Why did God make this world?

Question

What are your thoughts on this if you believe in God? It seems to me some people think this world isn't what He created it to be and that He lost control of it somewhere along the line.

Answer 1

No, God never lost control of the world. He knew exactly what was going to happen from the beginning. If you don't believe that then read the Bible. Isaiah wrote a lot about our time and so far has gotten everything right. Also, look at the book of Revelation. That is primarily about our day. So far it has been right. Look at Matthew 24, that is Jesus talking about our day. So far it is going along right on schedule.

There are two purposes to this world. First, to bring about life, specifically, our souls. A place where we could learn to use these bodies. As is evidenced by the world around us, these bodies are not that easy to master for a lot of people.

Secondly, to learn to have faith in God and in Jesus Christ. Those who exhibit true faith in Christ are those the gain eternal life with God. Also, those who exhibit true faith in Christ seem to have a much easier time at mastering their own bodies.

God is perfect. Jesus commanded us to be perfect even as God is. Nothing that is imperfect can dwell in the presence of God. He knew that this life was going to be very difficult. He seemed to know that most of us would not make it. Jesus himself said that the way to eternal life is a narrow path and few would enter that path. And he said the path to destruction was wide and mant would enter therein.

Evolution Explained
by David A. Rizwan
Evolution. Most people have heard of it, but not too many believe that it is possible. However, most people that see it as false do not understand it. I will try to clarify the blurry points in the Modern Evolutionary Theory. Simply put, Evolution is the process through which animals change over time. However, this seems to sum the story up a little too much. Most people that do not believe in Evolution do not fully understand it. Those people believe that the theory says that humans came from monkeys. This is not true. Those people believe that if an animal evolves, there is no prerequisite to the present animal alive. This is not true either.

The Theory of Evolution simply explains how life changes over time. This isn’t a few weeks, years, or even centuries. In most cases, this takes millions of years to be complete. The whole evolution process begins with a mutation. A mutation is any animal that is different from the norm. For instance, an albino garter snake is a mutation. A lucistic alligator is a mutation. Anything that is not normal in a living creature’s DNA is a mutation. It is obvious that some mutations would be more beneficial than others. This is where “Survival of the Fittest” comes into play. For instance, a longer bill on a nectar-feeding bird is beneficial, as it allows the bird to gather nectar much easier. Other mutations, such as an albino snake in a dark green jungle, are actually malicious. It is obvious that this snake will not be able to camouflage from predators while it is still young, making it an easy meal. The snake will never survive to the age to reproduce. The animals that are best matched to their environment will survive more, thus reproduce more.

There are sometimes periods in which the environment changes, such as the Ice Age. During the period of time, most of the world became icy and snow covered. The animals with a gene to have longer hair would usually die of heat exhaustion in the previous era. But now their hair is able to keep heat in their body, allowing them to survive better than the non-haired ones. The without hair began to die out, leaving only the ones with hair. The species had just evolved. As the environment changes, those that are fit to the new environment survive and reproduce, those that aren’t, die off.

Sometimes animals are separated from other animals of their species, such as the Galapagos Islands. These animals have a closed gene pool away from the other animals, and they also live in a different terrain type. This means that two samples of a species can evolve differently. One sample of a bird species may develop a longer bill to allow for easier food gathering, while the other sample develops a shorter bill for more control over the bill, and the final sample of the bird species may remain unchanged. Eventually through these changes and others, the two birds will eventually be so different that they can no longer reproduce. Another new species now exists.

Many believe that there is no evidence to support evolution. On the contrary, there is much more evidence than the other theories for how life came to be. When you compare two cats taxonomically, they are the same species. They can reproduce and produce fertile young. This means that all of the cat species are the same, Felis Domesticus. How did all of these come to be? Selective breeding is the key. Selective breeding is basically forced evolution upon a species. When people saw the first Siamese cat, they decided to make more. By breeding them with another cat, there is a chance to produce more of that mutation. More evidence to prove the existence evolution is homologous structures. These are structures that are made of the same thing, but fill different tasks. If you examine the skeletal structure of a whale flipper, it has the same bones as a human hand. There are many other situations such as this.

In conclusion, Evolution is a rather simple topic if you put time into fully understanding it. To evolve, all a species needs is a beneficial mutation and the death of the original version of the species. When an isolated species evolves away from the original population, it will form a new species. Since the original version is still alive, the species hasn’t evolved, but a new species has formed.

Answer 3

This question does not have an answer that could emanate from a finite mind. Did God make the world or did the world make God. This question is unanswerable till you fade from this world, which has been reflected in several books on post death experiences where a tunnel was seen and experienced with a loving, caring light at the end of the tunnel. Was that God or yet again figments of imagination? We will never know, till we go.

Answer 4

It, God's creation, was distorted when Adam and Eve chose to sin. Everything wrong in the World today is directly or indirectly caused by human sin.
God created a perfect peaceful world and mankind blew it. Only after this old world is destroyed can the new world and peace be re-established.

Answer 5

Well, if you believe in God as all-powerful then I don't think he would have lost control of the world. But people do have their agency whether or not to follow God. He can't make them do what's right. And of course you have Satan, or the devil, in the picture as well. He is real, he can tempt you, and people do fall into those temptations. Satan's as real as God, and his path is easier to follow, but will lead to misery.

Answer 6

GOD made this world to have company. Hopefully it was going to be willing company but when presented with a choice we seem to make the one that exalts ourselves and belittles GOD. Want proof? Look at Yahoo Answers R&S.

Answer 7

It seems that this world is a dumping ground for criminal s of the universe. It feels like we are here for a prison term of uncertain unknown time. long tireing painfull endurance of a non-escapeable land of hell. The only peace brought , is knowing that one day the term shall end, and one is taken away from this prison.

Answer 8

He did not lose control of it ....however, He was challenged by a rebel angel.
Satan challenged He was a liar .....Genesis 3:4.
Later, Satan challenged God was worshipped due to selfish motive. Job 2:4
This world is not what He created, but not due to a loss of control.
It is due to a challenge.
When the challenge is fully answered, things will be set straight.

Answer 9

read genesis gosh! it was meant to be inhabited and for a dwelling place of man which he created for fellowship, but he fell by sin, and he still loved us so much he sent his only begotten son Jesus to sacrifice for our sins so we can be forgiven with his blood and have eternal life if we ask.


this earth will be destroyed by fire and sin and rebellion will be put down and the earth made new and perfect and all the righteous dead will be resurrected immortally.

Answer 10
