Christianity: God is the only God and he magically poofed into existence at the beginning of time.

Ancient Greek religion: In the beginning only chaos existed. The gods evolved later and marry and reproduce just like we do.

Yet ironically Christians consider the ancient Greeks to be superstitious morons and consider themselves to be enlightened and rational.

Whats the difference between :
Samson & Heracles
the great red dragon and Typhon
talking snakes and Nagas
New Jerusalem and Saubha

Fundamentalist Christians try to believe the Bible because it has been popular for centuries. There could be some basic truth about God within some of the biblical texts.

But they want a god who gives them all the answers. They don't trust themselves. That is why they will accept this popular book as providing 100% of the answers, even though most of them don't read it, and don't seem to understand or even care about it's contents.

Not exactly...Believing that God created space and time (a dimension as it were), God was before time. If energy can be neither created not destroyed (a definition of eternal) why can't God?

Why not?
Why not?
Are you kidding me?
Because God is a complex intelligent being.
The singularity on the other hand was as simple as its possible to get.

So, your knowledge of Christianity is limited by what you THINK you know about it. Got it. Thanks for letting us know.
