Creation of this world?
84725
God created us in his image. If you want to see God, look around. His handiwork is all around you. He sent preachers to us so we may better understand God. It's like learning about your friend so you can become their best friend. God wants to be soooo close to us. He loves us that much. Getting closer to God is up to you. Preachers won't do it for you. It's like training for a sport. You need to practice to get good. You need to pray and read the bible in devotions to get closer to God. Praying is you talking to God, and reading the Bible is him talking to you. The Bible is God's own words. We should know the words of our creator. Therefore, we should read the bible.\nHope this helped,\n~Me

I don't see any reason why God couldn't have created a whole bunch of other worlds and put beings of some sort on them. Just because it isn't in the Bible doesn't mean anything. I mean, why should some other world we may never even encounter affect the way we're supposed to do things? If they exist, they've presumably got their own version of the Bible and other holy books.

This sort of thinking should be based on observation. You can come up with any theory you like, but if it does not explain what is seen it is useless.\n\nOn this basis:\n\n1. the universe (and implcitly nature) had a beginning, about 13.7 billion years ago\n2. that beginning did not require a creator (though you may choose to believe in one - you just won't find him experimentally)

In places like the book of Job it talks about beings coming together rep's of other worlds and in the Bible there are places where it gives the name world as plurl, worldS, God made planets for other beings to live on and Yes I do believe.

No, not obvious.  Human Beings are unique creations.  \nIf you were to agree with Creationists like me, you would be of the belief that Human Beings are created in the image of God and that we are not related to other creatures (especially since we are supposed to have dominion over the creatures of the earth).  \n\nHope that helps.

Would you like to see a real picture that was recently made of the beginning of the Universe?\n\nhttp://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/03/0217/

I think we have first the abiity to choose. What good would it do to have options if we didn't know what to do with them? And yes, I think things need a "reference point" so to speak in order to "exist." Yet when God created the world He created everything else before he created man. Maybe this question is not as simple as it seemed when I first read it. Oh dear.

I agree that the Universe was created by a higher being. I don't agree that said being created man at all. However, I do think that by becoming aware of ourselves and simply believing in said being's existence that said being is now aware of us. I don't believe that God/Diety/whatever you want to call it really gives a damn what we do. Anyway...I think that all beings, sentient or otherwise, that exist in the Universe are a result of the divine and since the divine makes no mistakes we are as we were meant to be. Flawed but still here. Still trying to find the meaning of it all.

No. The world was not created 5000 years ago by a supreme being. It evolved into what we see around us through billions of years of change commonly referred to as evolution.

no i dont think so. i think is a bunch of hooey. and it also depends on what you believe. how was the universe formed. if you know that you can take that and use it to see what you think about it

Yes, how could it be possible that we are the only planet that is positioned currently and close enough to a star in the entire universe?  Plus on a more spiritual aspect there is scripture upon the matter... "And by the word of my power, have I created them, which is mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of grace and truth.  And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten."

You make some good points. I think it is like circular creationism. Humans create god and in return god creates humans. Simple. Reality creates fiction and in return fiction creates reality. Just look at how many religions there are in the world. Why? Because every culture imagines god(s) differently.

Human creation in the past, was something beautiful, a being full of life, joy and pride. Even created by nature or God. Now, we are nothing but something dark and without souls, fighting each other for the greed that consumes all. In time, our greed inside, will be the end of us and of our beautiful planet...

I think so...why would the Lord create this beautiful planet to be all alone? We "Earthlings" are social creatures..therefore it would only be logical for there to be other life.

If seems that if God was required to create a complex world, than it would require an even more complex being to have created the complexity of God.  Would this be God's God?\n\nI do not see that using God as an explanation for the inherent complexity of the world resolves the issue at all; it simply seems to remove the question to a level where people feel more comfortable admiting that they do not know.  It is much more difficult to admit one does not understand why the natural universe, which they can see and feel and touch, exists, but much easier to admit that they don't know how God came to exist.\n\nSo the question is very good both philosophically, theologically and psychologically.\n\nAnother question you may wish to ask is: If God created heaven, where was He before such a creation?
