RE: Some (nonscientific) thoughts about religion / God plus the question if genes are responsible for being 'spiritual'.

Hi jaki01, before I say anything else I want you to know that I am a Christian, and I do believe in one God. To answer you first question about why God spends all his "precious time" watching us, is that he doesnt spend all of his time. He is always watching us, but he isn't wasting any time because he already watched us, is watching us, and will watch us. This may sound confusing, and that is because our minds just can't comprehend God, but he is outside of time. He created time, and it may be hard to believe but God is complicated. I mean, just look at us humans, at how complicated we are, with our billions of cells and our DNA coding making each and every one of us unique. God created us, and he made us special, special from all the other creatures he made. So how do you expect something as complicated as us to just, happen? The big bang theory, how an asteroid hit another asteroid, creating life and the earth? Now maybe the big bang theory is right, but if it is, it happened because God made it happen. Because God does not speak English, he speaks power.

Now, I know this is pretty long, but I will also address the question about why God gets angry at us. You used the analogy of a programmer getting mad at his software, but thats a bad analogy. Why? Because when God created us, he loved us so much that he wanted to give us one of the greatest gifts we could recieve, freedom. God gave us the choice whether to obey him or not, we chose not. So thats why God gets angry at us, because we disobey him, and thats because we have the choice to. Could a programmer give his program the choice whether to do what it's told or not?
