Does everything good come from God, or do finite beings have actual creative power?

Answer 1

"one is often told that it is a very wrong thing to attack religion, because religion makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed it... You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world...
My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race. I can not, however, deny that it has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in early days to fix the calender, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle eclipses with such care that in time they became able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others" Bertrand Russell

Answer 2

There's probably nothing new under the sun (or is it Son) and if man came up with it, chances are God came up with it long before there was an Earth or Adam and Eve.

Answer 3

Would you not like to think that you have the power to create? I know that I do. That is not to discredit GOD, however, I know that I have the ability to make things happen.

Answer 4

If God is all, then he is in finite beings as well.

Answer 5
