How did humans get on the earth?

Question

I believe that God put us here with a plan for our lives. Anyone have a comment to that?

I agree totally and completely with all of those who gave me the answer that God created us. Thanks for your comments.

Answer 1

God created man in the image of the Godhead, therefore He put us on earth; the only planet in our solar system that can sustain life.

Answer 2

Genesis 1:6-7

Answer 3

Read Genesis chapters 1 through 3. It is God's account for your first question. For your second question, you bet. God's plan has always been that man would seek Him, and glorify Him in all that they do, and enjoy Him forever. Unfortuneately, man has greatly fallen away from Him and a good portion of man today is doing their own thing.

Answer 4

I believe the same thing. God did this via evolution, however, and the reality of how that happened is not reflected in any holy text currently in use.

Answer 5

God certainly put us hear but he had no plan for us, because he left it up to us to chose our own walk, God simply creates life he doesn't rule it.

Answer 6

Earth is a prison. We are put here to be punished for crimes committed. The root cause for these crimes is envy. Here we go from body to body in the repeated cycle of birth, disease, old age and death.

Answer 7

I was born in California, from my mother, in a hospital. God did not place me on Earth. I have parents. My parents have told me that they, too, had parents and were born in California.

If God has a plan for my life, he hasn't let me know what it is.

Answer 8

I can only vouch for the past 34 years that I've been here, and I'd put good money that your lifespan is all you can prove as well. You can believe that carrots feel pain, too, but that won't make it come true.

Answer 9

We evolved from the primordial soup into what we are today.

Unfortunatley something went wrong along the way and some bright spark decided to invent religion.

Answer 10

ADAM

(Ad´am) [Earthling Man; Mankind; Humankind; from a root meaning “red”].

The Hebrew word occurs as “man,” “mankind,” or “earthling man” over 560 times in the Scriptures and is applied to individuals and mankind in general. It is also used as a proper name.

1. God said: “Let us make man in our image.” (Ge 1:26) What a historic pronouncement! And what a singular position in history Adam, the “son of God,” holds—the first human creature! (Lu 3:38) Adam was the crowning glory of Jehovah’s earthly creative works, not only because of the timing near the close of six creative epochs but, more importantly, because “in God’s image he created him.” (Ge 1:27) This is why the perfect man Adam, and his degenerate offspring to a much lesser degree, possessed mental powers and abilities far superior to all other earthly creatures.

In what way was Adam made in the likeness of God?

Made in the likeness of his Grand Creator, Adam had the divine attributes of love, wisdom, justice, and power; hence he possessed a sense of morality involving a conscience, something altogether new in the sphere of earthly life. In the image of God, Adam was to be a global administrator and have in subjection the sea and land creatures and the fowl of the air.

It was not necessary for Adam to be a spirit creature, in whole or in part, to possess Godlike qualities. Jehovah formed man out of the dust particles of the ground, put in him the force of life so that he became a living soul, and gave him the ability to reflect the image and likeness of his Creator. “The first man is out of the earth and made of dust.” “The first man Adam became a living soul.” (Ge 2:7; 1Co 15:45, 47) That was in the year 4026 B.C.E. It was likely in the fall of the year, for mankind’s most ancient calendars began counting time in the autumn around October 1, or at the first new moon of the lunar civil year.—See YEAR.

Adam’s home was a very special paradise, a veritable garden of pleasure called Eden (see EDEN No. 1), providing him with all the necessary physical things of life, for “every tree desirable to one’s sight and good for food” for his perpetual sustenance was there. (Ge 2:9) All around Adam were peaceful animals of every kind and description. But Adam was alone. There was no other creature ‘according to his kind’ with which to talk. Jehovah recognized that “it is not good for the man to continue by himself.” So by divine surgery, the first and only case of its kind, Jehovah took a rib from Adam and fashioned it into a female counterpart to be his wife and the mother of his children. Overjoyed with such a beautiful helper and constant companion, Adam burst forth in the first recorded poetry, “This is at last bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh,” and she was called woman “because from man this one was taken.” Later Adam called his wife Eve. (Ge 2:18-23; 3:20) The truthfulness of this account is attested to by Jesus and the apostles.—Mt 19:4-6; Mr 10:6-9; Eph 5:31; 1Ti 2:13.

Furthermore, Jehovah blessed these newlyweds with plenty of enjoyable work. (Compare Ec 3:13; 5:18.) They were not cursed with idleness. They were to keep busy and active dressing and taking care of their garden home, and as they multiplied and filled the earth with billions of their kind, they were to expand this Paradise to earth’s limits. This was a divine mandate.—Ge 1:28.

“God saw everything he had made and, look! it was very good.” (Ge 1:31) Indeed, from the very beginning Adam was perfect in every respect. He was equipped with the power of speech and with a highly developed vocabulary. He was able to give meaningful names to the living creatures all around him. He was capable of carrying on a two-way conversation with his God and with his wife.

For all these reasons and many more, Adam was under obligation to love, worship, and strictly obey his Grand Creator. More than that, the Universal Lawgiver spelled out for him the simple law of obedience and fully informed him of the just and reasonable penalty for disobedience: “As for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.” (Ge 2:16, 17; 3:2, 3) Notwithstanding this explicit law carrying a severe penalty for disobedience, he did disobey.
