    In the beginning there was nothing.

    Except this super powerful being we call God.

    And then God said: "Let there be telephones!"

    And he waved his magic wand, and the world had telephones.

    The full quote that the Snowflake neglected to post:

    “God made these things called telephones and they could get on the phone and talk to each other,” he said.

    Then nothing exploded and it created the universe; then ultimately, cell phones lol.

    The hysteria is a little over the top, imo.

    No, elderly pigeons created cell phones in 1280 B.C. because their young became too liberal and lazy to deliver messages.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Ironically, it took more smarts to train pigeons to do that than it does to operate a cell phone lol.

    Who else but a Supernatural Being can 'create' something from nothing? In the world of applied science and physical laws.....when you start with -0-, nothing, the only product possible is -0-, nothing.

    So enlighten us.....where did the Telephone come from? No human being actually created a telephone from nothing....a telephone is simply an arrangement of pre-existing matter that was indeed created from NOTHING..by the only force capable of creating something from nothing, a superior or supernatural force. Call it what you will......but one thing is objectively clear with no ambiguity whatsoever, THE CREATED can never be superior to the CREATOR. Only a "FOOL" claims superiority over something that is absolutely beyond his/her control.

    Which reminds me.....want'a purchase some carbon credits so you can control the weather?

    Who created God? No one, God is "eternal" unlike the physical universe that is documented being in state of decay.

    God is not PHYSICAL, He is a spirit, existing outside of the physical reality that HE created. Something that is eternal has no beginning nor end...God is a spiritual being (2 Cor. 3:17) There is no "circular logic" as exists with the paradox of some Big Bang theory where everything was created from NOTHING.

    Its explained in the revelations called the Holy Scriptures. Its impossible for man to even comprehend the true nature of God, an Omnipresent, Omnipotent existence. God is so much more our superior man cannot even begin to imagine the totality of God. Or as the scriptures declare, "Even the awe inspiring physical heavens (the natural universe) pale in comparison with the almighty. God pre-existed CREATION (Prov. 8:22,26)

    How long has God been around? (Ps. 93:1-2)...God is all eternity. How long will God be around? (Ps. 90:2)...everlasting to everlasting. Where does God live? (Isaiah 57:15)...in a high and holy place, also with the low and contrite.

    Start with the simple concept that God has revealed to man. LOVE. "He who does not love does not know God....FOR GOD IS LOVE." -- 1 John 4:8 Love is a concept that cannot be defined only experienced....thus the scriptures tell us that God is the embodiment of LOVE and all we know about love is stated as coming from God.

    Love does not start and end with man.....it started with God and mankind mimicked Father God. "In this is love, not that we (first) loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be a propitiation(overcoming distrust) of love." -- 1 John 4:10

    Why do you not believe in God? Its a question of love. What is the opposite of love? Hate. If selflessness is a trait of love....what then is a trait (symptom) of hate...selfishness.

    You do not want to believe in God because......you love only one....SELF.

    After the miracle of telephones, a new religion was born around it called 'Phonity.'

    For some unexplained reason, Good didn't make cellphones for another 5000 years.

    But the Phonians never concern themselves with such unanswered questions.
