But has merely rearranged, enhanced...ect, what God has already created?
Correct me if I'm wrong, what has man created that was not made from something that already existed?

You are sadly mistaken Jared, God created us all, yes, even you ;)

freezedried001500 you couldn't make any less sense, just because God made the metal the tools people use to murder babies in their mother's wombs with, does not make metal something God made to kill babies with. That's only common sense really.
God gave us the earth and everthing in it, we will be rewarded or punished according to what we do with what He has given us.
Some arranage God's creation to do horrible things, some for great things. That is free will.

Humans are only capable of manipulation and combination. In truth, the very concept of creation illudes us. To make something out of no preexisting matter.
As a magician this holds a special meaning for me. Our greatest goals are to make it appear that we've duplicated the Father's miracles. We spend lifetimes working on a pale immitation of what God did by speaking.
Humanity doesn't seem to understand the true nature of "creation". Even what you can manipulate into a structural form was not created by you. what holds that form together? You? Certainely not. Chemical bonds and the strong neuclear force hold the atoms together to create the object. Who created such forces? God of course.

There is nothing that man has made. This is a good thing to think about when we are questioning the universe and the meaning of life. It is a good reminder that God is the only true creator in life and that although we can be creative at times, we can not truly create.

Bear with me.
Let's say matter and energy are a constant.
God is perfect, omniscient, and obedient to all truth.
Understanding all truth empowers him to manipulate matter within the laws of truth.
He wills matter to assemble into what we see as the world, etc..
He sends his children to this place and allows them to walk their own paths with little intervention.
Will they seek Him, do His Will and become more like Him, or no?
Since they can take nothing with them from this existence to the next, all they have to present Him with is the children they have grown to be, their own selves.
Since He did not intervene directly, what they have become is of their own creation.
We present God with what we have become in life, what our children became under our guidance, and what those others we touched in life through our examples became.
That is what man creates, alone. The end result of his own decisions in this life. His gift to God.
So, in fine, all men, ( and women,) create one thing. A thing of enormous worth and great consequence.

Hence that would make abortion ok and anything else that religious believers state are wrong, are actually created by God. If God created everything, as theists believe, then they actually should follow their beliefs and go with him creating everything. Then if they go against or say something is wrong on the planet, they are going against their own Gods creation. They can not admit to that since it would take away their ability to criticize and throw around their opinions (likes and dislikes) and say that it actually is God telling them things are wrong.

The simple answer is God.
He didn't exist before the scammers invented him for their own means - there's good money to be made from religion IF you can keep a straight face.
Can you imagine believing in an Imaginary Sky Critter who says: Suck up to me or go to hell.
The Rule of Fear.
Do you know how God could be killed?
One meteor about half-mile across hitting the earth should about fix it, I reckon.

God and religion in general are only the collections of humanity's need to explain things that we don't yet understand. As far as I'm concerned, we created God to give ourselves purpose (although an empty one).

With your logic no man hasn't created anything he used materials from the earth and enhanced them. Not from god but from nature. So your half right using your logic. But how about words and math and things of that nature?
remember I don't believe in god so we are talking about what man created.

God/ Jehovah has life within himself and his creations are from his great powers. Man doesn't have these powers unless God gives them to him, as with Jesus, and a couple of prophets who also raised some dead.
It's foolish to think that man who lives by the grace of God, would have any power beyond that which his heart gives him.
When your heart stops, you wilt like a dead flower.

yes your right. God created everything from nothing, man makes things from what God has already created.
