As I believe I suggested it makes no difference to me whether God created
the universe in 24 hour increments or not. God is the Master of time. He
controls it and exists also outside of it. He could have speeded it up if
He wished. It is irrelevent to the fact that He did it.
TILL
Ron, could you try to make a few more unsupported assertions? How do you
know that it is a "fact" that God is the "Master of time"? How do you know
that it is a "fact" that God exists outside of time? (I have asked you
before to explain how it would be possible for ANYTHING to exist outside of
time.)
RON
Frankly, the creation is totally beyond our present conception and
understanding. <snip>
TILL
But if skeptics should say how that the universe originated by natural means
is "totally beyond our present conception and understanding," you wouldn't
be satisfied with that explanation, would you?
RON
No I wouldn't. Because you limit yourself to the natural realm.
Therefore you cannot go beyond it. I, however, can resort to the
super-natural as an explanation FOR the natural. For you, by definition,
there can be nothing except the natural. If the universe did not always
exist your paradigm cannot deal with it except by total silence.
