I am working my way through Lee Strobel's books for kids with my daughter, and in the book on Creation there is a claim:
"If someone is strong enough to create this whole universe, wouldn’t he have to be strong enough to remain alive? Since he made the laws of nature, how could anything in them cause his death?"
My daughter astutely asked: "but if humans can create machines and technology that can result in their own death, then why does the same not apply to God?"
I admit I don't have an adequate answer for this question that I am satisfied giving my daughter. Half-hearted truths are not what we are after. So any good, reasoned approach to answering this inquiry would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance.
