How do y'all think this world was brought about?

oh… and elements have always been around. there is no need to actually create these things. everthing is made out of an element. an elemental composition is what created big bang, due to heat and everything…

Least thats what I think.

hmm thats a good question… I’ve wondered about that too. I think that theory is a good one and very possible. or maybe life on another planet died out or something and God came to Earth and started a new life who knows. thats a great question

hmm im afraid I find it really hard to believe that god created all of this because as you said, who created him? I think the big bang theory is what I would say is most likely but I still wonder and me and my dad have hour long discussions about it often XD

big bang theory.. but weren’t there stuff.. so what made that stuff?! uugh. I hope we all find out once we have died.]:

Lol to be honest I’m just like you, I don’t know. All this hurts my head.

gee, thanks. and I have watched the knowing but I knew about this way before and the knowing only helped.

but gosh! you guuys are fast in responding! (:

I’m not religous, I mean I don’t want to spend time learning all these dif things and chooseing one, anyways, all this stuff confuses me also, thats why I don’t want to have to think about it, if you do think about it, if it was anything else you most likely wouldnt believe iti mean someone had to write the bible and back then there were no hosbitols or anything, so who knows maybe its true (I do doubt it, but im not going to try to change your mind) or maybe it was some crazy guy, no one knows… I think it was meant to be that way if anything was meant to be a certain way…

reminds me of the Knowing. If you’ve watched that movie you’d get a new outlook on the whole perception. I mean I don’t believe that there are angelic aliens out there who witness and know what going on in the world, but it give you a complete new option. I thought it was a silly yet creative way to express themselves.

and I myself believe in the big bang theory. Athiest all the way.

Me2…I’m just like u…I find all this very mindboggling

freefromself, what am I suppose to do with this? ‘reasonable truth’? If it is based on reason, then there must be something to base that reason on? If you make a claim that there are fossils that TOTALLY negate evolutionary theories, then it is up to you to provide the evidence of them.

Regardless of the mechanism, evolution has occurred. The fossil records are quite clear. We have observed that at the lowest strata of the earth’s crust there is no evidence of life at all. As you move closer to the surface the first single cell organisms are found, and the closer we get to the the surface the more complex they become. This is fact, not theory. They know exactly the chronolgy of life development on this planet. What other explanation beside evolution of simple life to more complex life could there be, other than some supernatural force (satan) planting the evidence there to trick us? If you want to believe that, fine. But don’t claim it is based on reason..

ya im with you. I think up of many random ideas as to how we possibly got here. but the truth is,we probably will never find out. and frankly I dont think it would be good to find out. like waht if it was found out that the earth and humans were actually created by the whole Big Bang thing and Evolution.? that would throw every religions belief down the drain. that would cause global chaos the whole god creating earth and man thing, would all have been proven wrong. what happens then. but I doubt we’ll learn anything of that sort in our life time. I personally believe in the whole scientific stuff, with all the Big bang and Evolution and such. its just hard to believe that “god” created absolutley everything. ya. so thats what I think. Good question:)

The earth and solar system were created from the cosmic material following the big bang. Life eventually began, and evolved into the teeming biological mix we have now.

There are fossils that totally negate evolution theory.

Care to give us the source for this claim? The fact that evolution occurs is indesputable. How it happens is the theory, not THAT it happens.

I dont need to give you a source Jimahl, only the reasonable truth that your evolution theory does not hold water.

If you believe a certain species of fish through some kind of evolution has changed colors or shape in order not to be eaten by its predator when infact if this were entirely true the orignal un-evolved fish would have been instinct because it did not have this mechanism to begin with.

God has no beginning and no end. No one had to make God; He has always been. It is immensely difficult to wrap your brain around this because it seems so foolish and impossible to us humans. But no matter how hard this is to understand, I believe it because it is what the Bible says. As a Christian, I view the Bible as a precious gift from God that is not to be ignored.

It is less rational to believe in the “big Bang” theory, than to believe in a creative inteligence theory. God is infinite. he does not need time. He does not have a beginning or an end and you cannot understand him because you are not equipped. I dont buy macro-evolution like my good friend Jimahl. It does not pencil out. There are fossils that totally negate evolution theory. Think about it. One instant in time - BANG! From no where, no REASON?

I believe in God. I believe in intelligent design. I beieve in the words of Genesis “In the beginning God. . . “

our ancient ancestors didn’t have scientific abilities for inquiry so they came up with mythology to explain their origins and phenomena they didn’t understand.

Our ancestors didn’t have as much scientific abilities as people today. But as far as the Bible neither is it a mythology nor was it cooked up by someone. Our ancestors had enough abilities to record with great accuracy what they heard and saw and what was revealed to them by God.

A star is born from an interstellar cloud of gas that contracts under its own gravity, causing heat and pressure till coalescing in a sphere shape.

The question here is how we came about. This however is only a theory and has not been observed.

Earth formed out of the accretion of matter that revolved around the sun after it’s formation.

Again no one observed how the earth had formed. It is not correct to make such positive statements as this when what is being stated is only a theory.

The earlier conditions of the young Earth allowed for simple organisms to develope that evolved and adapted into more complex creatures over millions of years.

Again another theory. To days people have scientific abilities for inquiry and so they came up with what can be called modern mythology.

1. How did we come about?

God created us.

2. Who created him?

No one. God is outside of time. Time was created when God created this universe (time, space and matter). Therefore GOD DID NOT HAVE A BEGINNING.

3. The Big Bang

Many people have vouched for the Big bang as what created the Big bang. Well they have to answer this following questions then:

What created the bib bang?

wnabherpatoligist, actually gravity is a theory. It has yet to be dis-proven, and is generally accepted as fact, but it is still considered a theory. But sceintific theories are not just guesses. A hypothesis becomes theory once it has past numerous tests, peer reviews, and there is a consensus on its validity. Many people don’t understand the concept of a scientific theory. If gets to that point, it is generally accepted as fact.

I beleave in the organic soup theory that their were 2 major bodies of mass(always bin here don’t know how they got im an athiest I don’t belave god b/c howd he get here) colided with one another and everything crumbles and atoms were smashed and thats how the univers grows today on a smaller scale when planets colider and suns implode the univer gets a lil bigger lol an jimahl gravity isnt a theory its proven that why you wiegh less on the moon and more on mars

What created the bib bang?

No one. The Big Bang is outside of time. Time was created when The Big Bang created this universe (time, space and matter). Therefore The Big Bang DID NOT HAVE A BEGINNING.

…see? I can make up bullshit answers TOO.

The overwhelming evidence from fossil records has absolutely been tested, and confirmed.

The evidence from fossils have tested and confirmed what? Macro Evolution? There are scientific facts that shows that macro evolution is not possible?

Star and planet formation is not only a theory, but because of the time scales involved it is a scientific theory but that doesn’t make it any less of a valid science.

Because of the time it takes to occur, what we can do is infer from the evidence and these events in different stages.

-Star formation and phases preceding star birth have been observed

-Planetary disks revolving around stars have been observed

-Planetary disks beginning to accrete have been observed

-Planetesimals have been observed in planetary disks (I.e Fomalhaut b)

-Planets have been discovered revolving around other stars

Of course you say it is no use, because your arguments can’t stand up to basic logic. The overwhelming evidence from fossil records has absolutely been tested, and confirmed. You have no idea what you are talking about. And the movement of galaxies away from a central point has been observed and tested. The concept of gravity and singularities has been observed. There is actual evidence of these things. There is nothing supporting your mideveil view of our origins except an anceint text written by uneducated (by today’s standard) men.

Will lets see.I’ve ponder over that question aswell,what I have come to that you mentioned who created GOD?,maybe god is the beginning of the meaning of beginning I know it’s complex I think about questions like this one aswell. You know it’s amazing that Humans are able to even know any of these questions. One day we will all know the answers but untill then you our on the right track,yes something created everything we know. Keep the Faith and go yo Church which by the way shows respect to Jesus and study the Bible it will keep you out of trouble.

Just remember their is a reason why we are here just we have reasons for the things we do and your right something had to create the so called gases that created the universe,have you ever tried looking up philosophy it might open other doors.

mreow big bang yes, or even the claps theory(2 parallel universes colliding to make this one) though those were supposedly the beginning of this universe, space has always been. Things as always been in existence without an beginning or end.

You either to accept that there is infinite regression of creation in some form, or accept that something exists uncreated.

Religious people will tend to say god created it, and accept that God just exists uncreated. Secular people tend to say reality simply exists uncreated…you know, eliminate the middle man.

There is no use taking to you jimahl but just for everyone else’s sake Evolution has not been tested and cannot be. Similarly Big bang also has the same status.

God cannot be proven, not tested, the only EVIDENCE that you have of him is your belief. Elements of evolution has been proven.

The question here was how did we come about. Neither big bang nor evolution is the answer. We Christians believe in God. He made us and that’s how we are here.

Exactly YOU BELIEVE, therefore it is YOUR reality, but not necessarily some one else’s reality. God cannot be proven and everything has to have a beginning including your god, he cannot just be there all of a sudden from nothing. And until that can be explained, I won’t believe, similarly as I don’t believe 100% in macro evolution.

Oh and for once in your life READ, jimahl’s answers are good.

Good question mrawr, our ancient ancestors didn’t have scientific abilities for inquiry so they came up with mythology to explain their origins and phenomena they didn’t understand.

Since then we have inquired extensive knowledge about the world and universe and are able to explain it through science.

A star is born from an interstellar cloud of gas that contracts under its own gravity, causing heat and pressure till coalescing in a sphere shape. The process leaves access gas that condenses and revolves around the star, and if not absorbed will give rise to solar systems.

Earth formed out of the accretion of matter that revolved around the sun after it’s formation. As the earth collected enough debris, till it became large enough to have its gravitational force pull it into a sphere, it became a planet. How the earth got to where it is today is a subject of geology.

The earlier conditions of the young Earth allowed for simple organisms to develope that evolved and adapted into more complex creatures over millions of years.

eternallymisinformed, didn’t you have enough of this subject already? Yes it is ‘only a theory’. So is gravity. As has been explained to you already, a scientific hypothosis only becomes a theory when it has been tested, re-tested, re-tested again, peer-reveiwed, and has an overwhelming consensus in favor of. And you want us to compare that method to an ancient text written by superstitious men.

Give it up already, you are embarassing yourself.

There is no use taking to you jimahl but just for everyone else’s sake Evolution has not been tested and cannot be. Similarly Big bang also has the same status.

The question here was how did we come about. Neither big bang nor evolution is the answer. We Christians believe in God. He made us and that’s how we are here.
