Does it really matter if God was created?

Well even if the genealogies aren't literal, it shows that more translations agree with the video and also it was the first time I learnt about Melchizedek. It was also odd to see that the YEC organisations I contacted prefer the 4004 BC dating for some reason.

The true genealogies are simple. A lot of false doctrines, teachings and practices and arguments are out there though - much more false than truth. This is the nature of mankind, society, religions, and the world.
Thus, to find the truth, is rare. On the other hand, to remain on the wide path (of all society) to destruction is most common and 'rewarded' by the world in an attempt to keep people on the wide path, the popular path, even though the results are death and continual, eternal separation from the Creatyor....

I thought they'd see an infinite amount of glory first.... and it is unclear whether you can see more glory than what already is infinite.

There are hierarchies of infinities. For example, the set of real numbers is more numerous than the set of integers.

Wouldn't there be infinite time in eternity?

Something had to be around forever since something does not come from pure nothing.

Once you have the rule, "From nothing, nothing comes" you cease to have nothing.

Did time, space, energy and matter exist forever (matter could just come from energy), or was there also intelligence (God)? If you say no god then time, space, energy and matter created intelligence since you are an intelligent being.

Yes, atheists necessarily believe that intelligence came about via natural processes. Theists necessarily believe that a intelligence exists for no reason and with no cause. Neither answer is very satisfying.

Human intelligence has created a form of intelligence, so super intelligence could easily make intelligent beings. The likely hold of you being the first intelligence coming from just space, time, energy and matter as compared to intelligence coming for space, time, mater, energy, and intelligence would be unbelievably unlikely, so how lucky are you?

The "simulation" is a likely alternative, I do not see where it makes much difference, except in explaining things like six days for the universe.

If this is a simulation then YEC is easily possible - but I think that it just seems plausible when you look at the Bible and the real story is guided evolution (that involves "coincidences").
Post #15 - Christianity and Computer Simulations?

Are we than AI or is God or both?

I think God and man are technically AI though we are based on humans (that exist on the outside).

Why did God make man?

I think part of the reason is what I call "The Bible Test".
Christianity and Computer Simulations?
I think God was created to create a universe containing people - to test them. It is related to happiness: (my website with some short videos - talks about happiness in life, Christianity and simulations)

Here you go then:

Who Else Wants to Experience God in Your Life?

Usually I only pray if someone tells me to or if it is very important. My reasoning is that there could be a limit to how much prayer is answered (involving God tweaking the universe though apparent coincidences) so I focus on the most important things.
