Hey, I thought I'd stop in for two things. 1) I wanted to drop in a short video (10 min) about octopus fossils that sort of calls into question evolutionary and long-ages style of thinking- just so you understand that evolution isn't the be-all and end all. It's kind of a cool topic that helps give you guys an idea of my sort of world view post-Jesus-ing 2) Kuroi, you brought up earlier that God cursed Adam and Eve and the ground in what was surely an overkill punishment including making the ground extra crappy as stated in Genesis 3:17-18: Literally every day this week I have run into Genesis 8:21 in some way or another; which reads, And every time I run into it I think of you. Apparently after the flood the Lord actually repealed that particular punishment; though I suspect it's still in relation more to cursing all of creation directly. Either way I want to stop running into that one line of Scripture that never came up until this week so I'm posting it here, lol.

So it was originally Chuck but he removed his rib and that created Darrel. Then they banged and God was born.

Nobody did. God existed. That's the beginning of everything. Time only exists within our universe, he exists outside of that and therefore time (like beginnings and ends) have no effect on him. He needs no creator since he is where it all comes from. Genesis 1:1, " In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." That's the beginning of time as a concept right there

that doesn't make sense though. Everything has a beginning and end right? It's confusing.

They say he is beyond time and space and logic doesn't apply.
It's easy to believe in a religion when you don't have to go by logic or reason.

Yeah but if God is within the universe, then he didn't create it. But even scientists will tell you that our construct of time is a dimension of the universe. It's weird to wrap one's head around, I know, lol.
This is what Peter said about it: "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and and thousand years are like a day" (2 Peter 3:8).
Peter's not giving us an exact frame for translating "God-time", the dude was a fisherman and poorly educated (it even comes up in the Bible). He's saying that our conception of time doesn't mean anything to God.
It's somewhat of a by-faith stance but makes more sense than some sort of earth-bound God like Odin or Zeus
