Metaphorically speaking, of course, it seems to me that the act of creation ended when mankind started, and no amount of loving God (the natural processes of the universe) can address man's inhumanity to man. Civilization is fundamentally unnatural (i.e. removed from God) and cannot be accepted. Civilization is a perversion. Civilization is evil.

Civilization is evil?? It sure has brought a lot to the world of humans. Without it we would not have been able to work together to solve different problems, or educate our children. I don't understand where that's coming from...
But Man definitely invented society, because it's been around much longer than religion itself. There were clans in Africa about 15,000 years ago, before we even dreamed of a written language (or religious documentation for that matter) that were some 200 to 300 strong. And just about all mammals on the planet seem to have a "society" of sorts, or at least a kind of common intrigue with one another, so I think civilization is an adaptation that humans have created to further themselves, sometimes at the cost of destroying other parts of this wonderful world. (too hippie?)
Interesting question though...

God created man and man chose to rebel against God by listening to God's enemy, the devil.
We have all inherited this rebellious nature against God. This is a world gone wrong.
God made all things good. Sin entered the world thru the sin of Adam. With sin came death, disease, etc. We became God's enemies.
But God did make a way in which we could be reconciled with Him.

The modern civilization is the product of men's curiosity and creativeness. Inventions were made to give benefits to our living although there are sideeffects like pollution and destruction of our wildlife and environment. Men's quest for happiness and comfort will be the continuing order in our lives

Man first created God, and if that was not enough, Man went on and created Civilization.

Didn't God create everything, like the Bible says?
Didn't He create every bad thing as well as every good thing, or was the Bible wrong about that? Does God need us to give Him a pass on this one?
Either way, what does that say about God? And about the Bible? Food for thought...

Modern civilization is far greater than you might expect. We live a life of luxury compared to our ancestors and it has nothing to do with a real God but with human nature.

the 1st sentence capacity, he thinks that is stunning that the U.

And he would be happy while people understand further and extra that they have got particular rights that no government can eliminate, simply by fact they're primary rights that each physique people are born with (it particularly is what he capacity with the aid of "organic rights"). And he says those organic rights do not conflict with our responsibilities to society. i will understand why you had difficulty understanding it. It makes use of lots of massive words yet isn't very of course expressed, for my section.

God made man and man chose to create the things that are not natural.
No one but God really knows what is right and what isnt...who are we to try and read the mind of God? Who are we to judge?

civiliazation is the means by which we survive and if created by a deity it would have been predicted.
if there is a deity it seems nonsensical to think the way we would survive would not have been in the plan
