Did he set things in motion a trillion years ago? I say yes and that's how I join religion and science.


You're assuming that God rested because he was tired. When you kick back and take a day off, is it always because you are exhausted? Doubtful. He rested because there was no more creation left for him to do. He looked at what he had created, and "God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day." (Gen. 1:31).

Your comprehension (or lack thereof) of God is what holds you back. He is not human. His strength and energy are immeasurable and impossible to deplete.



Oh please. Just claiming God needs to "Kick back and have a beer" applies human qualities. Claiming God felt good about his work and chilled out with his homies because he was happy is applying a human quality to him. Applying a time to an All powerful being is applying a human quality to it. It just happened. It's unexplainable which is what God is meant to be.

Maybe you should realize that parts of the bible just might... Not... be... accurate.


God ended his creative endeavor when he was pleased with it. He's the creator, he calls the shots of when he wanted to finish. Your cavalier lack of respect to God ("chilling with his homies", "kick back and have a beer.") shows how deep your contempt of religion is. Your view is skewed, so the argument is moot. Good day.
BTW, a beer does sound pretty good, doesn't it?
