How did the world come into existence?

Answer 1

Just spend a few minutes and read Genesis 1. It clearly states that God created it.

Answer 2

hahaha, it's great to see so many people can just recite blindly without having to justify or think about what they are saying. The world came into existance through dust, gas and other particulate being pulled together by gravity (every atom has it's own gravitational field). This dust and gas came from the emissions of our star and other stars caught in orbit around our star. large masses of matter formed and became the planets. No magic, no mysticism, no blindly reciting book passages. That's the tested, physically correct and true way planets form.

Answer 3

10. The Earth quakes and the heavens rattle; the beasts of nature flock together and the nations of men flock apart; volcanoes usher up heat while elsewhere water becomes ice and melts; and then on other days it just rains. 11. Indeed do many things come to pass.

Answer 4

Answer 5

This partially depends on how you interprate the words "world" and "existence". The term "existence" means to 'stand out'. So, are you asking how the world came to be known, that is, how the world came to be discovered by us? It is a very interesting question, but I think you have to ask yourself that question more than anyone else, since it has to do with how you came to discover the world. Still, existential philosophy might be of some aid; you could consult with Heidegger's "Being and Time" for some answers on that.
If it sounds like I'm dodging the question, which it might, it is because I have chosen to view the world in such a way as to account for my own participation in it. I do not think the world happens apart from those who experience it. Especially since we are in reality present within the world. To subract the seer's agency within the world is to deny a very essential aspect of reality; it is like science without the scientist. So, the existence of the world must be understood to be a reflection of our participation in an event that takes place before we were there to experience it, and as such, is probably incomprehensible.
People will give explanations, but that does not mean they understand, for it is not the sort of experience that can, even in principle be had. The world must exist for us to experience it. So, experiences are going to be limited to those kinds of things that are already there. So, to talk about things prior to existence, is to talk in such a way as cannot be properly comprehended, except by reference to some other, already existing thing. For example, a mother and father are not actually that until they have a child, but they do exist prior to the child. So, to talk about a child meaningfully, we must assume the existence of parents, even if that 'parent' is a test tube. But to talk about what existed before everything (the world is an all inclusive term, save perhaps for ourselves who are distinctly witness to it) existed, is to talk non-sense. "How" means "from what principle/process did the world come into existence". But if principles are part of the world, (since everything is part of the world), it would be like asking how does a principle create itself? There are many paradoxes in asking this question, which I suspect will lead to greater confusion, rather than to greater clarity.
Nonetheless, I believe it can be meaningful to speak about the creation of a temporary world from a permanent or eternal world. The eternal world provides the principles from which any temporary world might be derived. We live in a temporary world, and so this world might have come into existence due to its being founded upon some eternal state. This might sound to some like new-age pseudoscience, but it is in fact based upon some rather strong intuitions which are supported even in contemporary courses on logic. I won't go into the details presently, but I will say that the above views are surprisingly rational when seen in the proper light.

Answer 6

God made the Earth. " In the BeginningGod created the heavans and the Earth. Now the Earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the spirit ofGod was hovering over the waters. So God said let there be light! He saw it was good and so he seperated the dark from light and called it 'day' and 'night'." That is how light came into exsistense. the others came in the order:

Let there be a sky. And God saw it was good.
let there be land. and God saw that is was good.
Let land produce vegetation ( trees, plants, seed-bareing plants ect...) and God saw it was good.
let there be seasons. And God saw it was good.
let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth. And God saw it was good.
Let the Land produce living creatures according to there kinds. (species). And God saw it was good.
Then God said, "Let us make man in our own image, in our likeness, and let them rule over all the creatures and air. The man he created had the name of Adam. Adam got lonley, so he put him into a deep sleep, and took a rib from him and created a woman named Eve.

Answer 7

our body's were spirits in the pre-existence and

god made the world 2 test us. so he build the world in 7 days time & on the 7th day he rested.
that is why us mormons stay home on Sunday.
it did not happen from a bang!

Answer 8

God in His omnipotence spoke it into existence. Read Genesis chapters 1 and 2.

Answer 9

God said "Bang" and a subcommittee put it to a vote. They after countless hours (hours being uncountable as they hadn't been invented yet) of deliberation decided it would probably be really funny to watch. So then with approval from the Deity subcommittee on creation God went ahead with his experiment. In other words no one knows.

Answer 10

I believe God Created the Heaven and the Earth as well as everything else in the universe. There are many different views on the subject and many different ways to look at it but if you want the real truth you must be willing to open your mind and study all of the resources for yourself and then choose what you believe.

The Bible states in Genesis 1: 1
1 ¶ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
and then contiunes the whole chapter and explained through the next few chapters.

The speculation and arguement about the time it took for the creation comes from the following scripture and is taken literally which I think cannot be done if we are to understand what really happened.

The Bible states in Psalms chapter 90 verse 4
Ps 90:4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. (NKJV)

This is where the modern statement comes from that says with God a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day. To see what the context is you have to see the entire thought of the person which wrote it to begin with so I am going to include the entire chapter. This was written by Moses and is as follows:

Psalms Chapter 90
1 <> Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
3 You turn man to destruction, And say, "Return, O children of men."
4 For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night.
5 You carry them away like a flood; They are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up:
6 In the morning it flourishes and grows up; In the evening it is cut down and withers.
7 For we have been consumed by Your anger, And by Your wrath we are terrified.
8 You have set our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.
9 For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; We finish our years like a sigh.
10 The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
12 So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13 Return, O LORD! How long? And have compassion on Your servants.
14 Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
15 Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, The years in which we have seen evil.
16 Let Your work appear to Your servants, And Your glory to their children.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.
(NKJV)

I believe that the 7 thousand year life of the earth begins from the time of the creation of the man Adam which was on the 6th day and that day was many thousands of years long as was the time of the 7th day when God rested. The first five days instead of being in years as is speculated by most creationists was instead a period of more like a billion years for each day which would give us the life of the earth still below what Evolutionists believe it to be.

Like I said earlier, you have to study this for yourself and make your own decision as to what you wish to believe. The important thing is not how long it took to make the earth but what are you going to do with the life which has been given to you? Are you going to waste it or are you going to use it to Glorify our Creator? The choice is yours what you will do, this is what separates us from the animals.

I hope this helps some

Answer 11

In as much as I was not around to see how everything came into being (and neither were you),I say, "I don't know ..... YET!" To assume that some god, my less than intellectual ancestors made up, instantaneously barfed the universe into being, is absurd
