If God is creating the universe and taking the time to create us then how could we ever feel unimportant?

Answer 1

there is no religions god get over it

Answer 2

"If the total amount of mass-energy is limited, and the amount of usable energy is decreasing, then the universe cannot have existed forever, otherwise it would already have exhausted all usable energy the heat death of the universe." Mass-energy may be limited, and the amount of USABLE energy may be decreasing, but that does not necessarily signify the end of the universe caused by the lack of energy to do work. The amount of energy remains the same. Total equilibrium of energy or "heat" in the universe does not mean the energy ceases to exist. It means that all things that require work as a function of energy to exist can no longer exist. However, the total amount of mass-energy will remain the same. You can state will absolute assurance that the universe has a beginning, only if you have absolute proof that the universe has an end. "The universe requires a cause because it had a beginning" Can we be absolutely sure that the universe had a beginning? If it has no end it has no beginning. Therefore it could have always existed. If "God" does not need a cause because He always existed, then why would a universe need a cause if it has always existed? How can we not be sure that the universe will not exist eternally in a state of equilibrium? What if the universe was not created for the purpose of human beings? "Also, the universe cannot be self-caused nothing can create itself, because that would mean that it existed before it came into existence, which is a logical absurdity." I agree with you there. Of course, a cause cannot be caused by itself. This is valid logic. On the other hand I do have one ponderous thought about time and God. If he caused the universes' beginning, he is a cause. Therefore, would he not be able to produce both cause and effects at His will? Time, like you've stated, "Einstein's general relativity, which has much experimental support, shows that time is linked to matter and space.", is a rate of change. However, I believe that time is a product of any type of change. Or cause and effect. Therefore, would God not be living in his own time? Whether it be constantly varying in speed or not. As he is acting or changing time passes as an effect. Time will not exist only when absolutely nothing exists, including God. However, I am not stating with for a fact that there is not a beginning to the universe. I am simply using logic to seek the truth. However, like all humans I make mistakes because I do not know everything. I am simply using my understanding of what I "know" to produce logical explanations. Maybe there is information out there that proves the universe did begin at a certain instant and that all things in it followed. This is a very interesting question. I like that you used logic to support your argument. That is how it should be done. And don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to disprove you here. I want the same thing you want. The truth. I have questions and I am simply trying to find the answer.

Answer 3

God springs forth from the primitive limbic system of your brain, the last remnants of your reptillion past. The area where our raw emotions reside, including the irrational belief systems.

The 'religious' experience is triggered by deep depression, starvation, near death, or other highly charged situations. The 'born-again' christian phenomena has a scientific basis....yes, your limbic system. Why has man evolved this mechanism you might ask? Simple...it was a survival mechanism of our cave man ancestors to cope with a hostile and unknown universe.

The cerebral cortex is a more recent development. Here is where our rational and logical thought processes take place. It is here that the atheists have found their basis in reality.

In reality, there is no sentient, omnipresent, omnipotent supernatural being or force....therefore all the inequities and misery of the world will always persist, no matter how hard some try to get that limbic brain of ours to work...sorry

Answer 4

Think In this way for a second

" we are not different from god "

Then don't you think that actually we are the ones creating the universe and not god, I feel we want to put the blame on somebody else but not take the responsibility of the way things are in this world today, and conveniently blame God --- who does not really feel bad about it ( since we only blame him for what we think is wrong ).!!!

Answer 5

We create the universe around us through the free-will given to us by our creator. We project our beliefs, impressions, perspectives, thought, emotions and dreams, drawn from a greater source of power (God, if you will) to create our own reality. We are in much more control than we could ever believe. Of course we are important. We are each an individuation of the ultimate energy / power source / creator, experiencing an individual physical life experience which further adds to the knowledge of the whole.

Answer 6

When we dont have other people there for us when we are sad or to tell us we are important to them. First you are assuming that someone believes in god too, that he did create us and something we dont understand fully. Maybe people feel unimportant because they dont know why they exist or their purpose in the world and struggle trying to find it. and those who dont believe in God think that if there was a God, he should send down some angels to tell them he exists and why he put them in a place that makes him hate his life more than loving it.

Answer 7

IF everything was the same, and there were no emotional fluctuations, life would be boring.
I think a great example would be in the movie "Serenity" when they land on a dead planet. The government had made a chemical that weeded out aggression and things like that. The people just stopped and died.
Same thing in the movie "Equilibrium." They cut out human emotion, and society was nothing more than procreating, and going to work. Life had no meaning.

Answer 8

People sometimes feel they get lost in the vastness. But that is a misunderstanding of the nature of God. He can hold the universe in the palm of His hand and still keep us individually as the apple of His eye! Everyone is important because Christ died for each individual as well as the world as a whole.

Answer 9

For one thing, we are important to god. Read Matt. 10:29 in any bible. It talks about sparrows, and how when one of them falls to the ground, God takes notice. So you can all say what you want about God. But just reading that scripture makes me think of how much more he cares about us, his human creation, the beings he made in his image, rather than simple sparrows. that should make anyone feel important.

Answer 10

for a variety of reasons

1. god "gave" us the ability to die
2. god "seems" to be on a lunch break whenever really bad stuff happens. These things often outweigh the good he is "responsible" for creating
3. didn't god stop creating the universe after that seventh day when he rested, and didn't he stop creating us once we started reproducing.

Answer 11

That's assuming that
1) There is an intelligent being which created the universe
and
2) The creature is personally interested in each and every one of us, including whether we win football games and similar nonsensical things that we pray about.

Personally, I don't buy either of those ideas.
