Why do you think we exist?

Question

I believe in the lord, i believe God created us, for all those who have no religion or faith, or just flat out don't believe in God , then how do you explain how we came to live here on earth?....I am not the type to shove religion down peoples throats just trying to see others points of views.....how do you think we came to exist if you dont' believe in a higher power?..thanx

Answer 1

I know exactly what you're saying, I believe in God and that he created Earth, I mean come on people who believe in Scientology and crap, people that say we evolved, what did we evolve from then, where did what we evolved from come from? It sure didn't just appear out of nowhere.

Answer 2

see you are a perfect example of what sets people with brains above those with brains of houseplants that ask this kind of thing.

Science and logic are the "search for the truth". The answers gotten must be supported by some evidence and testing. There is no problem with saying "I don't know but lets do some testing and find out".

Religion on the other hand is the search for "answers" there is no concern for truth or if those answers are correct. Thus in a religious mindset x + y can equal 2 because no one cares if it is right or wrong or backed by proof, just that the space is filled in to make people feel better.
religion makes the simple minded feel better because with an answer- even an unsubstantiated one, they feel that they have some control over thier lives as they gain a feeling of importance and self-worth because thier unsubstantiated beliefs tell them that they are "special" among all the creatures on the earth.

EDIT: you want to pray go pray, but don't have any illusions that anything you believe in is anything more than a "belief" or "faith". not fact.

Answer 3

Does empty exist or non-exist? If complete exist, then does empty exist or non-exist? ~~~ Empty in road vernacular, such because the cup is part complete and part empty. It is most likely fully complete, part of water and the opposite part of air! So, sure, there may be 'complete' and 'empty'. Ultimately, there are neither. Both are effortlessly imaginary phrases to explain the speculation of what we see. Is it 'complete' of water? How near will the magnification get earlier than you claim it honestly empty? The most effective change is an issue of Perspective and proposal. Everything exists!

Answer 4

The universe developed via natural processes that formed the galaxies, stars, planets and life. How it all came about - I really don't know. But we are here and we can easily have meaning and purpose in our lives as well as happiness without the need for some Father figure to have created us.

There may be a god and there may not - no one knows for sure IMHO.

Answer 5

According to Gita, God's creation of human beings is the best among all creatures created on this world. The human beings on this earth are supposed to do their destined jobs. As a Hindu I believe in Fate and it decides destiny of any human being. Whatever a person did, thought and spoke will have effect on his nature in this birth and so on . . . We exist in this world to complete our destined job prescribed by God.

Answer 6

Kinda complicated to explain here but the evidence suggests that the universe as we know it began about 13.75 billion years ago with what we refer to as "the big bang" for lack of a better word. Earth came along about 4.5 billion years ago and when the dinosaurs became extinct about 65 million years ago, mammals were finally able to thrive and from there humans evolved into the homo sapiens that we are today. At least that's what all the evidence suggests.

Answer 7

I will ask anybody who doesn't believe that humans have a purpose to answer one scientific question. If nature, is basically an eco system, where everything is there to support one part of the system or another, then we must have been created, or evolved to suit some purpose, don't ya think?

Answer 8

I believe we exist for purposes known only by god. I really can't answer that...... But if we must give a why..... God Probably made a bet with the little angel that thought he was better......... The bet was.........I (GOD) bet you (DEVIL) that i can bring more souls home then you do.. hehehehhehehe

Answer 9

matter has always existed in some form - in the same way that your god has always existed.

no need to explain where the matter came from in the same way there is no need to explain where your God came from

Scientists can explain a lot of the stuff that happened between the big bang and the present though.
