An eternity is a very long time. sufficient time that billions of universes could have been created and ended in the past.

I think it is only our own arrogance that makes us think we are the first time humans have been created.

Also with the trillions of planets in the the known universe, we could very well be just the new kids on the block.

Maybe because he was busy making planet-killing asteroids and planetoids.

It's kind of pointless to have humans and not have asteroids that can wipe humans off the face of the Earth.

If you think about it, since God was from eternity past, how did he even get to the present having to go through an infinite of time before he started creating?

Gads. Why not just ask how come the ski is blue.

Is this yet another "God doesn't exist because" thread? Obvious answer is yes.

Good grief, that book da bible is not a science book.

I mean, doesn't it tell us that gawd created all the stars in the sky? Let me check... oh yeah, there it is, Genesis 1:16. Yup, gawd made the stars.

BUT, wait, there's MORE!

The bible lied. Why? Well, that bugaboo creationists just don't like, Science (which many equate with some demon or other), has shown us to this day stars are forming. And dying. Expaning, and contracting.
