If an artist made a sculpture or painted a painting, then who made the universe?

Answer 1

God!

Answer 2

You ask this question in a form which seems to imply that you wish to see a person's name entered as a response, as in,
"Wilfred R. Turnbuckle."

Because you have asked the question in this manner it is very obvious to me that you have no idea of the immensity of the Universe, the massiveness of the various objects within it, and the gargantuan forces at work within it. The ability of any person or diety to have created all of this is without a doubt sheer fantasy and should be placed in its appropriate category over in mythology. The Universe did not just happen one Tuesday a long time ago at the behest of some person. It is billions of years old and of far greater in size than you can possibly imagine.

The most learned people of our present day Astronomical Science have stated with authority that the "seeable universe" is 40 Billion Light Years deep in all directions from Earth. "Seeable" means that with our current optical and radio telescope technologies we can only see that far out there. Beyond that distance our equipment fails to provide us any useable information. That is not the end, as some might assume, that is just as far as we are able to see with present day equipment.

Various radio carbon dating processes have been used to determine the age of the Earth. Those tests have placed the Earth at roughly 4 Billion Years old. Mankind, on the other hand, seems (there is some argument) to have been around for only about 5,000 years. So, there is no one around who can supply you with a definitive answer to your "who" question except those wishing to parrot back to you various mythological or theological tales about the event of creation.

I hold no qualm with those persons. I only wish to point out that those stories were told in times when people lacked good educations and the modern day technology to search the skies and discover the truth about space. Don't laugh at those people. Just accept what they say as an ancient tale, and let it go at that. Keep right on trucking...

Believe me, there is a heap of difference between some sculpture or painting and what is out there in Space. Purchase any good, modern book on Astronomy. Take it home and read it cover to cover. Then, and only then, come back here and ask a reasonable question.

There are NO answers to questions like "In the beginning...what", "Before the Big Bang....what." and "What is at the end of Space...." There are only theories. And, you can get them by the dozens. They won't do you a bit of good at the bank, grocery store, Gasoline Pump, or the Used Car Lot.

Answer 3

well if an artist made a sculpture or painted a painting, then who made God?

I mean, clearly if us puny pieces of miniscule space dust are too complex to have arisen naturally, then a God who could create the universe in all it's splendor and size from sheer will would much more certainly need to have a creator.

Answer 4

Well, for this, one possible scenario can be found if we fall into M-theory (String Theory).

Let us begin.
In M-theory, there are 11 dimensions.
The most fundamental particle is a string.
These strings can expand into "membranes" as they gain energy.
There is no limit to the size of these membranes.
If enough enery was collected, they could become large enough to case a universe.
Strings may be open ended or form a loop.
If they are open ended, each end can stick to the membrane and can be seen as matter in a universe.
If two membranes collide repetitively, our calculations break down, just as with point zero of the big bang theory.
Conceivably, the collision of 2 membranes could result it the explosion of matter in a universe.
Thus, it is conceivable that the universe was created by the collision of two membranes in M-space.

A better explanation of this can be seen in "The Elegant Universe".

Answer 5

Just a painting is created does not mean the universe was created. Would you ask, if an artist made a painting, who made the sun rise this morning? Same fallacy.

Answer 6

nobody made the universe. it's just something that happened over millions and billions of years. planets are made by gases and whatever else. and space... that's exactly what it is, space, empty nothingness. people, even scientists, try to figure out where space ends and the truth is space doesn't end. i don't care what anyone says it doesn't because if you think about it who came up with time? humans did. start finish beginning end that's all us. that's why its so hard for us to comprehend forever and never ending. if you look into space what do you see? nothing right just black. well that's because there's nothing there its just space. here's an example think of your house okay look at the walls. the walls is what stops space from one room to the next now what if you take away the walls... space just keeps going until it hits the wall around the house... an object.

Answer 7

This is a religion question.

I say, God made the universe but I also ask you who made God?

If you say that God didn't need to be made, God just always was, then I ask you why the universe needs a creator when God does not? Could the universe just have always existed?

And if you say someone else made God then I ask you who made that someone else. As you can see, this line of questions has no ultimate answer.

Answer 8

Mere mortals like you and I make sculptures and do paintings. Mere mortals like you and I do not have the capacity to make a universe. In other words you're comparing apples to oranges.

Answer 9

MJR beat me to it but you have asked a question that is a paradox,because religious people can't think any further will say because he was always there, but that is not really a answer.
Now if you can answer this question? Since you cannot create something from nothing, and God created everything who or what created God. If anyone can answer this question with proof they would become as revered as any man living before.

Answer 10

The creator of the universe is known by many names as God, Allah and Paramatma etc.

Answer 11

The first portion of your question has no bearing on the second.
