What existed first?

Question

What existed first, nature or god ,light or darkness, good things or bad things ?

Answer 1

nature was first. then man. then gods.

Answer 2

Logically with the knowledge that we have now there's no doubt that there has to be a creator. With Science today Theories such as The Big Band Theory (first proposed by a Catholic priest thou not given credit) and evolution are pretty much facts when given the evidence and equations, (the only reason we can't say they are facts is because we can't physically see them happening). I understand that fundamentalists believe that everything we know of was created like 5000 years ago (eeh probably not, but possible I guess), but most scientists think maybe just a little farther back, just about 12,999,995,000 years off but close. What I'm getting at, is that whether the Big Bang is true and it happened 13 billion years ago then what caused it, which you have to conclude that there is some type of beginning and end, something or someone

There had to be something that started everything
SOMETHING

Answer 3

First Dark then Light
First God then Nature
First sense, then things, then bad things and last is good things.

Answer 4

That which always was -- whatever we call it -- existed first (by definition). This universe resulted from that -- again, whatever that is. And this universe is the thing that has time, space, nature, light, darkness, good, etc. in it. Outside of this universe (actually, there is no outside but yet it's expanding ... weird), none of these things exist. There is no 'before' the universe even though we try to refer to it as such -- because 'before' is time. Weird stuff but it's what we have to work with.

Answer 5

Speculation,Contemplation, In a space -less space of nothing ness, not time nor space existing , some kind of A Vision. But No Visionary Perhaps . May be the Painter was the effect and the Picture a cause.

Answer 6

God and His rulles.God is Light ,Love,Armony.
The free will can say no to God....and so the place of Light is take by the darkness.

Answer 7

God created the universe and there was darkness so he then made light. Then God created nature and since God created the devil then good was around long before bad.

Answer 8

From a religious prospective, it would be God.Then man's imagination created God. God only exist because we had questions about life and nature and our acquiring minds wanted to know the answers. Man had to think and sometime when he thinks, he doesn't know the answer so he comes up with a logical explanation.But humans For centuries, what we cant explain, we explain it away with God.

Answer 9

everything has always existed simultaneously..........they all came together.....they were born before time.....will end after time.....difficult to understand.....the question you have asked does not have a single answer......to answer this question all the holy books were written but everyone who read them made his own interpretation.......there is a story that once a St. ( i forget the name) was walking on the sea shore....he was pondering over the questions which you have asked.....he saw a boy who had made a small hole and was filling it with sea water with the help of a small spoon.....when asked by the St. that what was he doing the boy replied that he will transfer all the sea water in to the pit.....the St. said that it was impossible....the boy replied that it it much easier to fill all the sea in this little pit then it is for you to get the answers of the questions you are pondering on......no i m not telling you to stop thinking as you have the right to ask questions and get their answers.....but you will no0t get a definite answer as the debate on the right ans. for this question has been going on since man first came on earth and we still don't have an answer that will satisfy all.......it is a good thing that you are not one of those persons who just accept whatever they are told without understanding

Answer 10

God was before everything
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Answer 11

u cannot differentiate ,
Nature and God are not different............


God create the Universe,
and 'Vedas' tells us about that,
The Universe itself is God.

Veda also says,
'Ishavasyam idam sarvam'
means, He is everywhere even in molecules,
neutron, photon everything.
it's also said He is 'swayambhu' - selfcreated.

the theory of Big Bang which is universally accepted and very close to Indian philosophy make us understand little.

the Sun is sources of energy, proved scientifically and hindus also believe universe is a big fire ball and explosion split energy in different sources or forces.
so we , put it together, Big Ban , then, He is selfcreated so He himself divided his energy through explosion and as He is everywhere even in molecules so practically He can do that.

so God and nature are not different.
i think,
light should remain forever and
as well as good things..........
?????



and I believe in Supreme power,
in this way,
G reat,
O mniscient, omnipresent
D ivine power
