Consider the following Scriptures

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

Psalm 100:3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Hebrews 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

Obviously, the Bible puts great emphasis on the God of the Bible being the creator of the universe, and with good reason, for if the God of the Bible did not create the universe, then his enforcement of rules of his own choosing is no more legitimate than the enforcement of rules that are mandated by any other self-proclaimed dictator of the universe.

Why do Christians limit creative ability to the God of the Bible? Who knows how many advanced aliens there might be who have similar abilities? How does one tell the difference between a God and an advanced alien? If a jet plane had flown over Jerusalem in 75 A.D., surely the majority of Christians would have believed that the jet plane had supernatural origins, and they would have been wrong.

I request that Christians answer the following question:

Why do you believe that the God of the Bible created the universe?

It is my position that the authority of the Bible depends completely upon the claim that God created the universe, and since the claim is completely non-verifiable by any tangible means, the Bible does not have any legitimate authority whatsoever.

This seems to be identical to The Resurrection is Irrelevant so I will close this and refer readers to that thread.
