How did everything begin?

Question

This is a question which has perplexed me.
Man evolved from ape, ape evolved from bacteria ect.
Where did the universe come from, how was it made?
Quite simple where did everything begin?
This is the only logical arguement for believing in a creator whether you call the creator god or not, personally i don't believe it the hypocracies of religion.

Answer 1

Here's what doesn't make sense...who created the creator?
You might as well say the universe always existed, with no need for creator. Just as you might say a creator always existed with no need for a grand-creator.
Confusing stuff.

Answer 2

You assume,
never assume, it makes an A-S-S out of U and ME ;-)

Firstly you assume everything had a beginning. Theologically most religions agree that God is eternal having no beginning and no end. Ergo, all of creation is part of God who is eternal.

There is a human distinction between the material world (detectable matter and energy) and the spiritual world (the personal domain of God). The material domain (most religions agree) is created and destroyed (in a similar manner that water can become ice, and then water again).

However, the building blocks of the material world are not destroyed, they simply change state. Some liken the spiritual world to the material world as the computer programmer to the program, but in essence both analogies refer to the same belief. Humans die, but they are not destroyed altogether (just turned into ash).

The main logical argument for the creator is one of design. The universe is filled with symetry and non randomness. Chaos does not rule, and so most folk would agree that the universe seems to have an underlying symmetry and design. Even at the sub atomic level, particles have a symmetry and act according to rules.

Is there really a logical case for no creator, I do not see it, for the symmetry of the nature is too complex to be a product of randomness.

How Did Everything Begin

Answer 4

As near as we can tell, everything started with the big bang. Which was all of space expanding from a single point. Now it may be a little hard to grasp, but there are two important points:

1. There was no actual "point", there was no space, you would not be able to look at it becuase there is nothing outside of it, nothing! Not even a vacuum.

2. This may have been the result of a previous universe contracting to a point, but now many scientists don't think it happened and rather it all started with the big bang.

What happened before is being probed right as I type. If there is a god, we may find proof there, but we have nothing substantial at all to even begin to ask those types of questions. So I stand by science right now and say it started with the big bang.

Answer 5

Name 10 things we use in daily life that just magically appeared or evolved from natural materials without man thinking and designing it first and then producing it and improving upon it. Maybe there is a GOD and HE doesnt want people to "study " him like bacteria but use the common sense HE gave them. All science has been able to offer is"well for some reason the universe came into existence all by itself because there is NO creator and that is NOT even open for discussion it just will not be accepted or the thought of it tolerated!Then everything just happened to turn out right for life on earth and everything as we know it all came from one celled organisms and it was all positive mutations which we do not see in people or animals today and etc etc etc etc blah blah blah blah blah. Hocus Pocus everything created itself for no reason it was all just accidental random chance accidents and all positive mutations which blow the laws of mathematical probability to hades. If you can name 10 things like a car a boat a tv set etc that came into existence by itself without people then maybe I can agree with your non creator theory.I mean cars are made from the materials on earth. So maybe Henry Ford found the first auto instead of invented it. History may be lying to us it has before right? SO maybe all the raw materials over millions of years evolved into the first model T and Henry just stumbled on it. It is JUST as credible as your non creator theory.

Answer 6

God made everything. He has no beginning or end. He made us. don't tell me i came from a monkey that came from a unicellular organism. i dont see how anyone can believe that all these mammals evolved in a few million years. all those mutations in such a short amount of time? come on.

just go outside. look at the sky. look at the trees. look at another person or your pet. you'll notice that life is so complex. how else could it all have happened if there were no God?

and you say religion is hypocritical. every person on this planet is a hypocrit. thats whats in our nature. please dont say that just because people are religious that they have to be perfect.

Answer 7

The most rational theory is that the first life form(s) began by chemical reactions. While the conditions for this reaction are very improbable, one must understand if matter has always existed (which science would lead us to believe) there has been an infinite amount of chances for this chemical reaction to take place across and unfathomably large universe.

Answer 8

Many may claim to know but no one has definite proof and as a result there are many different explanations for the origin of everything. Personally I believe the big bang started it all and that the big bang was caused by divine forces at war with one another.

Answer 9

As we achieve greater understanding of our surroundings, there's less of a need to explain things through some sort of divine source. However, since the prevalent theory is that the entire universe "emerged" from some singularity approximately 13.7 billion years ago, the question of how that happened will probably puzzle us for a long time.

Answer 10

So many questions, can you narrow it? Man did not evolve from Apes, but is it so far fetched to see that we came from a similar ancestor? To believe in a creator means that you must weigh in how that creator was created.
