How can there be a creator without creation?

And on the third day, Leonardo Da Vinci flew through the air with the greatest of ease, and rained fireballs from the sky upon the invaders. And then, after a nice cup of tea and a bun, he fashioned the great barrier reef from a sock and yesterday's avocado.Now, did Leonardo make the Mona Lisa or not?

My point is that writing wrong fiction about a real person has no impact on whether that person is real or not; or whether they actually made what they really made or not.Similarly, that a story about God is false provides no meaningful information about the reality of God.

Okay, I see your point more clearly now.It seems to me that it's a question of semantics. Does the fact* that the genesis myth is false prove that God-who-created-the-universe-like-what-it-says-in-genesis doesn't exist? Yeah, I guess it does. But it doesn't prove that God-who-didn't-make-the-universe-like-that doesn't. And when someone says that genesis being myth being false doesn't disprove God they're talking about the second of those gods, not the first.* - unlike Huntard I'm quite comfortable describing the genesis myth as proven false.

Woah there, nelly, isn't this you conceeding your point? No-one in this thread has argued for God's existence, only that the invalidity of the Genesis story doesn't mean he doesn't exist. These are different issues.----As a complete aside: where abouts in Norwich do you live, Tuffers? I grew up near there, and did my GCSEs and A-Levels at Eaton CNS.
