You just have to reconsider what you think of the Bible, consider the whole Universe in all it's complexity and bam your a Deist. Welcome to the club.
Kidding of course. I'm open to the Bible being right, but the more I learn the less likely I feel that'll be the case. But as I've said there is much I want to learn still at some pt when I have more time.
You are attempting to explain away in human terms. The fact of the matter is nothing of this exists EXCEPT in the mental interpretation of the five senses making meaning out of a vibratory pool of pure energy, if indeed that. There IS no physical universe outside the senses. In fact, not a single dot nor dash exists outside a mind's ability to percieve it. That we percieve some things uniformly and others differently is the mystery to be unlocked.
