Assuming that all the essential elements of your question are so, ie that god exists and that he has creation power, etc, then we can begin to answer the question.

whether he created EVERYTHING depends on how far you want to go with the god idea and what you're prepared to accept. for instance, if god created everything, then he created evil and suffering and is responsible for it. evil is not caused by some evil god (satan or something) but by god himself.

also, if we go back to elementary logic and look at some definitions we run into more trouble. that god created everything means the same thing as that there is nothing that god did not create, and therefore (assuming that god is something, which he must be) god created himself. now, that doesn't sound like it captures any plausible truth, now does it?

and yet, to state the opposite should be equally unacceptable for anyone who believes in a creating god. some people assert that god simply created MATTER and that it evolved, thus insinutating that god did not create everything, just base elements. such a proposition of an impotent god who is unable to create everything by fiat should be rejected by any self respecting god believing person. anyway, thats my two cents on that matter.

Well, if God didn't create everything than where did it come from?

And if God did create everything than where did God come from?

Here is my philosophy in easy to chew nuggets.

1) Everything that exists now has always existed in one form or another.

2) The stuff moves around constantly.

3) Time is infinite.

4) Humans are a random byproduct of the stuff moving around over time.

5) Humans created God.

Yes, I believe that God created heaven and earth...when I say God we really do not know where God came from because as good Christians we don't always ask. God could be an entity from another planet and we are His game board and players. I was brought up to not question God's existence...God just is! Well, curious minds want to know.
I believe we are created by God. That is all I can account towards this.

Its safe to say that the human body is too complex and an organized system to just had happened by chance. Look at our nervous system, think of all the things we as humans are capable of acheiving unlike animals. Just like building a car or constructing an impressive building that reaches the sky takes time, careful planning and design we were too. The seasons and time the sureness of the sun coming up and setting and then the moon its like clock work. The way the entire planet repairs and sustains itself is too advanced and just too precise to have just happened. An intelligent caring supreme being sat down and thought creating us throught down to the tinest noise hair, which has a purpose. Also just meditate on our taste buds how we enjoy different foods and enjoy different sensations or or even ours eyes the things we enjoy to look at beautiful people or the leaves and snow and the beaches all those beautiful and wonderful things were created for our enjoyment. My last one is the birth of a child the way a womans body was designed to sustain a life, even breasts were created to intoxicate men and to feed babies! Its all too incredible and to advanced to had happened by chance. Someone, God created this planet and humans to enjoy life, Its so sad that majority of the people living it up on this plantet dont even appreciate that fact.

If you believe in a god as the creator, & you feel good with that, I wouldn't dream of trying to change your mind. However, on this premise, if a god is the creator, then everything was created by that god. True? Question answered. YET. It's totally incomprehensible to ME that so many feel the need to fasten things down with an absoute (god created, oops, "my" god created...) when we've not touched the tip of the iceberg as to "knowing" anything, ABSOUTELY. I, personally believe that eventually, our little gray cells will evolve to the extent that all is as simple as a circle. Ultimately. LINEAR thinking pops up yet again! Answer when there is no question to answer, push pin whatever you prefer, on your wall. THIS IS THE ANSWER! IT SUITS ME SO VERY WELL. Believe whatever you want to believe; I will respect that even if I don't agree.

Edit: Oh well. Someone obviously didn't agree, & chose not to respect my logic. (Sob sob.) THANK YOU to the_supre, how articulate & LOGICAL. Most refreshing.

Here are a few texts that strongly indicate that he indeed made all things, which had pattern of life infused in them, that indeed can be duplicated but never created

(Hebrews 3:4) “4 Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but he that constructed all things is God.”

(Genesis 2:3) “And God proceeded to bless the seventh day and make it sacred, because on it he has been resting from all his work that God has created for the purpose of making.”

--Note the variety of things he created and the benefits from them that can be derived. This was recommended 3500 years ago by the biographer Moses, and only in our time has been taken seriously by the world:

(Job 12:7-9) “7 However, ask, please, the domestic animals, and they will instruct you; Also the winged creatures of the heavens, and they will tell you.  8 Or show your concern to the earth, and it will instruct you; And the fishes of the sea will declare it to you.  9 Who among all these does not well know That the hand of Jehovah itself has done this,”

--As to the celestial bodies, note the charge he has over them:

(Isaiah 40:26) “26 “Raise YOUR eyes high up and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one [of them] is missing.”

--"Dynamic Energy" has always been at God's disposal with such creation tool being used to control the universe. This was referenced by Isaiah 2500 years ago---it was only in our time that Einsteins equation E=mc2 that showed agreement with its premise.

yes. He created everything and then he created us humans to create many more things. God created us in his own image.

Yes. God made man from himself so anything made by man was created by God before man could even dream of it.

who created time? before time was created what is happening,
for me that must be the question and all other things follow.

But i believe there's God out there, its not supported by any means of evidence cause God i think did not create any scientific evidence to support his existence

i just can tell he exist, i feel him and i guess many of atheist do, they just ignore this feeling because maybe they think all things must be explained through science.

But one thing that we can ask our self, my awareness of myself my awareness of things surrounding me, is it science?
how can science explain your awareness, science can never make true awareness only recognition and memorization of binary numbers 1 or 0....

yes god created everything

God obviously didn't create himself. Makes you wonder what force or being is powerful enough to create a perfect and omnipotent being.
