Would you be satisfied with part of one day? He created light on Day One, and separated the light from the dark, again on Day One.
Hell will be; seeing the height, breadth and depth of creation, seen and unseen, then to see its creator, then to know all your earthly life you denied both.
To be awash in the super reality of God and His creation, having believed these things from a child, will for me, be heaven.
I'd be more interested in why you said he did it in an instant.
I’m sure there is a universe of Mexicans on the other side who have made their way through, around, above & below and are headed to the Milky Way.
Lends credence to my theory that the Universe has always existed. It spawns from virtual photons and particle pairs and ends via blackholes that spawn virtual photons and particle pairs through Hawking-type radiation...
It also follows that such masses would lend to my theory that space-time knots and twists. These "walls" would tend to form from the over-lapping gravity gradients of the galactic clusters like troughs and peaks in a bed-sheet tossed on a bed.
Pretty cool stuff.
That’s my point. No one can explain or comprehend infinite time and space, yet atheists insist that they only accept the explainable.
It is equally impossible to scientificly explain a universe with a finite beginning or one which is infinite. Something cannot come from nothing, but nothing can have existed forever without an origin. I have spoken to a few atheists about this and they generally say, “It is,so i must be.”, which is interestingly a matter of faith.

Why would belief in one necessarily preclude belief in the other?
Many atheists are in reality; agnostics. They admit to ‘not having a grasp of the enormity of the universe and its Creator’.
Humility is asking questions.
re: “Nothing about doing it in an instant.”
I’m with you. All Genesis 1:1-2 says is:
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”
It simply says, “In the beginning”, which tells us nothing about how long ago that occured. God may have created the universe billions of years prior to doing His creative work with the earth. The earth may have been in existence for millions, billions (who knows?) as a formless empty planet before the “week” of creation took place. It just doesn’t say.
Now, the Big Bang evidence suggests that the universe formed explosively from a given point and is still expanding away into what?? It is beyond comprehension.
“yet atheists insist that they only accept the explainable”
Thank you for attempting to put false words in my mouth:<((((
This humanist accepts the fact that I don’t know and neither does anybody else. I also refuse to jump to any conclusions like its “Snap Your Finger Time” or that its been there forever. The universe that is.
On the other hand (she wore a ring), while not knowing, I would bet the cosmic farm that there is other sentient life so far more advanced than humans we would quickly assume they were Gods. They just haven’t yet been able to cross that cosmic void. :<))))))
But why does anything have to come from something? Why can't it just have always existed? Including God?
When I was a kid and first heard that space was infinite, I thought to myself that it couldn't be possible. There's got to be an end to the universe somewhere...a wall. And then I wondered what would be on the other side of the wall.
The idea that the universe bends back on itself is another goofy proposition, too.
Well, Seth said there was no beginning, and there’ll be no end.
Just kinda throwin’ that out there...
CA....
And also...it never suggests that God measures his days by the rotation of our little planet Earth.
As miraculous as our Creation must’ve been, maybe we’re all just specks of dust on the surface of the third electron in a giant fluorine atom, and those walls are nearby carbon nanotubes that some lab chemist “just” cooked up.
Please explain, scientifically, how that is possible.
Why would belief in an infinite and eternal Universe abnegate the existence of an equally infinite and eternal God?
