Question

Brian G asked this question
I have a question for him if something can not exist without God creating it then how does God exist?

"because he does. he always has existed, and he always will exist."- Bryan G
okay bryan then why cant that be true of the whole universe?

Answer 1

Order doesn't come out of chaos. In other words, a big chaotic bang didn't create the complex human being and the world with all its amazing attributes. So, we know something created us. Either an "accident" (the big bang) or an intentional act by someone/something ("Creator"). And honestly, which makes more sense? I find it irrational to believe that an explosion of gases in outerspace could produce human beings and animals and even something like a snowflake.

Answer 2

Before God created man, God had to create what is finite. God is infinite and this will never fully be comprehended by man.

God created a sun that looks much like our sun in the natural world only our sun is chemical and not spiritual.

From the spiritual sun (that rains on the just and unjust - for eveyone good or evil has life from God) were all things finite made.

That Jesus Christ is in the center of this sun, see the Doctrine of the New Jerusalem by Emanuel Swedenborg.

Answer 3

Names for God in philosophy include 'Uncaused Cause', and 'Unmoved Mover', God is Being. We have being. We cannot create. We only re-arrange what already exists. We know we did not create ourselves. Anything we experience is always less than it's source, so only a Creator God could create out of nothing even if it was done 'instantly' or stepwise as per theories of evolution. They only give a possible explanation for how God may have created, such as the 'Big Bang' or 'Swirling Cloud' theories. Only God could have such knowledge power and Being.

Answer 4

Here you mostly will get the answer..."just because" failsafe response in place of...well nobody really knows.
If god does exist we will know soon enough. If not, we will know that as well.
In philosiphy once you call something "nothing", it becomes something even if it never existed before. ex: what was that?...oh, nuthin.
Ponder yourselves this though...one of the 10 commandments states.."thou shall have no other gods before me"
That right there proves the existance of other gods..just that the christian god dosent want any others placed before him.
So what happened to the other gods and how are they today worshipped?

Answer 5

Well...we exist because of God created us and he exists scientist don't sit and thing of who made the apes and stuff some one would have had to make them...and it all comes back to creation...scientists just want a scientifical reason for things but...if God did not exist then we would not...

Answer 6

The question to most atheist can come all the way down to What came first, the chicken or the egg.

They assume evolution did this all on it's own.

They also assume that if they don't believe then they do not have to fear what may come in store for them.

What they don't know is that they will parish in Hell because they refuse to listen to God and will ONLY listen to Lucifer

Answer 7

That is the question creationists cannot answer and it negates their entire argument.

Babies evolve out of food & water, they are conclusive proof evolution is a fact. The universe has always existed. The universe is "life."

Answer 8

That's the whole idea of God i guess... that he creates things, not be created. or else how could the universe be controlled or organized the way it is if it wasnt for The One, that is God, to be in charge! ;)

Answer 9

when they "something" as in "something cannot exist without" that something is reffered to as earthly matter. God doesn't have a body therefore God is not subject to the laws of creation.

Answer 10

Good Question?? but I know God created me
