i'm a christian and i like to think i have faith in god and the bible, but now and again i wonder why god botherd in the first place? he knew exactly what would happen even befor he created us, so it seems like a game gods playing when the end for this earth comes he'll be like "time for round 2 of earth rise and fall"
no one has ever really understood life how it all began if something can come out of nothing then i have a lot to learn

I agree with you on that. If he knew what would happen when he made satan and he knew what would happen when he made the tree of knowledge, then there was really no point to it.

It is good that you have faith in God and in the Bible, which is a very important position to discover the spiritual mysteries.
You are still wondering about the possibility of a dull game (!) because you have ceased to learn from the Bible what is the meaning of predestination, what is resurrection, what is the creation and the end of the world.
With your highest imagination and understanding, you cannot vaguely guess God's eternal plan for the world of creation and the world of revelation, and the unlimited mysteries for the discovery of mankind through eternity.
Please answer your questions by studying more deeply the Bible and the Holy Books of other religions with full trust in the Omniscience and Omnipotence of the One True God.
In the past this study was reserved for the priests or the academists, but in our time, no philosophers can satisfy the various and complex queries of mankind. So, please do this necessary work for yourself.

Biochemists have learned about how primitive nucleic acids, amino acids and other building blocks of life could have formed and organized themselves into selfreplicating, self-sustaining units, laying the foundation for cellular biochemistry. Astrochemical analyses hint that quantities of these compounds might have originated in space and fallen to earth in comets, a scenario that may solve the problem of how those constituents arose under the conditions that prevailed when our planet was young. Creationists sometimes try to invalidate all of evolution by pointing to science’s current inability to explain the origin of life. But even if life on earth turned out to have a nonevolutionary origin (for instance, if aliens introduced the first cells billions of years ago), evolution since then would be robustly confirmed by countless microevolutionary and macroevolutionary studies.

Creationists say that mathematically, it is inconceivable that anything as
complex as a protein, let alone a living cell or a human, could spring up by chance.
Chance plays a part in evolution (for example, in the random mutations that can give rise to new traits), but evolution does not depend on chance to create organisms, proteins or other entities. Quite the opposite: natural selection, the principal known mechanism of evolution, harnesses nonrandom change by preserving “desirable” (adaptive) features and eliminating “undesirable” (nonadaptive) ones. As long as the forces of selection stay constant, natural selection can push evolution in one direction and produce sophisticated structures in surprisingly short times. As an analogy, consider the 13-letter sequence “TOBEORNOTTOBE.” Those hypothetical million monkeys, each pecking out one phrase a second, could take as long as 78,800 years to find it among the 2613 sequences of that length. But in the 1980s Richard Hardison of Glendale College wrote a computer program that generated phrases randomly while preserving the positions of individual letters that happened to be correctly placed (in effect, selecting for phrases more like Ham let’s). On average, the program re-created the phrase in just 336 iterations, less than 90 seconds. Even more amazing, it could reconstruct Shakespeare’s entire play in just four and a half days.

Creationists argue that The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that systems must become more disordered over time. Living cells therefore could not have evolved from inanimate chemicals, and multicellular life could not have evolved from protozoa.
This argument derives from a misunderstanding of the Second Law. If it were valid, mineral crystals and snowflakes would also be impossible, because they, too, are complex structures that form spontaneously from disordered parts. The Second Law actually states that the total entropy of a closed system (one that no energy or matter leaves or enters) cannot decrease. Entropy is a physical concept often casually described as disorder, but it differs significantly from the conversational use of the word. More important, however, the Second Law permits parts of a system to decrease in entropy as long as other parts experience an offsetting increase. Thus, our planet as a whole can grow more complex because the sun pours heat and light onto it, and the greater entropy associated with the sun’s nuclear fusion more than rebalances the scales. Simple organisms can fuel their rise toward complexity by consuming other forms of life and nonliving materials.

Its true God could have Known what would happen, but that would mean he prejudges. He has given everyone free will and each of has a opportunity do do the right thing. He has given us the Bible so we know what is required of us. Sure we do not have every detail about God and creation but that is for our own good. God interned for us to live forever and that kind of knowledge would take more time than most of us have. God knows the issues involved and he has told them to us in the Bible. He has also told us what we need to do to gain everlasting life.

But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who push the truth away themselves. For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that god made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsever for not knowing God.
Romans: 1; 18-20

You are right, and you are also wrong. .

There WAS a good reason for Him to do what He did. He wanted to create a race of people who would go through anything to be with Him, a race of people who really loved Him because they chose to. (there's more to it than that, but basically this is the case).

Also, He knew what we would do, but He wanted to actually give us the choice to choose (even when He knew what we would choose). I'm thinking maybe you don't really appreciate how magnificent man is, as God's primary creation, and how special God sees us as. (that's just my impression, am I right?). .

Btw, God explains to us how it all began in Genesis. He doesn't tell us everything, (including why He created, in so many words, but there are hints throughout Scripture about why He created us and why He chose us (those of us who are chosen)).

The following website is excellent for helping you see some things about who God is, how and why He created, etc.:

It's an excellent site.

Man's purpose [in being created] is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

It is great to see that you are pondering these things, at least! I dont profess to have all the answers. I dont know that any of us do. However, I will share how I feel, think, or believe. I have a God who gives me a free will. He lets me choose or not choose, according to MY wishes. It is I, who will be ultimately responsible for my actions. I also believe MY God has a wonderful sense of humor! He made us, right?...I do not believe MY God is somewhere "up there" with pen and paper in hand, writing down every little bitty thing I do(or even the big ones!). I dont believe he is just WAITING..knowing I, as a human, will make mistakes, only to ZAP me with some sort of anger or wrath! I believe that since he DID make me, he knows I have my weaknesses and my strengths..he knows my faults and my strong points...he knows my heart and he knows my mind....and in spite of it all...He loves me! Remember the verse,Hebrews. Verse 1 says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". .Have a little faith! It goes a long way!!

I know what you're asking!! I used to keep this list of questions I had for Jesus when I meet Him. My list started getting really long, eventually I decided that maybe faith doesn't require that I understand all God's mysteries. Thats when it occured to me that at the point I reach Heaven, I too will be made perfect, and will have God's perfect understanding. What a load off my brain... About faith - it's not easy. Paul said over and over just to keep pressing toward the goal that is the prize. Our focus must be how much more can I desire Christ. How much deeper will I know His love for me, if I just don't let myself get sucked into the worlds confusion... Chaos is my middle name! Thank God, He Is!!!!!

I don't know what type of Christian you are, but if your willing to read more than just the King James. Look into gnostic. The first Christians were Gnostic and it will open your eyes.
God is everything. The God we know is not the one behind the Veil.The God we know is a part of the one who we can never know. This is a place for us to learn. Someday we will join with God. I can go on and on. Email me if you want.

We were never created, people of every shape size and type have forever existed through out this universe. Earth, is but one of countless other places riddled with issues.

God is forever, there is no such thing as beginning or end. Time is man made, it does not exist.
