Does God have the ability to choose which humans to create? For example, when he saw my blueprint, could he have chosen to give life to another human in my place?

Does God create people with the prior knowledge that they will use their free will to choose not to believe in him?

How is it clear? If you know all possible outcomes of all of your choices, then you predetermine the future with every action that you choose to make, willingly or otherwise. Or does god not make choices, is he bound to carry out actions that are against his will? If, hypothetically speaking...

If a god exists and is onmipotent then he: 1. Knew the choice you would make even before you existed and 2. Had a choice as to whether or not to create you So effectively, if God exists, there is no choice. It was all predetermined by him. Which begs the question, what kind of horrible...

Perhaps, if you believe in a loving god and find comfort in your beliefs. Worship him privately without going to church. As I understand it, the bible does not insist on attending church. Perhaps I'm wrong on that, not sure? It's good that that you use your own faculties to arrive at your own...

Forgot with regards to the question of how long the universe will last. From a quick look up it will be a googolplex years. That's 1 with 100 0's behind it.

13.7bn years old I think current consensus is that the sun will die in around 5 billion years. No reason to doubt the Earth will still be orbiting right up until the engorged sun consumes it. Save for outside forces. Andromeda will 'collide' with the Milky Way in about 4 billion years but it...

Is that a simple truth?

It also says that Europeans are apes, and Americans, and Asians and Inuits and... Well every human

Wasn't that the point I was making?

I am not a scientist. The last time I studied science was when I was 16 years old in secondary school (UK). I'm now 36 and have yet to be convinced that a God exists. Where do I fit into this?

So what's the default position with regards to Hinduism? Or the existence of Fairies or Leprechauns?

Burden of proof switching much? Theism claims a deity exists, I've not been convinced by those claims. That is all. Deities may well exist but until I am convinced in balance of probability that they do then I'll reserve judgement.

Or like scooping a thimble of water from the ocean and declaring no whales exist. It also assumes even if a signal was sent to us that we would know what it was or even have the technology to receive it. Look at the advancements in technology in the last 150 years. If you sent a morse code...

I'm well aware of the Kalamity Cosmological Argument which is simply an elaborate method of special pleading.

I've always wondered whether some kind of bio-engineered organism could be made by us in order to convert sunlight into energy in some kind of photosynthesis type mechanism.

??? It was a granted premise! I thought that would be quite clear from the following question

The OP assumes there has to be a Right and a Wrong Why do you feel there is, or should be?
