So yeah, perhaps there was a creator god, that does not mean it was the nasty genocidal fellow described in the OT. It also does not mean that said deity is eternal (nothing else in the Universe seems to be: change is constant in the Universe). Perhaps the creator simply created the Universe and ceased to exist or moved on. Thomas Jefferson's "Watchmaker Deity".In other words, as far as you know God could have created life on earth because you have no other valid scientific explanation for the origin of life on Earth.I am not in any way using YOUR words, you are a fanatic early earther and your thinking skills are quite poor.
Or at some point in the past several billion years, the special conditions that allowed for some protein to replicate itself in one to many occasions.
Or at some point life emerged outside the Earth and traveled here on a meteor. This also could have happened from one to many times.
I do not think the chances of the Biblical being accurate are very high at all. Exceedingly low, actually. This is because of the great complexity of the Christian deity. The more complex, the less likely.
Occam's Razor states that if one has several explanations, it is wisest to select the least complicated. The existence of a Unique Eternal Being that is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent and mute, intangible, invisible, odorless and inaudible is exceedingly complicated, much, much more so than the Biblical character known as "God" or the even more complex Trinity.
