   Why would a created being have the belief that they would be more wiser and powerful than their creator?

      Well according to the Bible, only the heavens and the earth were created. God made everything else from the materials at hand. Adam was formed from dust and Eve was formed from one of Adams ribs. The rest of us are born of parents.

      You don't have any evidence of this creator you speak of, so your question is nothing more than childish drivel.

   Cagsil, If your father had the power to create,why did he not have the power to sustain? He, nor you, nor I, have the power to create anything. We may manufacture or possibly invent, but not create. All things that are on this earth come from something that was already here. Nothing newly created. Maybe newly discovered, but not created. And you do show that you are not wiser than your father.Only more arrogant and assumptive.

      He did, which is why I am here.
      He did for a good number of year, but is only human, just like all of us.
      You seem to not understand create?
      It goes to show you lack understanding of the language you use. "Manufacture" and "Invent" are the same thing as create. Go figure YOU wouldn't know the difference.
      Yeah, so what. It still doesn't mean that we, as a humans, don't create things.
      So what.
      Again, so what.
      Actually, I am 5x wiser than my father. However, since YOU do not know my father, nor did at any time, YOU wouldn't know. So learn to speak for yourself.
      Untrue.

      It's easy to understand one way or another, the issue is believing in a creator, which is a stretch of the imagination and understanding.

      Truth is usually defined as; that which is in accordance with fact or reality. And you're right. The religious do avoid facts and reality, and tend to torture the messenger.

            I'm not looking for an argument, but there is nothing to back that up as 'truth' or 'proof'except the word of the religious. People make lots of claims. It doesn't make it so.
            
            Out of curiosity, considering how many have made the same claim over the years that you are making; and it proved to be a lie. Why would you believe it now? Why should I?

               you don't have to believe anything you don't want to,  but when you stand before God when you die I can't understand why you would take the chance of the punishment you will face.  But thats your choice, as for me, I am here to spread the word so people can hear the truth and make there decision.  I can't change the world, but I do know there is hope for everyone and hell is a choice.  A choice that only they can make, I hope you choose Heaven.  God does not place us on Earth to question him, he would love for everyone to choose his path... FREE WILL is what  we live by, and satan is who destracts us and leaves us questioning.. if you sheek you shall find... all it takes is faith...

                  Yes. That makes perfect sense. I'm born into a world that shows no proof of your god. I live a lifetime never running across proof of your god. I'm certainly more than willing to acknowledge him, should he show some evidence of life, yet the world goes on without one sign of his existence. But I'm supposed to take your word for it, or go to hell.
                  
                  Sounds like a very reasonable and compassionate deity you have conjured up. Please excuse me if I don't ask where to sign up.

                        I didn't say I was born into a world I don't understand. I was pointing out that the world, itself, proves your god does not exist. The Bible proves your god does not exist. The only question I have is why you think threatening me with hell would force me to ignore the obvious? And why you choose to?

                  Seems more like you're just spreading judgment and superiority over others.
                  
                  Did it ever occur to you that perhaps people aren't interested in your spreading of that word and can find out for themselves if they want to hear those so-called truths? It would seem that your mission is more about what you want as opposed to what others want. Seems rather selfish.
                  
                  
                  
                  Whatever choice others make is not for you to decide. And, if others decide that your beliefs in heaven and hell are irrational and contradictory, then that is the choice they make.
                  
                   
                  
                  No, your god, like many other gods, commands us to choose his path or else we burn for an eternity in hell, that is not free will, that is a threat. Free will would allow us to make the choice to not have anything to do with your god, your heaven and your hell.

   I think that it requires more blind faith to believe we, as a species are at the top of the ladder.
   And that all knowledge of all things is available to us.
   Religion doesn’t cause wars any more than any other theology does when arrogance and greed inters into it.
   Arrogance is not a respecter of persons, and it has no boundaries.

   To answer the posted question, I'll take it back to the first fall of man. The desire of Lucifer was control, to be on the throne. That same desire was instilled in Adam and it continues today. Look at us as a human race. Even those of us who believe in God live our lives as though he doesn't exist.
   
   We go on a lifelong quest for wealth and power, when in reality I could own 100 mansions, be the leader of some great empire and all, but could fall terminally ill and all of a sudden, the temporary wealth and power that I had don't matter.
   
   I will never tell people what to believe and they can all call me stupid for believing I was created and not just a result of random chance, but the proof is all around, the way a fruit tree can emerge from a tiny seed, the way an ant can carry up to 50x it's body weight.

      So who, or what, created the creator?  Since we are speaking from the concept of logic.
      
      BTW, fruit trees and ants carrying massive loads have nothing to do with proving the existence of a creator, and to think so is purely conjecture, based upon ones inability to think outside the box of indoctrination.
