I look at the creation and know that there is a Creator. I don't think that one day, after the dino's died off, a little mammal popped up out of nowhere. What would've evolved first, the blood, or the vessels. Did 2 of them just pop up at the same location in the whole world? Of the opposite sex?!?! How did they know to have sex? Was it out of desire? The will to survive? How did they figure it out? Was it love? How did love "evolve"?
... Should I ask all these questions seperately?

All the deniers deny God, on account of the reason that God is not encircled by their intellect. And ___ all the believers believe in God, on account of the same reason that God is not encircled by their intellect. Therefore, the believers and the deniers, the both, do agree that God is not encircle-able by human intellect.
The believers do believe that God is Ever Sufficient for them and for their needs. And___ God not only, suffices them and their needs, rather, God guides them in every matter in every walk of life. By and by, a co-existing fact is notice-worthy that God remains Ever Sufficient for the deniers as well.
If God had been for the believers alone and God had not been for the deniers___ then everyone would have believed in God’s existence equally so as to meet their needs of life equally.
Rational thinking has collected a series of scientific about the universe whose result is highly thought-provoking____ which has been summarized in the following words:
“No material thing is capable to create it by itself”.
This result is based on such an authentic calculation that we can not find any room to criticize it in rational terms. Through irrational terms, of course, one can criticize it as much as he desires.
Strange is the fact that this calculation brings forth, detailed answers of all the questions, which arise, in human mind, about existence of God.
“No material thing is capable to create it by itself”
means that there is a Creator of all the things of universe.
1. Who is this Creator?
2. How like is this Creator?
3. Where is this Creator?
These are the questions to be answered in detail.
Each creature is identifiable within its particular creaturely limits and the creatures of the universe are countless. And___ they are all alike on the one side and different from each other on the other side. So, we come to the following three important attributes of their Creator, automatically:-
1. The Creator owns infinite knowledge & all-encompassing creativity.
2. Harmony, Balance, Style and System of Creation reveal that the Creator is the All-Alone Owner of the Nature & the Almightiness.
3. The Creator is Unseen Omnipotent and nothing is alike the Creator. And, the Creator can never be considered as a limited, conceivable and physically approachable thing.
Nothing is alike the Creator means that everything of this universe is a creaturely thing. And____ the word of “thing” itself determines the boundaries of a creature & encircles its material or immaterial existence. While the Creator of this infinite & inapprehensible universe___ is free from all sorts of creaturely limits. So, non of the reckoning, is there, which may declare the Creator as a thing. And____ to declare the Creator as a thing is totally an irrational declaration, equal to the denial of Creator.
Besides that, the Creator can be believed as Creator of everything, only in that case, when nothing should, predominantly, be alike the Creator. No other rational way is there, to believe the Creator as the Creator. We can not consider the Creator as a person or a thing or a creature and, at the same time, as a Creator of everything every person and every creature. Such an approach will be, altogether, an irrational approach, rather, an absurd approach.
A thing or a person, or a concept or a consideration, all in all; are in fact the limited pictures of our understanding. While every understandable thing is a limited and encircled thing. Which can never be considered as a creator of anything.
Appropriate way of belief in God is that, God should not be considered in terms of things as nothing of the whole series of things___ is alike God. That is why that God is termed as Super-natural and Super-physical. And, such a terminology is completely correct, as we can not determine that how-like is God. Nor we can say that such and such thing is alike God.
To pronounce God’s glory in proper terms, we should not say, “God is not a thing”. Instead, we should say, “Nothing is alike God”. Delicate difference of the both sentences is a particularly notice-worthy. If we say that:
“God is not a thing”
then, the intellect (which is accustomed to perceive things) will say that God is nothing and God is not existing. Whereas God is existing here and there everywhere. So, when we say that:
“Nothing is alike God”
“Nothing is alike God”
then, it is automatically declared that God is the beyond of everything and God is not a thing. God is very much existing but God is not perceivable by human intellect.
To believe in God in rational terms, we should positively know that what is a thing. Such knowledge will enable us to know the Creator, with reference to God’s created things, conveniently.
Everything, according to the most modern knowledge, is perceived on account of its reality based organic order and composition. And____ the organic order and composition of a thing, are determined under some particular rules and regulations. That is why that a thing remains different from the other thing and it remains specific representative of it’s own kind. An apple remains apple___ a mango remains mango___ a flower remains flower___ and a thorn remains a thorn. And___ they are never exchanged with each other, at any stage of their development inspite of their atmospheric and biological similarity.
Here___ the intellect is highly amazed that how-like are these working rules and regulations, which do not let the things go beyond their organic limits. Wherefrom have these rules & regulations come including their regulative force, which remains always intact and is never decayed by the passage of time. Are these rules and regulations alive? Of course, they are alive, as it is evident from their creative working. But who has given them such a strange & marvelous life? These are the questions, entailing in certain other questions, for which, human intellect has no answer at all.
The only and the alone answer in this regard is that, some Ordainer of these rules & regulations is definitely alive and existing. Who is the All-Alone Creator of everything including it’s order and composition or its characteristics. But rest assured that even the commonplace creature, is not encompass-able by human intellect in real terms. So, how the Creator can be encompassed by the human intellect.
Presence of countless creatures with their living characteristics, however, makes us understand that the Creature is very much existing and present, everywhere, quiet close to the creatures. But the Creator is not checked by any border or limit or by some organism, as every organism, itself, is a sort of limitation. So, the Creator is the Absolute & the Infinite and nothing is alike the Creator. And nothing can be ever alike the Creator as everything is limited by certain organism. Whereas the Creator is the Ordainer of every organism. The Creator is not an organism at all.
Existence of the universe and it’s marvelous chain of complexed systems___ working in highly delicate fractions and frequencies___ are the ever-sounding witnesses of the existence of their Creator. Who is existing everywhere but is not an object of existence like a thing. As nothing of the existing or non-existing things can be alike the Creator. So, men, of intellect should positively pay heed, to the revealed information___ coming from the beyond of this universe.
The latest scientific result that:
“No material thing is capable to create it by itself”
is very much harmonized with the revealed truth that
“Nothing is alike the Creator (God)”
The former is not only harmonized with the latter, rather, it is rationally leading every modern information and scientific calculation of the day, to its actual and the ultimate destination. The truth springs out automatically when we join these two sentences together.
So, whenever we say that:
“No material thing is capable to create it by itself”,
then, it will be automatically decided that there is some Creator of everything. Likewise whenever we say that:
“Nothing is alike the Creator”,
then, it will be also automatically decided, that the Creator is free from every sort of organism and the Creator is Absolute and Infinite, in absolute & infinite terms as the Creator is Holy.
In presence of this vast and inapprehensible universe, we can not deny the presence of it’s Creator. Who is not encompass-able by human intellect, as the Creator is the Super-natural and the Super-physical. So we can not declare the created things as God.
If everything had been God and God had been everything, then, the revealed verdict would have not been like that:
“Nothing is alike the Creator (God)”.
Therefore, none of the things of universe, material or immaterial, solid or liquid, bright or dark, open or hidden, physical or metaphysical, partial or the whole, including the life and death, and the beginning and the end and so on____ can be declared as God or image of God___ as the creature can never be alike God.
In the other words, we cannot make any image or imagination of God. So those___ who worship any image or imagination of God____ they do not worship God___ instead they worship an idol___ made by their own intellect.
To make some image or imagination of God, is not possible and permissible on account of the fact and the verdict that “nothing is alike god”. No soil, no stone, no wood and no metal can ever be or become alike God. None of these things can give us any idea or information, about God. We can not take the idols and images___ even as some signs or signals____ pointing to God. Such an act will be the misuse of intellect and a tremendous injustice. Intellect is ordained to believe the Unseen God in the light of the testimony of heart and that is the faith in reality.
No painter can paint any image of God and no philosopher can develop any imagination of God. That is why that to deal with the most important matter of the belief in God____ Prophets were sent by God. If they had not come then we would have been lead astray____ definitely____ on account of our material thinking.
Brain can not encompass the Creator, even, after consumption of its whole potential.
Albert Einstein has declared the universe as inapprehensible on account of its infinity. As such, he has pointed out the limits of the brain.
We can utter the word of God, Eishwar, Jehovah or Allah, as a name of the Creator. But we can not treat it, as the name, which can encompass the real existence of Creator.
Space____ is the name of a thing, which declares the space as a thing. It is the name of such a thing, which encircles the material objects but itself is like an immaterial state. In the same way God is a name but it does not declare God as a thing. And____ it is a specific name for the Creator of everything. The Creator is not a thing and nothing is alike the Creator.
An important source of Evolution is the Nature’s process of selection. Which is originally one of the laws of nature and a secondary cause, like the other laws of nature, as it’s Creator is again God.
All the species generated by this process are again the indirect creation of God as the Nature’s process of selection, itself, is not capable to create any specie. It simply admits some species to be nourished, leaving aside the others, to be withered and this process works under some hereditary variations. So___ the survival or removal of a specific specie, is never accidental as it is presumed by the believers of material or mechanical evolution”.
This very statement of Edward Luther Castle positively removes that superstition. Which has captured, not only, the materialists but the religious leaders as well. Who are still in it’s captivity even after the lapse of so many years. Dr. George Erl Devis, the physicist, writes:
“As much as the knowledge is flourishing and the superstitions are being unveiled___ importance & inevitability of the critical study of religion & ethics___ is increasing day by day in the same scale.”
The physicist is hinting upon the urge of the “quest for truth and the specific process” which may bring forth, a suitable solution for the problems of life. Of course, we can not lead the life in a particular way unless we come to know the origin of life. What is the actual and factual truth? Only after positive cognition of the same, we can learn to lead the real life. And__ the same learning may, in turn, lead us to the aim of life.
George Erl Devis writes further:
“The surprising scientific discoveries have produced certain indispensable questions. Though not so new, but their nature has become more changed, on account of___ the receipt of detailed information about cosmic system. And___ in any case____ man can not be held as excluded thereform. Among these questions, is the most important question___ upon whose answer is depending___ our aim of life and the system of our moral values. And___ that is the same old question that:
Is there any Supreme and Sublime Source who is the Creator of whole cosmos and who could be surnamed as God?
And___ thereby arises the other question, that if God has created us then who has created God? This question is usually raised by the children, in a highly logical air.
We can not deny the fact, that science has no convincing reply of the question that God is existing or not? Rather, science can never bring forth a scientific proof thereof.
We are breathing in such a physical universe which is running smoothly in terms of the pre-ordained laws of it’s complexed system. But, it does not mean that we can ever derive some information, through this very universe, about a thing, which is existing outside to this universe. Our universe is just like a room without any doors and windows. And even if it is having the same, then, such glasses are fixed therein that to see & understand the outside thereform is totally impossible. Whereas to see inside from the outside__ is almost possible.”
As we can not prove the existence or non-existence of God on the basis of science. So it is the all-alone way for us, that whatsoever stock of information we have, about this universe. We should derive a reasonable result therefrom. Such a reasonable result___ which could never be objected on logical grounds. And such a result, duly derived from the stock of scientific information, is this:
“No material thing is capable to create it by itself”
and___ that is such a reasonable result, which is free from all sorts of logical objections. And___ through this very result we come to know about the Creator Who is Creator of all the material and immaterial things, and who is the Omnipotent.
If we presume that the universe is created accidentally or automatically. Then we will have to presume too, that the universe, itself has the power of creation. Such a presumption is, however, not maintainable on account of the scientific informations, collected so far, about the universe. So___ accidental or automatic creation of universe___ is the result___ which is totally irrational.
And where, God is being believed as the Alone Creator of universe, scientific informations are now becoming a foundation there. And science___ which is the fountain-head of the pure observational, analytical and experimental knowledge___ has reached at such a stage. That the next step whereof is not else___ but to believe in God and God’s Almighty Omnipotence. And___ that is on account of this very consensus of the universal scientific informations that:
“No material thing is capable to create it by itself”.
It is a Verse-like ray of Holy light and a great information. Proper apprehension whereof leads us, directly, to the realm of Faith.
“Universe was created accidentally or automatically” is a notion, which is not confirmed by the scientific information. So, to think like that is an irrational & illogical gesture. Which leads nowhere but to the ignorance.
Which God we should believe?
It is an important question and it is more important for the person who is desirous to know his God.
Can we consider this accidentally or automatically created universe as God? Does it create and remove everything by itself? But the scientific consensus that:
“No material thing is capable to create it by itself”
clarifies that universe was not created accidentally or automatically. Nor it is capable to create anything by itself. Nor it is given any knowledge of creation. And___ if the universe does not own any knowledge of creation___ then the knowledge of creation is definitely related to Mr. Albert Einstein’s that very Infinite & Supreme Power or Cause. Whose creative manifestations are being seen everywhere in this inapprehensible universe.
The act of knowledge, which is the process of creation in this universe___ is a magnificent sign ___ which is leading us, directly, to the Creator.
Power of knowledge and act of knowledge in terms of the process of creation___ bespeak of such a Creator who is Unique___ Who is free from the creaturely traits__ Who is far above the Nature and our state of knowledge___ Who is Supreme, Supernatural and Omnipotent. About whom we can speak in the following rational terms.
“The Creator of things is not a thing or like the created things. And as the intellect itself is a thing, so it is not considerable more than a thing of superior kind. Therefore its capability of making some image or imagination of the Creator will result to such a step, which may diminish the supreme sublimity of the Creator”.
In this way a man of intellect may believe in God on logical basis. Whereafter he will always consider his God as the Sole Creator and the Sole Guardian of universe. He will never consider his God as a part of universe or a thing in universe or the universe.
It means that God is Super-natural and Super-physical. Who is not perceivable through our senses at all.
The commonplace concept that God is a kind of matter as well as God is the Creator of matter or___ God is the universe as well as God is Super-natural & Super-physical___ is a self-contradictory and an irrational concept.
We must refrain from such concepts and resort to reality that existence of creatures is separate from the Creator and the creatures are not like the Creator at all. Because creatures live and die and they are under God’s control. It is recorded in the Scripture in the words of the Creator:
“I__ and I alone___ am God
No other god is real”
(Duet 32:39)
Worship no god but Me!
Do not make for yourselves images of anything
In heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth
Do not bow down to any idol or worship it
For I am the Lord your God and
I tolerate no rivals.
(Duet 5:7 to 9)
Hence, we must believe our God as the Supernatural and Super-physical. God is not perceivable by our senses. Nor___ God is point-able like point-able things. Nor___ the names of God’s created things should be used for God. Nor ___ we should consider God in terms of things and worship God as a thing. Of course___ we should believe God, the same way, as God has commanded us to believe. And___ God’s Commandments 9Duet 32:39 and Duet 5:7 to 9) are very much reasonable and quiet corresponding to our intellect.
The Lord of Abraham
The Ahura of Zoroaster
The Eishwar of Krishna
The Jehovah of Moses
The God of Jesus
The Allah of Muhammad
is the AlMighty One Alone God Only who is the Creator and Nourisher of us all.
Yes there is a God , The One Alone AlMighty All Capable Lord who is making your heart beat in your chest.
“Whenever a person thinks about the motion____ a thought of the motion-setter comes in his mind automatically”
(Andrew Connde)
God is really existing! Quest of a hundred percent convincing argument in support of this claim, is a matter of specific nature. Which is totally dependent upon one’s own research and experience.
If you will try to understand the Faith, in accordance with it’s prescribed conditions and sources. Then sooner or later, you will come to the enlightening nature and truthfulness of the claim, definitely.
And___ when you will become aware of particular nature of the link between God-n-man including its prescribed conditions to maintain it. And___ when you will become wholeheartedly busy in positive accomplishment of the prescribed conditions. Then, as a result of your sincerity___ such a link between God-n-man will develop___ that no room will remain vacant for any type of doubt or suspicion. And___ faith in God will elevate you up to such an extent that you will feel and realize the Lord____ quiet near and familiar to you. And___ such a soothing satisfaction will prevail all-around you which is meant for the chosen-ones alone.

Hmm...there's a lot going on here.
First off, you're right -- a little mammal did not pop up out of nowhere. No complex animals ever pop up out of nowhere -- that would flatly contradict evolution. Mammals were already around when the dinosaurs were around, and they survived the asteroid strike because they were smaller and more adaptable.
As for sex, that was invented a long, LONG time ago by two identical single-cell organisms as a way of sharing genetic information. It became extremely "popular" because sharing genes speeds up your evolutionary rate, and makes you stronger against bacteria and other things (because the immune systems of both parents are combined). The single-celled-organisms that had "sex" would easily beat out those that didn't, and so sex became the standard.
As for love, it is either a byproduct of human empathy, or a result of the advantages of parental care. In the animal kingdom, typically, the rule goes that the lesser number of children an animal has, the more likely the parents will stay together as partners. This is because in order to successfully pass on the genes to the next generation, "couples" that stayed together would generally be more likely to have kids that survived to reproductive age. Therefore, nature "selected" those individuals with genes that promote lifelong partnerships.
It's good you're asking questions -- don't get frustrated and just say "God made the animals pop up out of the ground." There's a real answer for all your questions, if you take the time to look. You could start by reading here:

You are on the right track.
Creation is God expressing Himself.
Sometimes, we look for God in all the
wrong places.
Creation is energy that explodes and
forms around genetic frequencies.
Energy forms have two stages: particle
and quantum.
Particle energy adds to time and space.
Quantum energy subtracts from time
and space.
This process has a pattern and runs in
cycles. When a "Big Bang" occurs,
stars always form first (least atomic
resistance) then planets emerge from
their quantum state. Eventually, water
shows up and allows life to bloom.
There is no real beginning. Everything,
including "love," has always been in
existence.
Footnote: Planets are not chips from
stars. And, we don't come from our
parents, or monkeys or fish or whatever.
We actually come through our ancestry.
Every energy form actually centers around
it's given genetic frequencies.
Creation is much like a computer. Certain
quarks format with certain frequencies.

I can't tell you that God exists. If he does he hasn't said anything to me. But to your more specific questions,by theory, evolution took a long time. It's a theory that many dinosaurs were already warm-blooded. From there, the ice age wiped many of them out. Those who survived had adapted fur to keep them warm. These would be your first true mammals, though not evolved to what we see today.
Even today, I see everything to be theory. There is the theory of evolution, which seems to have proof, but doesn't hold up 100%. There is the theory of God, which also seems to have proof, but, again, doesn't hold up 100%. It comes down to a choice in belief. You can choose either, or choose something else entirely.

Did you ever consider the notion that evolution is the process through which creation unfolds? The correct question should be which evolved first nucleic acids (RNA-DNA) or the membrane to enclose it (the first cell). Sex is natural (a product of nature), ie....the natural drive to survive (the lower form of desire). They did not have to figure it out, it came naturally. Love is of the higher mind which it means its survival and desire taken into higher consciousness. Most of humanity is still at the level of survival and desire, they have yet to reach the level of "god".

you can't prove that god exists.
or that he doesn't.
it's faith, take it, leave it, or alter it to fit your needs.
People need to feel meaning, they need a reason to 'be alive'. The Dawkins lifestyle, tends to make people believe that they have no purpose, they are just DNA's way of creating more DNA.
Personally, I do not know enough about my 'religion' or 'evolution' to really have "faith". I refuse to 'belive' blindly, and in my investigation (?) i have found out that I have issues with both sides.
I find that believing that everything in the bible is absolutely it. It was written, and read my man, it is subjected to flaws. Do, I believe that there is a "message", or a general direction of leading a "good" life in there, yes.
I find that I exist purely because of random chance, slightly disturbing. I want to feel special. Leading a life to procreate just seems depressing.
So in the end, Im stuck somewhere in intelligent design.
Yay. Go Behe.

It sounds like you've answered your own questions. What is here that humans did not make must be created by God. God is the creator of all, therefore God has to exist. God may be whatever you believe God is. No one living has actually seen God so the description lies within each of us.
To have sex is one of our instincts. It is born within us. Our bodies tell us what to do by our own desire.
Love didn't evolve......love is what we all are. In animals, it is not love as we humans believe it to be, but instinct only - designed to procreate.

No, no god/dess(es) exist.
The evolution of creatures includes the appropriate sexes for procreation, and in early 'man' it was instinct, not love, that perpetuated the species. Instinct guided them to sex, enjoying it increased their chances of doing it more frequently (esp the males, it may have been a while before females got much out of it).
