Is the "creation" of the universe, Earth, and/or humans, God's last stance?

Question

As science improves, most people now understand that things we observe like planetary motion, disease, weather patterns, etc., all have scientific explanations and don't require the belief in a divine being. Why hold out for a divine explanation on "creation?" Is it because these are harder issues to explain/understand scientifically, or is it that humans need to have a reason for being?

Understand, I personally am not an atheist, because I allow for the possibility of a divine presence, I just doubt there is one. If you answer this question by saying that God's presence can be ascertained by the big questions of creation, do you also believe that God is "responsible" for a tsunami that kills thousands, or a horrible disease that effects children?

So let me get this straight from some of those who answered: What God creates he can destroy, so that even though people are devastated by a child dying, it's God's "right" to do or allow this, especially since the child will go to heaven anyway (which begs the question why "create" the child in the first place, and what kind of God would cause such pain). Weather patterns can be God's doing, but not necessarily, and some of these, in which thousands of innocents are killed, are sent by God as a "warning" to us, and in some connection to our original sin.

How strange that you people actually believe in this nonsense. But worse than that, is that you (or we) have created a God that is mean-spirited, vindictive, and arbitrary.

Answer 1

I could argue (and do) that humans created the big bang and point to technological advancements here and now as real evidence.

Every week a scientist is interviewed saying "he doesn.t know" the consequences of a experiment using whatever particle accellerator - and it could result in a "big bang".

If we are worried about creating a big bang, was the big bang that created us man made?

Answer 2

God created the earth and all that is in it and the universe...science is a way for us to understand how he set it up, what laws of nature there are, how do the process's of life work, what forces are to be found in nature, what are chemicals made up of, how do diseases work and on and on. Science should be a way to show God's magnificence and intelligence in designing our world and the rest of the universe but some would have us believe it all happened by itself. It's a faith in something that cannot be proven and is just as much a religion as any other only they call it science. God's original creation was perfect until sin entered the world through Adam and Eve and ever since the world has been slowly decaying. Disease, natural disasters and death are all part of the decay of a once perfect world because of sin. Some calamities like floods and hurricanes and such are called "acts of God" because they are not man-made but natural disasters--- they are just a result of a natural process of climate or geophysical condition. To be sure, God has the power to send storms and floods and any thing else if he chooses---he has power over nature as described in the Bible...Noah's flood, Jesus walking on water or calming a storm, etc...---but not every natural disaster is caused by God.
The basic problem is how to answer "How did life start on earth or how did we get here?" Science does not have any good answer for this so it's either believe in God or aliens came and started things here. Life or any living organism no matter how small or simple, cannot just start by itself, it's too complex. DNA and genetic science is just starting to find that out.

Question 1 is no. God goes on for ever and he is doing a lot. Question 2's answer is if you believe in the Big Bang theory that's fine. But God made the bang then. Question 3 's answer is Tsunami is a natural occurance on earth. Question 4 's answer is a disease that effects children is a terrible tragedy but God takes the children that die right into heaven because they are innocent. They do not have to accept or deny him because of their innocence they readily accept him. They are with him now. And if you want to know about free will. That's what it is free will. You can do what you want to and some people do bad things. They will have to answer to God for them someday. And eternal life is for everyone. Good and bad. You can go to heaven or hell and they are both real places. But Hell is not nice at all. It is at the very least torture forever.

Answer 4

The Heavens claim the Glory of God. Also, his ideas and methods are as prime above us because the heavens are above the earth. Since that may be thousands of sunshine years, I believe God rather does have a humorousness. Makes you believe instead insignificant, does not it? I'm definite it nonetheless would not make an atheist ever believe humble. He nonetheless loves each and every one among us, or even is aware of what number of hairs are for your head. Awesome, is not He? Just the truth that you'll be able to even arise with this query, proves how strong God rather is. Of direction, if we got here from molecules and monkeys, we would not recognize whatever had been precise. A mind that has survival significance would not recognize good judgment from a gap within the floor. Kinda kills your complete worldview, does not it? Atheism and evolutionism are self-defeating, and unhealthy for technology.

Answer 5

well lets see how you can be answered ...as for scientific explainations....there are a few still unanswered...and this required the belief of the devine being....EG: what existed before the big bang....what caused the big bang...the existence of earth as a matter of fact is a co-incidence...had earthe been a bit far or a bit closer we wud see a different eath altogether....science has still unable to create life...or even give life to the dead...science cannot understand consciuouness...if we evolved from monkeys where did we get the understanding suddenly...questions still unanswered...i guess where there is no reason ...and cannot explain we comprehend as gods work...

well if you read the bible you will know bout the curses that moses bought along when the people of israel where not freed...though not as dramatic as then...theses tsunamis/cylcones can be classified as acts of god....but there are warnings too and god cannot be blamed for these deaths...Eg: we continue to live below active volcanos..as lands are fertile...even though we know life is at risk...we continue to ignore the warnings god gives...i suppose these deaths are simply the ignorance that people show against gods warnings...dont you remmeber NOahs Arc...cheers.

Answer 6

Becasue all the things you mentioned come from a designer. The scientific impossibilities of this world being created this way by random chance are so astronimical, its not funny.

As I've said on another question - God created all life, and, therefore, has the right to take it. If you created a work of art, you would have the right to destroy it at any time, even if it was regarded like the Mona Lisa or David.

Answer 7

I am not going to argue with you on this, not worth it and it is done every day here.

However, "all have scientific explanations", is really not true statement.

Science has created many Theroies to explain the universe. Many withstand the test of time for years, and most if not all change as our knowledge grows.
