Is it possible that god created...?

Question

Q 1 - The earth and heavens with the big bang?

Q 2- Mankind, and all life that exists today through evolution?

Q 3 - Science and set up the laws of physics?

Q 4 - Intellegent life on other planets?

God would not have told man this or included this information in the bible because we would not need to know. This knowlege would not be nessisary for our spirtual development as already stated in other questions. It does not need to be included in the bible to exist.

What are your thoughts?

(please use Q#'s in response)

Answer 1

YES! i have been thinking this for a while now, and i seemed like i was the only one who had that idea

Q1-the big bang is how the universe was made, and god made the universe.

Q2- yes. evolution is caused by mutations that are passed on through genetics. and mutations are freak things that are just created and by "mess ups" in genetics, how do we know that god didnt put those their on purpose in order to create a new species.

Q3- it is possible god created the universe in a cirtain way, that could have created the laws of physics to be a cirtain way.

Q4- their is a very big possibility considering that for every grain of sand on planet earth their is 10,000 plants in the universe.

if he told people about this, he would have to go through jesus, and if jesus told people these things in that age. they wouldnt have a clue what he was talking about

Answer 2

I have always found it fascinating that the creation story in Genesis is more in line with what science has learned than any other of the creation stories. First there was the universe, then Earth, then plants, then fish, then animals, then man. There are a few anomalies, like the sun being created after the earth, but by and large the story is amazingly accurate for being 6000 years old! The only real disagreement is the time scale. But then people didn't have numbers to count that high then.

I have often thought evolution could be God's tool to 'fit' life to earth through natural adaptation. The Genesis story has God creating all the animals in the same environment, the Garden of Eden, for Adam to name. But there are animals that live in the desert, in the tropics, in the arctic and antarctic, etc., that are well-adapted to those very different environments.

Answer 3

#1 Yes it is possible. Scientific and theoretical knowledge tell you only what happened right up to 10^-31 seconds after the big bag. that is 0.(30 zeros)1 seconds after the big bang. Before that it is pure speculation. Maybe we came from a previous universe, if so where did that universe come from. So maybe yes it is possible even if our universe came from another universe, it is possible that universe was created by a 'God'

#2 Again it is possible. Literal/New Age creationists believe that the earth is less than 10000 years old and that everything we uncover was placed there and created by God. However as stated by my first question, it is possible that we came about through evolution, yet the spark of "First Life" was set in motion by a phenomenon higher than ourselves.

#3 Science and all the laws of physics try to make sense of what we see in the world around us, rather than to write it off on some miracle maker in the sky. Yet for all we know 'God' could be a scientist if god did set up the laws of our universe that we strive to understand. So again it is possible.

#4 Again based on my answers of the above 3 questions it is possible that a 'God' created everything that we see and cannot see in this universe. Using the argument that just because we cannot see something doesn't mean its not there can be used here to argue for the existence of other intelligent life.

I have not gone into the pure scientific basis behind your questions as they do not foray into the area of 'God' vs 'no God'. There is not degree of absolute certainty that a 'God' can or cannot exist, however one can also make the argument of the 'Giant Spaghetti monster' or the tea cup in orbit around the sun. Just because we haven't seen them does that mean they don't exist.

Answer 4

Q1- possible he never said how just that he created the heavens and the earth Genisis 1:1 but the big bang theory says that out of nothing it evolutioned into something and thats dumb.
Q2- no evolution is a misunderstand ment i saw it on super nova that the "Dorwin" theory was a mistake but is covered up cuz they had found a rib and look at it but failed to see until now that it was actualy a horse rib that was damaged steped on actually, and besides wat about that "missing link" i mean after finding that out its like a maybe theory not fact.
Q3-God does have a lot to do with science youll be suprised i saw it on tv and yes physics is his invention, he creates order for his creation.
Q4- maybe so cant say much on that and its like u said we dont need to know this but if there is he makes sure theres order there too.

Answer 5

Interestingly enough, the big bang theory is the closest thing we can get to scientifically proving the existence of god (in whatever way you choose to envision god). All things came forth from the primordial atom--matter, energy, space, and time. But where did the primordial atom come from? What caused its existence, and what caused it to erupt?

It stands to reason that the easiest way to start creation would be to first create the laws of physics, then create a specific amount of compressed energy in an infinitely small point. Then cause the point to erupt, and allow everything to happen according to the laws you've created. If I were God, it's how I'd have done it.

Answer 6

It's all possible. DNA is what allows evolution to work. But DNA is such a miraculous, genius concept that it's hard to believe that it "evolved" all by itself. And much as scientists theorize about life beginning by chance from primordial soup, our experience so far is that only life itself begets life. The Bible is only the history of the Judeo-Christian people (up to about 60 AD), much of it mythical or embroidered, and not a text book. Most mysteries of creation are beyond man's comprehension. That's what theories are for.

Answer 7

Q1 Yes
Q2 Yes
Q3 Yes
Q4 Possibly

What you have stated is pretty much what I believe. I do believe in creation, but I believe God created all that we see and know through the processes you listed. For example, I find it easy to believe that God created life with the ability to change and grow over time to adapt to different environments, in short, evolution. In my opinion, God created the world, and the big bang is simply how he made it happen.

Answer 8

Q1 - Why not! The universe had a beginning, and why not a massive explosion of energy and matter! (although I think it is more likely something different than our specific definition of a Big Bang)

Q2 - Perhaps, but not likely. He created them as they are, and "of their own kind"

Q3 - Of course he did! Are they there now? Have they always been there? Then of course he created them! to govern his creation.

Q4 - Perhaps, no one can say absolutely "No" or absolutely "Yes."

So glad someone here has realized that God created science! It IS compatible with belief!

___
Edit: for Q2 - God did program all things with microevolutionary capabilities. It is macroevolution that I find unlikely.

Answer 9

Yes actually God did do all that.

See, what people don't understand is that Science is simply the study of God's Laws. Not the Ten Commandments now, but the Physics, Chemistry, Evolution, everything.

God is the creator of the earth and no amount of "scientific bullshit" could ever prove otherwise.

Answer 10

Q1 - if god is omnipotent, and the bible is the inspired word of god, either you believe it or you don't.

Q2 - this isn't what the bible teaches. so while it is possible, you have to assume there is a god and that the bible is wrong.

Q3 - science is usd to try and find how things work, and has nothing to do with god.

Q4 - that would make humanity less than god's special creation, according to those that believe he exists.
