Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. John 1: 14-18
That's Dr. Who.
The Hebrew God was invented about 5000 years ago and the Universe is billions of years older. So, "God" did not invent time. lol!
Speaking of Christ lying in a manger...
Really? That's interesting. How do you know this? Since time itself only exist as perception. That the universe in and of itself has no concpet of time or anything. Time is measured by us(and arguably other animals) via frame of reference. Are you saying that Christ doesn't percieve time? Wouldn't it come into existence as soon as he did? And if it didn't how did he create it? Or better yet how did he come into existence? Do you even know what you're talking about or are you just saying stuff that sounds deep and mystical for effect?
I realize this is April but still...
As for the master of all... There is still time to repent and dip yourself in its holy marinara...
He just an old has-been?
Many Astrophysicists, particle physicists and quantum physicists have written beautiful explanations on deep time, the early universe and its fascinating development. Dr Niall Degrasse Tyson, for instance, has several lectures available on that very subject, as he is an astrophysicist who runs the Haden Planetarium in NYC.
These same astrophysicists also wrote papers about the formation of our early solar system and the development of it from its initial chaotic state to now, including why Mars no longer supports life. All really fascinating stuff, if you have a thirst for knowledge backed by evidence and supported by research and experimental data.
The same can be said of the biological record, with biologists, including the celebrated (and reviled) Professor Richard Dawkins, have written many papers, given many lecutres, on evolution and the life history of the Earth, including that of humanity. Anthropolgists and Archaeologists work hard to uncover our own deep history and share it with the world, making even more fascinating stories.
You should seek them out. Not only are they well written, like your book, but they have verifiable facts and beautifully documented evidence in them.
Jesus’ words in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” When first encountered, this might not seem to be a claim to be God. However, when we look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement, “For a good work we stone thee not; replied the Jews, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.” (John 10:33). Now we see an actual claim. The Jews understood Jesus’ statement to be a claim to be God. In the following verses, Jesus never corrects the Jews by saying, “I did not claim to be God.” That indicates Jesus was truly saying He was God by declaring, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30).
John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, "I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. " Again, in response, the Jews take up stones in an attempt to stone Jesus (John 8:59). Why would the Jews want to stone Jesus if He hadn’t said something they believed to be blasphemous, namely, a claim to be God? John repeatedly tells us of the Lord's connection to "I Am". See John: 4:26, 8:24, 8:28, 8:58,and 13:19. The Apostle Paul tells us that Jesus "..is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visi...

(Colossians 1:15-17)
John 1:1 says that “the Word was God.” John 1:14 says that “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us” This clearly indicates that Jesus is God in the flesh. Acts 20:28 tells us, "...Be shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood." Who bought the church with His own blood? Jesus Christ. Acts 20:28 declares that God purchased the church with His own blood. Therefore, Jesus is God!
