The battle for truth is on. Five thousand years of recorded history, YET earth is over 4.5 "billion" years old. So where was the human species for 4,999,995,000 years? Think about it. If we did not EVOLVE, where did we come from? Most say "God." But where did "it" come from? All this aside, if by nature we were all evil, would humans exist? Would they exist if we were all "good?" IF everyone were evil for sure no human would exist, but would it not apply to the good also? OVERPOPULATION, STARVATION, and resources depleted.
The "good" would not be so good for long. Despite how we as humans are by nature, are we not PERFECT just the ways we ARE? Tell me what you think.......

We are perfect in our imperfection. However what defines perfect? We as humans define perfect, therefore we are imperfect by our own standards? What defines human? We define human and in defining human there are those humans who no longer qualify. What kind of perfection defines itself even out of its own catagory?
Your answer is that no creation is ultimate. Our creation cannot be ultimate because we are already working with a flawed beggining. we don't even know where we came from. If you don't believe this on its face ask yourself how many automobiles have NEVER broken down at some point in time.
Our imperfection dictates where our society will head. A truly perfect society would not have overpopulation, starvation or a depletion of resources. A perfect society is built on perfect ideals.
Perfect ideals come from the beauty that resides within us. True beauty is untainted like a child, it is only vice that taints us after we leave the womb. Therfore a perfect society will not have vice. In order for vice to be non-exsistant we as humans must eradictate vice. To eradicate vice we must eradicate ourselves, thus to be perfect, is to not exist as human.

Hmmm....you want a lot of answer in a little space!
Humans are NOT the ultimate creation. Maybe by some parts of the definition, humans would qualify, but given this : ultimate meaning- representing or exhibiting the greatest possible development or sophistication. No, not by a long shot. That would be the earth....no matter what humans have ever done to it, the earth has found a way to continue. If humans disappeared, the earth would continue. How much more sophisticated can you get, how much more developed, than a non-sentient thing that can and does continually renew itself, thrive, change and evolve?
Perfect is not a word that can be applied to humans, nor to humanity. As long as there is a single difference, then perfection is missing. Why would humans want to be perfect? I surely wouldn't. Humans pride, arrogance and utter belief in humans as the ultimate creation is what makes this poor world of ours doomed.

i agree with what aidan said,, plus, why would you think if we were all "good" that the earths resources would be depleted? good would not mean overpopulation,,,, it might even mean more birth control,,,, and control over our urges,,, even good would be relative, what is good to one, might not be to another,,,,,
you mention recorded history,,,,,,, humans were around for a very long time before then,,,,,, i personally worry less about where i came from,,,,, but where i am now and where i am going (in this life),,,, while we might can get some hints, i dont think any of us can truly know,,,,,, we have evolved, are still evolving, we are taller now then we were,,,,,,, who even knows if there were some humans evolving here, and some more came from outer space and mated,,,,,, that is one theory,,,,,,

Most monotheists seem to think we are God's ultimate creation - we were, after all, "created in his image". Personally, I think that's typical of humans' egocentric view of the world and life in general. We are far from perfect and are unlikely ever to achieve it. We are but one evolving species on one little planet near a burning little star at the lonely end of the universe.
(P.S. Although we are clearly imperfect, most of us can read sentences without quite so much UPPER CASE emphasis.)

The ultimate creation will be our creation, but it'll take a while before we get there. The big Q is: What shall we create?
Enjoy!

You and existence itself are physical evidence of God's existence. For God created existence from Himself.
E=mc2 is the conversion of light into mass (or matter). For all energy originally consisted as light. God is Light and consists as Conscious Energy; and God is the Light from which all energy is made.
The Meaning of Life is the answer to this question:
God, what is Your purpose of Existence?
For God's purpose of Existence itself defines the purpose of all that exists.
I asked God that question...
God answered, "My purpose of Existence is To give life. Since you are made in My image after My likeness, then YOUR purpose of existence is to give life."
Everything that exists is an expression of God's thinking; thus, everything reflects God's thinking.
God gives life by His unique existence, and receives life when He gives life. All of existence gives life by its unique existence to that which receives life from its unique existence. This is Nature - the union of all living (eternal) things.
You are here to give life by your unique existence to that which receives life from your unique existence. So do what you love that nourishes those who love what you love.
This is your purpose.
According to the Big Bang theory, scientists assume that the universe began as a singularity the size of a marble that fits in your hand.
How is it possible to fit the ENTIRE universe in a marble?
The Big Bang theory suggests that the origin of the universe began as a singularity - a primeval atom. If the universe actually did begin as a primeval atom, where did it come from? And if the primeval atom did exist as a singularity, how is the Big Bang mathematically possible if 1+0=1?
Which means that if the primeval atom exists as a singularity and there is nothing else to add to it, then shouldn't the universe still exist as a primeval atom according to this mathematical principle?
And if such a primeval atom exploded the universe into existence, how could it consist in the first place if it existed as a singular instability? - which means that the singularity was unstable and blew up (if this is the case, how long was it stable and what caused the instability if it existed as a singularity and there was nothing else there to unbalance it)?
To look at things differently is to see things clearly.
The universe is a non-linear construct from The Infinite. The universe has a beginning but it has no end...
More explicitly...
God caused all existence to altogether consist simultaneously at once...thus, the universe is a non-linear construct from The Infinite.
How is this possible? Simple... E=mc2 (The conversion of light energy into matter).
ALL MATTER CONSISTS OF ENERGY.
Where does this energy come from? A primeval atom the size of a marble? Do you REALLY think that is physically possible?
If E=mc2 is the conversion of light energy into matter, and all matter consists of energy...then all matter originally consisted as light.
Where did this energy come from? Light.
If energy came from light...and GOD IS LIGHT...all energy came from God!
If God is Light...and Light is energy...
What does God consist of?
E...N...E...R...G...Y...
E=mc2
If God says, "I am the beginning" God is saying, "I am the raw material from which all existence consists." Thus, God Himself is the Light from which all matter is formed...
God is E=mc2
Genesis 1.1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
"In the beginning" means "From Eternity"
If Eternity has no beginning nor end, and God has no beginning nor end, God is Eternity.
Genesis 1.1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
When was the heaven created? In the beginning.
When was the earth created? In the beginning.
So if BOTH the heaven AND the earth were created in the beginning, the heaven and the earth were BOTH created simultaneously!
THUS, THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH ARE THE SAME AGE!
So the earth IS over 65,000,000 years old!
Genesis 1.1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
If "In the beginning" means "from Eternity", and God IS Eternity, AND GOD IS THE BEGINNING, "In the beginning" means "In God". So Genesis 1.1 actually says, "In God, God created the heaven and the earth".
Why didn't Genesis 1.1 say "At the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" as if related to time like "At 1:00"? Because "In the beginning" is "from Eternity" where there is no time. AND "In the beginning" is BOTH a moment AND a location.
How? God is Omnipresent. NOTHING can exist OUTSIDE OF GOD, thus everything exists WITHIN God. SO, "IN the beginning" is actually "WITHIN the beginning"; which is actually "WITHIN God, The Beginning".
Thus,
Genesis 1.1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
or
Within, God The Beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.
God is Spirit. Angels are "spirit" beings. God created angels from Himself.
The same way God formed angels from Himself, so formed He existence...
With one thought.
God has no beginning. He has no "first thought" as if He had a beginning. God's infinite knowledge itself is one thought.
Omniscience is infinite knowledge as one thought.
Omnificence is unlimited creative power.
Omnipotence is infinite power.
Omnipresence is infinity itself.
Put them together, what do you get?
Unlimited creative power applied to infinite knowledge that is expressed everywhere at once with a single act of infinite power!
Or
God creating existence from Himself with one thought!
E=mc2
Genesis 1.1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
or
Within, God The Beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.
or
Within, God The Beginning, God formed from Himself, Existence, with one thought - causing all existence to altogether consist simultaneously at once.
Thus, the universe is a non-linear construct from The Infinite - God Himself. The universe has a beginning but it has no end.
Which is why the background of the stars is black.
Learn to look at things differently is to see things clearly.
Existence itself is created from God's physical existence. Yes God does physically exist, He is just physically different.
How do I know all this, simple...
I asked God this question...
What are you made of?
His answer...
Energy.
And that was the beginning of my instruction directly from the Creator...
