CREATION: Something started it all. I'm no scientist but I do know you can't create something from nothing. I do believe it all took more than 7 days. CREATOR: Way too much for my or anybody else's little human mind to explain. To ask a human what God is, is like asking a fish to explain water. Its more like an experience than an object. END OF THE WORLD: Eventually, this planet will die. The world could mean a number of things. The way planet's resources are being used up will likely to bring catastrophic changes to the climate and create much misery and death thereby changing the way we survive here. Then there's man's ability to destroy everything by the use of nuclear weaponry could be part of the equation. But also, the world could be considered the whole government/monetary system that everyone on this planet accepts as the way it is and that no other system could possibly work. The truth is though, We have never been offered any other paradigm be cause that would the loss of power to the elite who have been running the show since the beginning of civilization. Seeing how the results of this quest for more power is so absurd and self defeating, and thanks to the technological advances of the last few hundred years, possibly world conscienceness could change the paradigm. It could certainly use an overhaul. Many people would oppose this and may even die trying to keep this from happening. And face it, the end of your world is when you die. Maybe the end of the world is just a change in conscienceness, from a survival mode to a compassion mode. .WHERE DO YOU GO? If something can't be created from nothing, then nothing can be uncreated. I believe that only the form changes, like matter into energy. Just because our human eyes can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. We rely on the use of energy right now yet you can't see electricity. But you can't deny it isn't there. So, when you die, that energy is transformed into something else. What? I don't know but I have a good idea. But rather than try to explain something that I don't understand, I keep my ideas personal. And I allow others to do the same. Fewer enemies that way. Because all I really know is this form right now. SOUL: There is something in my head, heart and gut that I call The Observer. It does not age like the rest of my body. I believe the observer is my soul. It gives me a queasy feeling when do something I'm less than proud of upon reflection. It reminds me that I'm not the center of the universe when I want to put my needs above everybody elses and when I can manage to quiet my chattering mind long enough, it connects me with the rest of humanity and universal energy.

Creation... what a mystery. I know how it states in the Bible that God created the world in Genesis, but to really witness such a feat. I have issues beleiving a lot of the stories of the Bible. I think a lot of these stories are written just to give us an example of a bigger lesson. Granted, some of them are probably true.
As far as religion is concerned, I do not blindly accept everything put in front of me. I am not a sheep. I think for myself and I do appreciate different types of theism (after all there is more than one religion). I am, however, tired of self-righteous religious groups altogether. I am tired of people missing the point.... how their religion teaches love and brotherhood, yet how many wars have been waged JUST because of religion. What did that bloodshed prove? Their faith in GOD? Chances are, God wouldn't want that. God reserves the right for Judgement, according to the Christian faith. Who are we to say we are right for being Christian, and screw everyone else who isn't? Who are we to condemn another person because they are, and this is just an example, homosexual? We won't let two people who love each other get married because they are the same gender. RIDICULOUS! And the basis of that? RELIGION and Right-wing conservatives who think their way is right.
Anyhow... creator. I am not sure who created us. Maybe it was God... but I shouldn't question God, because that will piss off the christians. Maybe we are an alien race, or we were part of some primortial ooze, and we materialized.... or evolved from a tiny one-cell organism. I really don't know. See, I think that people believe in Genesis because it is a ready-made answer. Its right there to grab and people do not have to think about it. "Oh, you mean I have to think about where I came from? That could take a while. Oh... you say God created us and the world in 7 days? Sounds good. I'll take it".
Don't get me wrong, I am not against Christianity. I just happen to think differently.
Ok, matters of the soul and dying. As far as having a soul.. I do beleive we have a soul. Have you ever met someone who didn't have a soul? Scary. Their eyes are cold and black. Can't even look at them.
As far as where we go when we die... I am not sure. I do know that I think funerals and praying over an empty corpse is idiotic. That person is no longer there. I guess it is good for closure. But Catholic funerals are the most drawn out events.
I think that we go to other dimensions when we die. That our energy takes on a non-corporeal form and we float throughout dimensions that our physical body could not withstand.
Well, now that I have ranted enough... thats how I feel about those topics.
I am sick of

About creation and the creator:
This universe seems to have been created from a big bang. We don't know the conditions that existed before this universe that would allow that big bang to happen. We don't even know if there was a before or what the rules would be in that meta-universe. Making up answers like, "God did it", really don't add any value. They actually deter people from trying to find out what the truth really is.
About the end of the world:
We don't know when it will happen, but eventually the Sun will blow up big enough that it engulfs the Earth. We don't have to worry about that for a while, though.
About where you go after this world:
When you die, you're dead. You cease to exist. There is no "after this world"
About souls:
They don't exist.

I think we are a product of our world. The Earth, Herself, is our Creator. Life formed on Her as an artistic Expression of Her Being and gradually became more complex as She became more complex until we were here. The world will end in billions of years, but may become uninhabitable to us long before that. I believe in reincarnation. People die, review their lives, and then are reborn as a person again. I believe that humans have a spiritual nature to our being and I guess you could call that a 'soul', whatever that means.

Creation and Creator: Buddhists don't really care, Buddha admitted that he did not know and that it didn't matter anyway. Personally, I don't think creation is very likely.
End of the World: When the Sun expands, supernovas, and collapses. In a couple billion years.
After this world: Reincarnation, unless you have reached Nirvana, then you are not reborn, you cease to exist.
Souls: Yes

Yes i believe perfectly. Because the bibles tells us that, at the end of the world we well go to HEAVEN or HELL. Your soul will rise and search for the right place to enjoy.

Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Ecc 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Ecc 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And the meek shall inherit the earth. Seek after Jesus, he wants to give you life, and life more abundantly.

I think that after we die our souls go to heavens, and bodies to soil, and your body remain in soil till the judgment day, when all the people will stand before god (the creator) to be judged for their work, and then go to Heaven or to Hell, unless God's mercy help you on this great day and go ALL to heaven with his kindness... :)

The almighty God created the earth, us and all that you see. This world will end. We will be in paradise, with all who passed before us, friends, relatives, and pets.
Just believe in God. Trust in Jesus. Live your life as well as you can. Be happy!
