He created souls, not what they were composed of. Intelligence, the essence of YOU, was not made by Him. The soul, your incorporeal form and how you interface with reality, was created by Him.

... What?

No. That's nonsense. He either created everything, or he didn't. There were no elements, no light, nothing, before God. This is explicitly stated in the book of Genesis. Ergo to create souls, he must have created their base components, including intelligence, including the essence of "you". Otherwise it would not exist, according to the very bible that claims he exists.

If anything, at all, violates that core piece of his mythos--that he is the great creator deity, that he made everything--then the basis of his existence is in jeopardy. This is why a lot of Christians (no offense) tend to fight against things like evolution: It removes God from being necessary, more and more, as time goes on and our understanding of the universe expands.

[url=http://www.openbible.info/topics/accepting_christ]Also[/url], yeah, [i]loads[/i] of verses saying that if you don't worship God, you go to hell. In fact, some of those even say worshiping him is the only qualification: Ask Jesus for forgiveness, go to heaven. Period. Committed mass genocide? Go to heaven anyway if you ask Jesus to forgive you.
