Personally, I'm a man of Faith, but not Religion. I do believe in God, but I think every single 'man made' Religion, has either misinterpreted it(God), or is just way off base. I think the scripture has a lot to do with astrology, and we're just now beginning to understand it.
My only answer, is we came from the same place everything else did, the universe. With a proper microscope, if you zoom in on something as solid as a peice of rock or steel, all you'll see is vibrating molecules-particles-atoms-etc. Thanks to Quantum Physics, we now realize that EVERYTHING is just vibrating energy. I think 'God' is that ultimate pure energy. I do believe we were created in his image, which has nothing to do with physical, and more to do with intellect and consciousness. I don't think we're born in sin, but quite the opposite. I think it's this man made world that turns us into sinners in the power elites' conquest for world control.
So in short, I honestly don't know where we came from exactly. When did time begin? Is time a straight linear line, or a circle? Infinity is a hard question to answer. "if you think infinity's a long time, just imagine the day after it"....or before it in this case :-)

Well you're either going to trust in a book of faith or rely on a book of science or reject or accept both.
How do we find the answers? If I were a nonbeliever I would look at myself. And ask myself.
How did I have intelligence? How did I get the genes in my body for me to be what I am now? How could my body be so perfectly made? How come I need an entirely differently sexual being that is my species be here now at the same time as me and that it takes both of us to bring a new human being into this world? How did I get a a mind and that is different from my brain? How can I hear this voice in my head, when I read something to myself, and do not need the words come out of my mouth, to say them aloud?
How did my body evolve, a brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, legs, arms, muscles, bones, blood vessels, ears, eyes, nose, tongue, feelings in my skin, my mouth experience all the tastes and my mose remember all the smells that come to me? How can I have memories?
All these are questions about myself that I have that are found in either the book of faith or the b ook of science. Science does not explain how the universe was created. It does not explain how it is the laws of physics long before the mind of man discovered them. Scientists who discover the laws are called great. But they do not acknowledge that a wisdom beyond man crated these laws.
Well those are some of my thoughts. I hope they make sense. Have a good day..

I believe the Big Bang start with the end of another Universe, that's why the actual Universe is FINITE. The laws of nature (or physics) are the same in the micro and macro scales around the Universe. The dead of a start is abundant "life" to the formation of another stars and planets. The dead of a person or animal is only a part on the circle of life.
Where we come from? We are the sons of the stars.

I find it ridiculous, really, when people argue over whether or not we came to this earth through evolution OR through creation. What's the point of arguing? It's obviously a greater 'something', whether it is scientifically evaluated and explained OR religiously disputed. Does it really even make a difference to argue the whole thing? Perhaps, God IS science. Perhaps, God IS evolution. Perhaps, God IS belief itself. Does the theory of evolution OR its indisputable proof make me want to serve God any less? Should the discovery of proof cause me to laugh at God or anyone else's belief and insistence that it is something else? Who cares what religion somebody is or what belief they have, even if their belief is in science. We are all entitled to believe in whatever we so choose to believe in. I think of this life as a climb up the mountain for each of us, and whatever path you want to take to get to the top, whether it is your belief in evolution or your belief in creation, eventually we will all leave this world and face an Almighty being and face what is now unknown to us all. Whatever God you serve, be it Bhudda, Jesus or whomever, eventually we will all face THE ONE, and THE ONE is the one that I revere most. The person with claim that they don't 'believe' any of it, makes belief in their OWN claim. That IS a belief. It is no different than the principle of what religion itself is. When the atheist dies, they're going to find out just as naively as the next person. If it helps to pacify ourselves, let us make belief in whatever we so choose to. If it helps you to make your climb to the top, so be it, and I find that is a good thing. When you believe, you are reaching out beyond yourself. It brings to life your very mind and stirs your very soul. What difference does it really make whether mankind evolved or was created? Furthermore, we're arguing over how it all began! Maybe we should stop being so caught up in scientific reasoning as to how we got here, and think more about the possibilities of what it will be when we die.

God was once very targeted whilst he gave over 100 prophecies within the OT approximately the primary coming of Jesus Christ. They had been all actually fulfilled whilst Jesus got here the primary time. Therefore I have first-class trust within the prophecies related to his Second Coming. The Bible tells us that Jesus needed to be born in Bethlehem. The title of town was once given countless numbers of years earlier than Christ was once born. He have got to even be born of a girl who was once a Jew. Mary's family tree entails Jews. The Bible additionally says that the Messiah could be pierced (as Jesus was once at the pass), and plenty of different prophecies. The parties that have got to take situation whilst Jesus comes once more have no longer happened. When Jesus comes once more, He will pop out of the sky, shining vivid in order that no person might pass over Him. the sky might be darkish on the time, so each eye will see Him evidently. Your query is a well one. It is spoke back through paying awareness to the targeted main points approximately the occasion given within the Bible. We recognise the Son of God, the Savior of the World, the Judge of the Living and the Dead has come on the grounds that of the quantity of prophecy he flawlessly fulfilled. We recognise Jesus has no longer come the moment time on the grounds that the parties have no longer opened up in the best way the Bible states.

The struggle between finite and infinite. 'Evolve' is the greater command, 'Be' is the easier. Between humans the word is 'follow'.
http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/sl/slbeing.htm
'§ 85
Being itself and the special sub-categories of it which follow, as well as those of logic in general, may be looked upon as definitions of the Absolute, or metaphysical definitions of God: at least the first and third categories in every triad may — the first, where the thought-form of the triad is formulated in its simplicity, and the third, being the return from differentiation to a simple self-reference. For a metaphysical definition of God is the expression of his nature in thoughts as such: and logic embraces all thoughts so long as they continue in the thought-form. The second sub-category in each triad, where the grade of thought is in its differentiation, gives, on the other hand, a definition of the finite.'

We come from behind. But to hear some people today try to explain it, it seems like they got left behind.
It is as plain as the nose on your face. Why do your nose holes point down? because smells arise. \Why are a dog's nose holes in front? Because that is how its fact is laid out, so smells are in front.
We evolve. Plain and simple. We get better and better all the time, but as I said, it is hard to believe that some people ever improve their minds.

Biological material is just material, it was never alive, it only grows because it's copying the invisible creations from God. The matter and laws of this universe have spiritual counter parts, you cannot see them with the material eye, but only with IT"s counter part. God is in the center of this universe and that's were you shall return, when your biological machine breaks.

Quite literally, from the stars... All of our "stuff", as far as we know now, came from the leavings of exploded stars. That's our physical reality.
Metaphysically, we aren't so sure HOW we became intelligent (really?) beings. One good thing about science however, when new evidence shows itself, new ideas abound! One doubts the numerous "god did it" stories as our source since such tales lack emprical evidence.

If it was just us and no God, no heaven. I'd be afraid of death. But I know, trust, have faith that God is there. How he made us...He's the ulitimate scientist. He made all of creation. Does it make sense? No, but nothing like that would make sense to us. We're very simple creatures. We think we're smart, but we have no clue.
