Re: [asa] Ray Comfort vs. Dawkins

John:

I have no idea who Ray Comfort is, but I am just wondering.
What God does Ray Comfort believe in (or seem to believe in) that you
don't believe?

For example, are you saying that it would be impossible (or highly
unlikely) that the God you believe in would create the world in Six
Days?
Or to be more specific, the God you believe in could not possibly act in
such a way that man's rational beliefs could be radically in error?

Anyway, just wondering.
