possible. --Kels (talk) 21:31, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
