Again; if God has not always existed, what other option is there other than him being created?Activity must have a starting point. There had to be a first motion - this should be admitted even by atheists. But what propelled it? Most atheists would probably stipulate the Big Bang Theory but that's just a bunch of incomprehensible gibberish. My theory is more simple. Matter is never created or destroyed and thus had an initial state.
Again, what propelled the first motion? Suppose I punch you in the face. Would you be content with that behavior? If you're a determinist, than you really don't have cause for complaint, mere mechanical cause-effect propelled my fist hence you can't be angry with me. But if you believe in free will, then free will propelled that punch. NOW you've got cause to be angry with me.
Physicists have been ignoring the possibility that free will is a physical force. But doing so seems to divest them of a plausible propellant for the first motion. Ultimately SOMETHING must be self-propelling, and the Big Bang theory doesn't do a good job of identifying it.
Thus the first motion is the first act of free will, it is some of the matter of the Totality (my name for the sum total of matter) beginning to awaken (like a fetus in a womb). The first person to awaken is the being we Christians now know as God. His power? The same as ours - self-propelling free will. Nothing magical about it. Nothing supernatural about it. It's something we all see/experience every moment of every day.
Eventually - out of the leftover matter - He formed the universe, our planet, our bodies, and our physical souls. As we know, this process involved at least 13 billion years.
Atheism (and theism) is about what you believe, and Agnosticism (and gnosticism) is about what you know. The two has nothing to do with each other.Hard question because I find the terms 'agnostic' and 'atheist' are used in ways still confusing to me. But I think my point was clear enough.
