Oh well then share with us all one factual example of anything going poof into existence out of nothingness?
I suppose the problem is with both sides of the argument based on a stupid superficial reading of Genesis that has caused believers and unbelievers alike to miss the point of the stories entirely and think that it is about God poofing existence into reality out of nothingness.
Believers profess to believe and argue to prove what the story is not about and unbelievers disbelieve and argue to disprove what the story is not about.....; a pointless waste of time. What a colossal mistake both side have made that has fucked up the quality of life for billions of people for thousands of years.
The story is not about the creation of the universe, the solar system, the earth, the sky the first human beings, or animal and plant life out of nothing.
Before light was
spoken into existence, "the earth was without shape and void and darkness covered the face of the deep." This just shows that before the light was
spoken into existence life on earth was confusion without any sense of good or evil or right and wrong and this confusion reigned from the beginning of time, and still does among lower life forms, including human ones, as everyone already knows..It is a story about the ascension of man from the realm of lower beasts and a warning about the dangers inherent in returning to living like animals in the dust of the earth from which man was originally taken and formed into a living being.
In scripture it is written that God gave the Law as a light to the nations., the law, exactly like the light
spoken into existence in genesis, separates the darkness by teaching people how to distinguish between right and wrong, true and false, good and evil and life and death.
This is the subject of genesis where cause and effect is taught and metaphors are established, the serpent, the tree of life, the beasts of the field, clean and unclean, life and death, etc, that are key to understanding the rest of scripture, comprehension of which is both light and life.
