I wonder, would you be fool enough to argue with Him?

I would ask God more pertinent questions... Like, what will be my purpose for the rest of eternity? Why is the universe so huge? Is there truly no hope for those souls in Hell? Does Satan truly rule down there, or is he just another victim of his own arrogance?

I would not argue, but if HE could not produce a valid form of identification, then I'd need to see a couple of undeniable miracles performed, before I started with "big why" questions. There have been many pretenders.

As for questions in the here and now....The Stoics have one that has been paraphrased...

If you could have been contacted and conversed with by a governing being (call it an angel) before you were born and the conversation went:

Angel
Hey unborn being that could be named Tony! Would you like to be born and brought to life for a few decades, enveloped in human form?

Unborn Tony
Yes I would. But a few decades is not enough. I want to live forever.

Angel
Sorry Unborn Tony...but that is not on the table. The offer is a few decades or remain non-existent. Do you want to take the offer?

Unborn Tony....?

PS..
The dinosaurs is a very legit question to ask when you start bringing up bronze age floods and the creation of the universe timelines.
