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?

1. it was made to be like that to respond to the pure stupidity of the question. you can't know where something that's always been there comes from. it's like asking "where did energy come from"? it's something that no one really knows now, especially not a 13 year old who's never gotten to study this stuff deeply.
and i didnt see the freewill issue in your post, sorry if it seemed as if i was ignoring it. upon reviewing your last post i still didnt see it... sorry to be nubbish, but could you point out what exactly you were speaking of?
2. i dont decide the doctrine on metaphores; i simply form my beliefs around what makes sense. and the Big Bang without some form of Deity, whether it be God or Brahma or Zeus or whatever, makes 0 sense.
3. Perhaps he is talking to us, but we just arent listening at the right times.
4. Weight is, once again, meaningless to God. size and weight arent a factor whatsoever. i.e. it wouldnt matter how big he made it, he could still lift it, because physical properties mean nothing.
