Killing all the males, which would include the male babies, was a command of God. And the heads of the people would include baby people.A song of the Israelites against Edom and the Babylonians who had persecuted her (Israel). It sings of God's wrath against the enemies of His chosen. It's not a command for Christians under the New Covenant.
Nevertheless, you change the subject of the OP -- that is, an avowed atheist believes in the possibility of God.
Did you ever get around to finding evidence of energy creating a universe? I'm still waiting.
However it is an example from the bible where it is not wrong to kill babies.
actually no....it would be an example of an Israelite king extremely angry at the Babylonians.....that verse isn't the voice of God speaking....its the voice of someone entreating God to exact revenge on his enemies.....
Num 31: 7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
Nu 25:4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
