Does a creator exist?

1) The earth revolves around the sun, so the sun can't "miss its course" and crash into the earth. The orbits of the earth around the sun and the moon around the earth are both fixed due to gravity.
2) No, it is not the result of an explosion. It's the result of an expansion .
" Are all these the result of an explosion. "
No. They are the result of gravity, gravity, and evolution respectively. Its just that those forces could only act upon matter that was produced by that explosion you speak of.
No, they're the result of gravity, the nature of 3-dimensional space, and evolution, among many others.
If you really want to get into it, these are the results of several explosions. Not only the big bang, if you want to believe in that nonsense which only has textbooks full of supporting data, but in order for the heavier elemenst to have formed i.e. CARBON, we had to go through a few generations of stars exploding as well.
So, while it does seem to be very amazing, there is also a ton of evidence in support of current theories. The "creator" on the other hand, who incidently could prove himself beyond any doubt anytime he wanted, comes with absolutley no evidence whatesoever. NONE.
And if there is a creator, who created the creator? Positing a creator to explain the nature of teh universe does NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION numbnuts, it just causes an infinite regress.
@Illuminatalie:
You need to stop looking at those things from a sick-ular, lie-beral, evil-utionist perspective and look at them from God's perspective. Everything good about our bodies proves creation (praise God!), while everything bad is the result of the fall (boo, hiss!).
[Does a creator exist? The sun does not miss its course and does not come down against the earth. Neither does the moon miss its course.]
2 + 2 = God? I don't think so.
[Our bodies are so well designed.]
Except for the appendix.
[Are all these the result of an explosion.]
All evidence found so far suggests that it was.
"Does a creator exist?"
Not as far as I can tell.
"The sun does not miss its course and does not come down against the earth."
The sun coming down on the Earth? Gravity doesn't work quite like that.
"Neither does the moon miss its course."
Well, technically it's slipping away. Slowly, but it is.
"Our bodies are so well designed."
I really don't see how you could think that given the innumerable things that are prone to go wrong with it. Not to mention the things that are prone to invade it that we have no defense against.
"Are all these the result of an explosion."
No. And the Big Bang wasn't an explosion. Please pass that little nugget of info along to your almost assuredly equally ignorant friends.
Our bodies are well designed? By your criteria, perhaps, but not by those of any sane person. They are supreme examples of a slapdash, by-hook-or-by-crook, I'll get it right the next time approach. Like something you might expect from, say, oh ... evolution, maybe?
Can't say for or against creator, so meh.
Due to the Sun easily being much larger and more massive than the Earth, we would technically 'come down' upon it. But as we are in a stable orbit, there's no fear of that happening without some level of interference.
The moon, as said before, is slowly drifting away. It'll stop eventually.
Our bodies are adequate for the time being, illnesses and appendixes notwithstanding.
None of these are the direct result of any explosion. Kindly study some basic astrophysics and biology.
no, it's the result of gravity and evolution. Also, if our bodies are so well desighned, please explain the apendix.
"The sun does not miss its course and does not come down against the earth. Neither does the moon miss its course. Our bodies are so well designed. Are all these the result of an explosion."
You don't state it very well, but, basically, yes. In the end, everything in the universe resulted from the Big Bang.
Who created the creator?
We don't experience the course of the sun, as that course is to orbit the center of the Universe. Our bodies are barely good enough. What about our Vitamin C producing gene, which is switched off in us and the other Great Apes, but functions perfectly fine in other animals?
Expansion, not explosion.
Zeus and Thor are Two.
It's called momentum. Check a physics book. And we have no way of counting how many comets and moons and other celestial bodies have been annihilated over millions of years as things finally settled down into fairly stable orbits. We are here living on what is left, AND IF IT WASNT LEFT, WE WOULDN'T BE HERE. We got the chance to evolve and survive BECAUSE the earth has stabilized ....AND NOT THE REVERSE, YOU BLIND AND DEAF KANGAROO THAT CANNOT FIND YOUR WAY OUT OF MOMMY'S POUCH, YOU INBRED SIMPLETON...er ...rant concluded. Sorry, I get triggered by that abominable misuse of the word "designed".
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
