Theo-illogical

Stegbeetle asks:
Assuming she exists, what single thing would you ask God, given the opportunity?


You made a mistake in addressing God as "she", Stegbeetle. It should be a capital S. ;-)

I'll use the more popular male pronouns in my reply though. The God I don't believe in might as well be male. :-)

But, assuming God exists, I'd ask Him why, during His seven day stint of creation, He went to so much effort to make it look like it had taken billions of years.

He'd probably come up with some baloney about it being a test of faith, and I'd be left wishing I'd phrased the question better.
Lynn Jones  Clearly God charges the same way that all IT consultants do. You do 7 days of work and bill for 10 billion. :)

'Next, next, finish. Right, that's the Alps done. What's next?' 
Anonymous  Damn, I'll be struck down.

I'll say two "Hail Mary"s and three "Hello Dolly"s! 
Siobhan Curran  $create = array(    "light", 
                              "sky", 
                              "land and vegetation", 
                              "stars", 
                              "creatures and birds", 
                              "livestock and man"
                              ) ;

foreach($create as $day => $thing) {

    $command = "touch ~/earth/".escapeshellarg($thing)
                         ."; chmod 0766 ".escapeshellarg($thing) ;

    if(strpos("man", $thing) !== false) { $command .= "--image \"in\\ own\"" ; }

    exec($command) ; 
    echo $thing." is good\n" ; 
        
    }
        
sleep(86400) ;  
Anonymous  I'm sorry. I simply couldn't resist:

I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. Q.E.D."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

// Mr Douglas Adams.

As far as a question... Hmm.

"What the devil are you?"

:-)

Anonymous  Oh, Carolyn Ann, thats one of my most favourite quotes of all time - I haven't seen it for a while. HHG was an excellent trilogy of books, but never really took to the screen version. 
Stephanie Delacey  You could always read Omphalos by Philip Henry Gosse who argued that the world was indeed created so that it looked old. 
triticale  There's also the notion, raised here in the US in the Scopes monkey trial (back when teaching evolution was a crime), that "day" was metephoric, and meant a G-d-sized day. There's actually some rather scientific argument that each of the "days" of Creation took about the same length of time.
