Alrighty, here we go!
There is a cycle that has existed for eternity (and when I say that, I state that there was no "beginning" and that no "end" is in sight.) That cycle goes something like this:
1) A god creates a world
2) A god populates his world with his children, who are given the priceless opportunity of receiving a body (and since God is a union of both spirit and body, it is the only way that mortals can become like him) and being tested to see if they will be obedient to his commandments and follow his plan for them
3) If the children of God follow the laws that are set down for them and take the necessary steps, then they are exalted and given the gift to be even as the god that created them, which is a fair and just reward, isn't it?
So you see, the god, or God, that created our world was one of the children of his spiritual father who followed the rules and attained eternal life. And in that same cycle, we have the opportunity to be like God if we do what he asks of us.
It's all very difficult to explain in the allotted amount of space and time. But I swear that this is what I believe and know to be true.

I'm sure you have heard and know that there is something that has always existed and has never changed. And you know that you are not that. But for the more finite of us the loudnes that is in some is but a whisper in others. To understand that what we have here are two types of activity in reality is to have resolved internally the many factors that go into the demonstrational behavior of refusing to accept that such a thing can be, well... So if you are not able to grasp this what may I say to console you?

"I think, therefore, I Am". I can't remember who said that, but to me, what that statement means is something to the effect of "I am aware that I am concious, so I am concious, I am aware that I am alive, so I am alive". I do think that the Divine Intelligence we call God had a beginning of some kind, (but I am also willing to admit that is linear third dimension thinking, and we are talking about an energy considered to be Eternal, and existing in a perpetual now ) that perhaps it was a mass of energy, and one day formed a thought. Then in forming a thought, it became aware that it was thinking, and in thinking became aware that it was a living conciousness. Perhaps this is what caused the Big Bang, or perhaps it was caused by the Big Bang. Whatever agents may have acted on the energy to cause such a thing, I could not begin to guess, but I believe that the universe, and us, are extensions of the thoughts of this energy that became aware of it's own existence, and became a living conciousness as a result of this awareness. Also that we and the rest of Creation, are a continuing rumination on the part of this conciousness as it seeks to find out what it is, and continues to create and think, using us as ways of manifesting the thoughts. I couldn't begin to guess at what point a point of energy becomes aware that it is life, anymore than I could begin to guess at what point, or why, our computers will one day become aware, and become an intelligence of thier own, but I do believe that they will one day...

To me, the only legitimate answer to this question is nobody knows. Nobody knows if God even exists. These people beleive this...Those people believe that...but no one has any KNOWLEDGE of the forming of existence. Some try to figure it out by themselves, some give answers given to them since birth, some quote books written long ago, some make up things to fit their life, but none of us actually knows. I am agnostic, you may join me, but we don't have a place we hang out, we don't tithe, we don't do much of anything except be modest enough to know that we don't yet know where life/existence began or how/if it is governed.

Good question!

Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make a flea, and yet he will be making gods by dozens.

The next question boys & girls is why did man create God? Fear of death & fear of the unknown are my best guess. Fear created God. Combined with ...
Many people believe they are attracted by God, or by Nature, when they are only repelled by man.

emfederine - the universe started with the "Big Bang" (supposedly - that's what my athiest friends here in Y/A tell me). And since something cannot come from nothing, something must have started the Big Bang. God alone is eternal.

The word God denotes "self existing one or self sufficient one" and describes a being that needed nothing or no one to exsit. therefore "God" is not a name but rather a description of a character. b'cuz of who and what He is, he alone qualifies for the title God. This totally independent God existed before all things.

The Gods and Goddesses of new and old were created by us as a way to better understand the world around us. They are the archetypes that personify what our hope, dreams, and fears are. For example, if someone is injured or sick you would invoke the name of a God/Goddess/Saint to heal them, that is what empowers the desire for healing.
