A black hole is only a star that has collapsed to a tiny fraction of it's original size while maintaining it's same mass thus giving it intensely concentrated gravity producing an escape velocity exceeding light. Anything that crosses it's event horizon will be pulled in by that concentrated gravity including light and possibly time. The why part would be the same thing as why anything. I have new age beliefs in an intelligent and loving creator.

Everything in the universe came out of God and is a reflection of God's glory. What do I mean? Well the stars which God created are symbolic of believers or angels if you read the scriptures. And if you read the scriptures in Genesis 1, you will find the sun and the moon have a nature which reflects the Father and the Son. So, everything created is about God. As for the black hole in space there are scriptures which make reference to an outer or greater darkness. A black hole in nature is a center where a star used to exist but due a increase in mass, the star could not hold it's place in this plane of existence, so it collaspes on itself, leaving a void in space. The best way I could explain it is like taking an orange(which is a star) and placing it in the middle of a napkin. Then wet the napkin underneath the orange. Because the napkin is weak underneath, the orange will fall through it because of it's weight. Leaving a hole in it's place.

A black hole is a spherical region of space containing so much mass that the escape velocity within the region is greater than the speed of light. This causes spacetime to be so curved that all possible paths through spacetime curve into the center, so even massless photons cannot escape.
They are created when a large star has undergone enough fusion that its core has become largely iron, which is inert. This causes the outward heat pressure to drop such that gravitational attraction overcomes all remaining heat pressure, and the star collapses in on itself. This actually results in a secondary explosion that from the outside is seen as a supernova, causing some of the mass of the star to be expelled, but most of the mass collapses and creates the black hole.
No religion (atheist).

A black hole is a region of space that has so much mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a nearby object to escape its gravitational pull.
These days, they form from massive stars that become supernova. Their core regions implode, and no known force can withstand the force of gravity once the imploding mass gets close to its eventual size as a black hole; a size determined by the masses so-called Schwarzschild radius.
The cores of stars more than about 6 times the mass of the sun reach a condition late in their lives where the fusion reactions in their cores are producing such a high flux of neutrinos that the neutrinos carry away badly needed energy from the core. This causes the core to collapse and heat up as the reactions 'burn' at higher temperatures. This produces more neutrinos and the process runs away. As the core collapses, the density increases so high that suddenly the neutrinos can't escape, and within a few hours the bottled up energy causes the star to detonate. This produces a reversed shock that compresses the core matter beyond its mechanical ability to support itself. When it reaches a size equal to the black hole horizon size for that mass, it becomes a black hole as it explosively sheds the rest of its mass in a supernova.

You might wanna try Google, Wiki, etc., but I'll try...
The most basic answer is gravity / curved space acting on a *defined mass*. ... So if a collapsing star is of sufficient mass, the result will be a black hole; less that that will end up as something else, like a pulsar. IIRC, it's not terribly high, something less than 2 solar masses, but I'm not sure.
If you Google < "black hole" "solar masses" > I suspect you'll find that precise figure of just how many solar masses you need to create a singularity. ... Atheist.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Black Holes are caused by Stars collapsing in on themselves. This collapsed forms a very small dark matter star that has a heck of a lot of mass. This mass causes a tear in space and this tear also draws matter and light into it.

Black holes are Satan's way to deceive us as we insert other random inane pseudo-scientific ranting here and must resist temptation and walk the narrow path and have some more meaningless nonsense here that sounds threatening but not too threatening and keep His Holy Word.

Black holes are nothing more than a group of matter so massive that it's gravity is so strong that photons cannot escape.

Pantheist.
Black holes develop when a red giant (star) burns out in a big explosion which causes it to collapse into itself and creates a great vacuum.

They are tears in space cuased by excess force in a relativly small area;similar to pocking a hole in a piece of paper.
