Re: The text about the creation vs the creation
Maybe as an atheist you can say that, but not as a Christian. As a Christian, you have to acknowledge that the Bible (including Genesis) is the inerrant word of God. Thus a Christian cannot claim that the Genesis story is inaccurate. To do so would ultimately indict God himself as flawed (capable of making mistakes).
​
Again - as an atheist you can say that, but a Christian cannot.

Ahh, yes "No True Scotsman Fallacy". Knew he was going to use it, just surprised it took so long.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Perhaps he wants to see if we can develop our characters and morality enough to make peace...despite the preplanned conflict. Either we can eventually....which may be all God wants...or we ultimately find that we can't...in which case we need communion and reconciliation with God.
​
It is truly amazing the evil and immorality you attribute to your god in order to support you position of the existence of god.
​
What does that say about your moral values?
​
As gods go he is is extremely weak and powerless.
