Why did we invent TV? You gotta think, being a supreme Being, with eons to kill, God would want some diversion. And you have to admit, mankind is pretty entertaining!

Destiny is not created by God. We create the destiny according to our own karma. Karma is scientific, the same as the Newton's third law of motion, every action has equal and opposite reaction.
Bible also confirms by saying, "As you sow so shall you reap"
So, the Lord is telling from within the heart what is good and what is bad. This is conscience coming from the Lord. The soul can choose the good or bad since it is endowed with the free-will.
It is just like if the child wants to touch fire, the parents forbid the child, but if the child persists in touching, then the parents allow.
The child touches fire, burns the finger and does not touch again.
See some of the scriptural quotes below for more understanding.
Lord Sri Krishna says in the Bhagavad gita(19.61),
The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy.
Comparing the soul and supersoul sitting on the tree of body,
both the Katha Upanisad and Svetasvatara Upanisad say,
"Although the two birds are in the same tree, the eating bird is fully engrossed with anxiety and moroseness as the enjoyer of the fruits of the tree. But if in some way or other he turns his face to his friend who is the Lord and knows His glories—at once the suffering bird becomes free from all anxieties."
The supersoul is only acting as the witnesser and sanctioner.as mentioned in the Bhagavad gita(13.23),
"Yet in this body there is another, a transcendental enjoyer, who is the Lord, the supreme proprietor, who exists as the overseer and permitter, and who is known as the Supersoul."
So, we are in the material world leaving the spiritual world, but as soon us we turn towards the Lord, we go back to the spiritual world to be eternally in knowledge and blissful(sac-cid-ananda)
Therefore, God gave various scriptures(vedas, bible, quran etc...) so that human beings can, by reading them lead a peaceful life on earth and understand the purpose of God and go back to him.

The purpose of life is exploration and for that we need to be here, hence birth. God may have decided our destinies but we still need to work for it. Its like you have a road but to drive on it you need to learn how to drive! The same way god has marked some important events in our life for which we have to achieve some goals. A teacher has a reward for all good students but one has to work hard to earn it...

In the beginning, we are part of that pure energy that makes the flowers bloom, the plants grow etc.but we don't have the mind then.
Now that we exist, we forgot our state during that time when we did not exist. We have to remember!
How?
By observing nature, because nature was created by the creator.
When you make a book and i bu y your book, then, i will read it, look at your style, your intentions, your intelligence, your strong and weak points ...then, i will have an idea of who you are.
Same way, we observe flowers bloom, we don't see it when it actually opens up (i wish i can see that happen, it's magical), when we go to a rainforest or at the beach we feel refreshed. Because they are God's creation, we know that that God is working towards pro-survival...so we align all our goals to that one, so we take pro-survival goals as an individual, in our relationships, we do things that will uplift humanity, help the earth and it's environment etc.
By doing this, we co-create a life oif happiness...infinite happiness!

because Adam and Eve sinned against God, he threw them out of the garden. It was supposed to be just them until they sinned. God told Eve that because of her sin, she would suffer the pangs of chld birth. Thus the population began. We control our destiny by what we choose. Do we choose to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior or do we choose to go down the wrong path. Only you can choose your destiny because God has given man a free will to do what he will. It's up to you to choose the right path. Hope I helped.

when somebody can think such questions arise. If ants get the thinking brain imagine what would happen. No body is here for something, we are just here and will be out so don't think too much. If you still have questions do some social work, animal rehabilitation, environment protection your energy which you are wasting in thinking will convert into productive energy.

This is not true, god does not decide our destiny. Maybe he sets the framework of our birth and death, but we are free to do our best and achieve our goals.
It is like the game of cricket, the number of days and number of innings are already decided. But each batsman is free to do lot of runs, as per his efforts. Similiarly the bowlers, each can set his standards as per individual efforts, and accordingly they are appreciated.

Birth is nothing but to accomplished the task you were unable to complete in your earlier birth.
Now question is this why you took earlier birth.
Because you got rid of cycle of your 84000 birth you took as animal,bird and other creature of this world.
Now why you took those birth because nature is like that and creator whom you call god want to run his world like this.
Today's work is tomorrow's destiny.
This month's work is next month's destiny.
Childhood work is destiny of your teenage and so on.
If you go on like this ....your this birth work will become destiny of your next birth.
KARMA....
