Wow! You are a poster-child for why Christianity holds people back and keeps them ignorant.
Do you not see that your post is a celebration of ignorance? You freely admit that you are unclear about the most basic things even of your own faith, and yet you base your entire world-view on it and come here to proclaim it. God has no appearance because he is uncreated? You just made that up on the spot - it makes not a shred of sense! You show your ignorance of basic Biology, Physics, History, Archeology, Chemistry, Geology and even Logic - but in stead of looking into these things and trying to understand, you shunt God in the way so you don't have to.
Your apologetics make little sense either - it is the equivalent of saying "My daddy is the strongest man in the world - he just doesn't feel like lifting up that house right now!" In my opinion, you are making your God out to be a dysfunctional parent.
If human beings were so insignificant as to not warrant any attention, then why is he so damn interested in what people do with their private parts? All that begging and pleading for food, water, safety and health is nothing to him, but a bit of nooky when you are not married or - GOD forbid! - a spot of trouserlove and he zooms in like a laser? What complete and utter twaddle!
But of course all this is not the case - it is apologetics. It is stuff that people made up to explain why there is not a single solitary shred of evidence of the existence of God! And you are parroting these people without thinking it through.
The flood was real? Magic water flew in from space and was magically flown out again? What are you, 6? Did God come back afters to fix the ice-core samples, erase all the geological evidence and magically keep all those animals alive and re-populate their gene-pools so they did not all die out from inbreeding too? Where is the genetic bottle-neck in EVERY species? Why do we see evidence of there being lots and lots of individuals in stead? Why do the ice-core samples not show a huge blip? Did God not only hide the evidence, but but contradictory evidence in its place? This is pure madness!
The Earth was not created in seven days. It took a lot longer than that for the gases and debris to coalesce. Also, the magma came later as it formed when the increasing pressure of all this stuff getting denser and denser increased. Geophysics can be added to the long list of things you know nothing about.
Your reasons for believing are: "because I do, because I do, because I do, Because I know next to nothing about the world and I want a simple explanation written in big letters that makes it OK for me to be ignorant and Because I enjoy it".
The only valid reason is the last one. I am glad you enjoy your faith, and I certainly have no interest in trying to deconvert you. But by golly is it holding you back, and it is making you sound like a buffoon. But you have to understand - you have no
rational reason to suppose God exists. You believe because of an
irrational leap of faith. If this faith gives you joy, strength and pride then this is surely a good thing.
BUT
You cannot make assertions about reality based on your faith alone. You must also support it with a rational reason. To not do so is madness - literally.
And please, please please stay in school. Try to look outside of this narrow new testament framework you have there. There is a huge wealth of knowledge out there, and it is absolutely fascinating and beautiful. You can understand all this stuff, you don't need to write "God did it by magic!" across it in crayon. Try to let your science teacher teach you real science and don't interrupt him with your mythological stories. Right now, your religion is keeping you ignorant. There is no reason or excuse for this.
