But it's ignorant man that said it, not God. We believe that God willed the
universe into existence and then turned it over to evolution. There's a
difference between man's understanding of "absolute" and what God's desire for
absolute may be. God shows that he lets us hang ourselves in sin if that's
what we want. He don't interfere. So maybe he can, maybe can only if he
chooses to, and maybe he can't change the pass absolutely. His letting us
choose satan over him tells me that, even if he can, he doesn't.

Yet you can't over come the clear fact that MAN is trying to determine absolute,
while God may have other ideas. And man can't say one way or the other in
truth.

It's not an issue of "my" God. There is only one.

Then you must equally deny creation.

Your logic is false because your man conclusions can't match up to decisions by
God.

Strickly a highly unlearned mankind trying to define God.
