do you know what id means? intelligent design of course. god isnt a kind of intelligent design?
No. Most of us who believe in God believe in Him as Creator, not "designer."

ID, Intelligent Design, is a hoax perpetrated by a fascist front organization called the Discovery Institute. It is nothing but a propaganda tool intended to soften us up for the totalitarian theocracy they would like to impose.

Has better answer to every question.

You've just shifted from the term "superior" to "better" without offering anything substantive. I'll put it this way...

The religion in the OP has an answer for "how did the universe come to be?"....christianity, likewise, has an answer for the same question....

What exactly would make the christian answer "better"?

Hello Ana the Ist.

If mankind developed nuclear weapons earlier in history, we would have been victims of an extinction event. We have been irradiated many times already. Mankind has a vast history of war and destruction, so we do not need technology to advance further. Monkeys cannot be trusted with advanced technology.

Christianity says: God creates the universes.
Others said: We do not know.

Maybe you didn't read the OP...or you forgot it....

...the creation myth of the the Bushongo people, which says that the lonely God Bumba had a terrible stomach ache one day and vomited up the sun, moon, stars, and the earth...

So clearly, there's an answer for the question...and it isn't "I don't know". In fact, the vast majority of religions have a creation myth that answers the question in a similar fashion as christianity.

The answer provided by Christianity is the foundation to other doctrines of Christianity. It is a much better (superior) theology.

Lol again...you're claiming that it's "superior" without offering any explanation for why it's superior.

I get that it feels superior to you on an emotional level...but when we're talking about why an answer is "superior" to another answer, we're talking about how it provides a more complete explanation, a clearer understanding, or its in some way more factually correct. For example...

If the question was...what is capitalism? And these two answers were given....

1. An economic system.

2. An economic system based upon the concept of free markets where supply and demand regulate prices and optimize the value to the consumer.

We can see that these are both "answers" and they both answer the same question. If I were to say that #2 is "superior"...I can actually explain why it's superior.

So when you say that christianity is "superior"...you need to be able to explain why it's superior, not just claim it.

A long story. It is better than all other religion/philosophy.
You said "superior".
Now it is just "better".

Better is a more subjective term as well.

And meanwhile, you still haven't answered in what way it is supposedly "superior".

Because it has answer on everything. Nothing, none else, can do that.

But if Christianity has the answers to EVERYTHING, then why would we require scientists to find answers to anything?

Scientists do science. That is a correct way of doing things.
