Recently, while I was pondering on different ways that one can counter a Creationists' arguments, I came across one inherent contradiction in their beliefs. I never came across any argument from this perspective in any of the debates so far, so I would like to share it.
Consider the following two statements, which any general Creationist would believe:
1. There has to be a creator for every existing thing, so there must be a creator for the Universe as well.
2. Humans who commit sins go to hell.
Now, consider the following scenario:
A person X murders a person Y.
If one asks: why did X murder Y?
The answer will be: Obviously because a thought occurred in the mind of X to kill Y.
Here is the catch:
If one considers that the thought came out of the brain which was created by the God, then God should take the responsibility for the actions of X, so he/she should not be held responsible for his/her sins and it is not fair to send the person to Hell.
On the other hand, if we agree that the action was an act of "Free Will", then we are talking of a "thought" that was created on its own without any external interference. If one agrees to this logic, then one should also agree to the possibility that Universe was created on its own and it needed no outsider for its creation.
I would like to see how a Creationist would argue against it.
