Are you aware of the God paradox?

If the world was created my a natural process[the Big Bang], the larger the universe is the shorter the time God had to create it. This is a complete 180 from the way us mortals used to and still do think. The Bible treats creation as taking longer with each creation event ... that 7 day thing.

Hence the paradox ... does it take less time to create a larger universe (Nature's God, an act of Probability) or more time as taken by the God in the Bible?

    Erm...I love paradoxes, but I don't see this one.

    God (being an atheist, I don't believe this) apparently caused the universe to happen - he didn't create it in the size it is today.

    Same with the big bang. Whether supernatural or natural, the moment of creation only took a second.

    Days in Genesis is a metaphor for stages of evolution, that coincidentally is actually 7. I think science's big bang is pretty much now a discredited theory, recently by 33 top scientist. http://www.rense.com/general53/bbng.htm

    But whether the universe oozes out slowly, like evolution or with a bang is the same thing. The universe would still have to go through a slow evolution. And as the universe expands ad infinitum into God's being, it will always exploding or oozing forever.

    If you could step out of the universe and into God's being as the universe is expanding into God, it would look like nothing is happening. God is doesn't have any dimensions, so the universe in relation to God is not really expanding, but to the universe, that has dimensions, it is.

    what mortals perceive as the creation of the universe is merely a thought process of the true god. what appears to us as an ever expanding universe is in actuality a folding back upon to itself of all the physical manifestations we detect. the dimensions of this process are so phenomenally Immense and abstract that there will never be a perception of its curvature in our lifetime, the lifetime of our solar system, or for that matter the lifetime of anything we are privileged to witness. therefor there is no paradox. the act of creation was, is, and always will be. our universe and our dimension, and all other universes and dimensions (if there are others) will continuously emerge, protract and extinguish themselves for eternity. (or maybe not)

    Since God spoke the universe into existence it took only as much time as he wanted it to take.

    He not only showed order by taking His time but He used it as an example of how we are to conduct ourselves. (6 days He worked and on the seventh day he "rested." )

    The world was not created by the BIg Bang, that was the Universe it self. The world did not come along to much later.
