Quote by Dejan Stojanovic

“According to the standard view of the main religions, God created the Universe. According to this standard, the Universe is material, but the Creator is immaterial. On the other hand, we can imagine that the Universe has always existed, and if that were the case, there would be no creator to create it; “it simply is” (Bertrand Russell).”

“If the Big Bang theory is correct, then the whole universe was created at the same time, if this is correct then, God must have been made after, If there is alien life far more advanced than us, and they visit us as millions of people believe they do, this leads me to believe that the human race must have destroyed itself many times over in history All we have as evidence of our history is, upright stones with some writing on them, some ancient archaeologist sites, and some caves with drawings on the walls, that lend some interpretation to our history on earth”

“Let me offer an analogy for the creation, destruction, and evolution of the universe. Imagine you make a dish and store it in the fridge. After a few days, it starts to grow mold. When you notice it’s spoiled, what do you do? You throw it away and start fresh, right? The universe works similarly. God creates it, but over time, it gets 'infested'—with imperfections, decay, and chaos. Eventually, God sees the 'infestation' and decides to destroy it, starting fresh with a new creation. We are that infestation! In the meantime, He has no control over how the infestation began or how it evolved. Nor do our prayers have any effect on him, as he’s going to destroy the world no matter what when he sees our infestation.”

“The argument from poor design in its strict and simplest sense means that the World (Universe) and everything in it is not perfect. To better understand and answer this argument, it is essential to know that the world and everything in it were neither made nor came into being to be perfect as we understand perfection. With the more “perfect” design (to use this term for the argument), conditionally speaking, evolution would either not be possible or would be limited in proportion to its potential.”
