Do you believe in creation or that everything springs from one whole.?

Question

when I say one whole i mean everything. you, me, every person in the world, the animals, the trees, plants, the entire world and the universe itself. If none of these what do you believe? I want to look for all possibilities. THANK YOU

Explain why. Give this question some deep thought. NOt just some stupid ignorant answer. (not to be mean)

Answer 1

My opinion is this:

It really does not matter where everything came from. What matters is the current state of things.

Things do evolve. We have seen this in the pepper moths of England during the Industrial Revolution. (Their wings turned darker to blend in with the soot.)

So far, nobody has seen God create anything out of thin air.

Science is the best explanation for the things happening around us and can even be used to predict the results of what is happening.

Answer 2

The universe is energy. That energy forms into packets of energy we call "matter."

Nothing was created, it has always existed in some form. And is most definitely "one whole" and that "one whole" is energy in its purest form.

What we perceive as objects, sun, stars, planets, earth, plants, trees, animals, etc. are nothing but energy in various shapes and sizes. But underneath, it is all the same. On a sub-atomic level, humans and rocks (or anything else) are the same thing.

Further Creative Activities Involving Earth. Genesis chapter 1 through chapter 2, verse 3, after telling about the creation of the material heavens and earth (Ge 1:1, 2), provides an outline of further creative activities on the earth. Chapter 2 of Genesis, from verse 5 onward, is a parallel account that takes up at a point in the third “day,” after dry land appeared but before land plants were created. It supplies details not furnished in the broad outline found in Genesis chapter 1. The inspired Record tells of six creative periods called “days,” and of a seventh period or “seventh day” in which time God desisted from earthly creative works and proceeded to rest. (Ge 2:1-3) While the Genesis account of creative activity relating to the earth does not set forth detailed botanical and zoological distinctions such as those current today, the terms employed therein adequately cover the major divisions of life and show that these were created and made so that they reproduce only according to their respective “kinds.”—Ge 1:11, 12, 21, 24, 25; see KIND.

The following chart sets forth God’s creative activities during the six “days” outlined in Genesis.

EARTHLY CREATIVE WORKS OF JEHOVAH

Day No. Creative Works Texts

1 Light; division between day and night Ge 1:3-5

2 Expanse, a division between waters
beneath the expanse and waters above it Ge 1:6-8

3 Dry land; vegetation Ge 1:9-13

4 Heavenly luminaries become discernible
from earth Ge 1:14-19

5 Aquatic souls and flying creatures Ge 1:20-23

6 Land animals; man Ge 1:24-31

Length of Creative Days. The Bible does not specify the length of each of the creative periods. Yet all six of them have ended, it being said with respect to the sixth day (as in the case of each of the preceding five days): “And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a sixth day.” (Ge 1:31) However, this statement is not made regarding the seventh day, on which God proceeded to rest, indicating that it continued. (Ge 2:1-3) Also, more than 4,000 years after the seventh day, or God’s rest day, commenced, Paul indicated that it was still in progress. At Hebrews 4:1-11 he referred to the earlier words of David (Ps 95:7, 8, 11) and to Genesis 2:2 and urged: “Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest.” By the apostle’s time, the seventh day had been continuing for thousands of years and had not yet ended. The Thousand Year Reign of Jesus Christ, who is Scripturally identified as “Lord of the sabbath” (Mt 12:8), is evidently part of the great sabbath, God’s rest day. (Re 20:1-6) This would indicate the passing of thousands of years from the commencement of God’s rest day to its end. The week of days set forth at Genesis 1:3 to 2:3, the last of which is a sabbath, seems to parallel the week into which the Israelites divided their time, observing a sabbath on the seventh day thereof, in keeping with the divine will. (Ex 20:8-11) And, since the seventh day has been continuing for thousands of years, it may reasonably be concluded that each of the six creative periods, or days, was at least thousands of years in length.

That a day can be longer than 24 hours is indicated by Genesis 2:4, which speaks of all the creative periods as one “day.” Also indicative of this is Peter’s inspired observation that “one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.” (2Pe 3:8) Ascribing not just 24 hours but a longer period of time, thousands of years, to each of the creative days better harmonizes with the evidence found in the earth itself.

Answer 4

The universe is so intricate and complex that it is mind bogalling for me to believe that it coincidentally sprung from nothing. To me it shows design and thus a designer.

Answer 5

There is an intelligent consicousness in all life.
