When you go outside on a clear night and look up at the canopy of stars and planets, who made them?

Question

I respect the beliefs of agnostics and atheists. It is your right as a human thinker to perceive the physical world the way you perceive it.
I have an atheistic relative. This relative is a fine person and contributes to the welfare of other human beings. I deeply love this relative. I have a relative who is an agnostic. This relative is highly intelligent and works in a field that benefits humanity. I love and respect this relative. I would love to talk with you!

Respectfully and Warmly,
Lady Constance Rose

Answer 1

Read an astrophysics book for starters. Astrophysics can be hard going and very complex though, hence my lack of desire to attempt to put a simplified version of it down here!

Nicely non-antagonizing question btw, thanks!

:)

Answer 2

I prefer to think of the world as created by the big bang because then life is only what you make it and not what someone tells you it should be. I find it easier to be myself when the world around me is nothing more than millions upon millions of tiny atoms. I also find that I live more in the present than I would if I was constantly trying to justify myself to a higher being. Just my opinion though, most of my family is Christian but we have differing views but we respect eachother.

Answer 3

Dear Lady Constance Rose,
I believe that God made the heavens and the earth. If you have a bible look at Genesis 1:1 it states it right there for you.

Answer 4

Here is what one of the most well know agnostics stated concerning the human eye...
Charles Darwin acknowledged the inadequacy of evolution when he wrote,
To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree. (Darwin 1872)

That said, I will next qoute from God's Word...

John 1
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Answer 5

It isn't so much who made them as what made them. And all planets are, all we are, is stardust, or radioactive waste as some say.

The stars are just big balls of gas that pool together through gravity, which then through gravity to make our galaxies.

But my whole point is, is that it doesnt take any miraculous explanation to describe the universes existence, but we should all marvel at its beauty.

Both from afar and what we have right here.

Answer 6

Divine Creator

Answer 7

Saying God is not going to be a satisfactory answer as you and I have not seen nor experienced God, then is it a figment of our imagination that this is what we percieve and the unexplained can be explained by saying 'God' created it.
All that we see and experience in this universe is due to some sublime, some cognizant knowledge .....

Answer 8

GOD!

I respect everybody in this wonderful world he created. If God had not created this world we would not have agnostics and atheists. God Bless Them All!

Answer 9

To me, that is one of the sights in our world that makes it obvious that God is out there. Who else and how else could such a sight have been created? When I look in the skies at night God feels closer than ever.

Answer 10

The randomness of the collisions of meteors and chemical imbalances made them, with a bit of help from the magic hand of the Lord.

Answer 11

God

Genesis 1-14
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15-And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
