Ooh, now why didn't I EVER think of that! Could you ask him for me? I don't think I'm in his good books.
This is BY FAR the STUPIDEST cop out I've seen in ANY discussion.
No, you go ask the singularity where it came from.

The question stands. Who are you to pick and decide which parts were figurative? Before evolution was proposed, Genesis was solid truth. After that, it's figurative. Before we knew what caused eclipses, it was god. After that, it was god making the planets move. Notice a pattern here?

Unfortunately, we have nothing except his own word to suggest god talked to him. And if god is so powerful, why can't he talk to all of us?

I did not understand it, but I dropped it. What I was talking about was that absolute omnipotence was impossible, i.e the heavy stone, complex equation thing.
And once again, you have abandoned the free will issue, and the complexity of god issue. Exactly how many times do I have to tell you to reply to the full post?
