In what ways did God create "Order" in the world?

Question

Write your own symbolic story of creation, showing how God created order in the world and how God's creation is good.

Answer 1

Well, I hope this is a sincere question, and you won't mock me, but I'll give a basic run down of how I see God as creating order...

I believe all things are created from intelligence... ie even atoms have a form of intelligence. Intelligence is eternal. Like matter, intelligence can neither be created nor made. Hence, we humans are as "without beginning or end" as God is.

God is God, because "intelligence cleaveth to intelligence" ie... one particle of intelligence is attracted to another. God thus became Intelligent long before we did. He brought order to this world by creating a universe of order.

My theory is our original, tiny, intelligences, came from a disorganised universe. God began to "create" this universe from pre-existing (eternal) matter, but he brought it into order. The law of gravity, the spiralling, orderly nature of galaxies, etc, all show the order which God has created.

Even on earth, we have order in terms of a planet that rotates, seasons that predictably cycle, lives that are "created" through natural means. This is all how God has brought order... The process of evolution is another example of this.

God starts with an infinity of very small things, and through enormous vision and wisdom, and a marvelous plan, creates something hugely immense and breathtakingly wonderful.

"...all things denote there is a God"

Answer 2

He wasn't on earth before he created it, because it didn't exist until those 6 days of creation. You want blunt, straight to the point of christianity advice? God does not have a mom. Jesus was sent to be born to Mary. God always existed, had no beginning, and has no end. That's the idea behind faith, is believing in something even though it doesn't make sense to us as humans. Is it easy? Hell no. But after having abandoned the christian faith myself, nothing else made sense.

Answer 3

Humans create order in the world.

Answer 4

Do you see the sun rising everyday? Four seasons? Ocean currents running smoothly then? He created a perfect home for us, but WE had other plans for ourselves. We want to govern ourselves and know right from wrong. Thus, chaos.

Answer 5

Structure and Order
The universe is controlled by fundamental laws of nature and constants of physics, also known as natural laws. These laws control gravity (how objects attract each other), electromagnetic forces (the attraction between positive charged protons and negative charged electrons, magnetic fields, electricity, radio waves, etc.) and the weak and strong nuclear forces (the forces that control the stability in atoms between the protons and neutrons in the nucleus). And these laws control how stars are formed, how chemical reactions take place, how and at what temperature water freezes and boils, how a match ignites, even how sugar and cream mix in our coffee. These laws control everything in our universe, and how nature works around us.
In the 1950s scientists started to study these laws and their relationship in depth. Many have become increasingly impressed, even amazed, by the extraordinary balance between the factors and parameters that control these laws. Since the 1980s much research has been published about what scientists now describe as how the universe appears to be fine-tuned for life.
For example, a gravitational force just a tiny bit stronger would crush human life on the earth’s surface. A tiny bit weaker and everyone would float into space.
These forces and constants are exactly right to make the Big Bang model work. To use the illustration of gravity once more: if gravity were slightly weaker, the expansion after the Big Bang would disperse matter too rapidly, preventing the formation of galaxies, stars and planets. If slightly stronger, the universe would have collapsed in on itself. Either way, we would not be here today![2]
According to Dr. Robin Collins in Case for a Creator[3], gravity is fine tuned to one part in a hundred million billion billion billion billion billion (1 in 1053). In his interview with Lee Strobel, Collins also explains the delicate balance between the masses of neutrons and protons, and the perfect relationship between the electromagnetic force and the strong nuclear force.
Astronomer Dr. Hugh Ross[4] has summarized work done by him and others analyzing this phenomena. He has produced a list of 35 characteristics that must be “set” to the exact value in order to support a sustainable universe. These factors include many of the constants that we recognize from formulas in our science class: the gravitational force constant, electromagnetic force constant, the charge of electrons, velocity of light, etc.
Research by Dr. Michael Denton[5] shows the unique characteristics of water and carbon to precisely support the requirements for living organisms. For example, carbon has an unusual ability to combine chemically not only with itself, but with many other elements, making possible the vast number of complex compounds needed by living cells. Several other elements – notably hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus – are unusually well suited to combine with carbon to form biologically active molecules (including the essential building blocks of life: amino acids, proteins and DNA). Hydrogen and oxygen also combine to form water. Most of the chemical reactions for life take place only in liquid water. Water’s ability to absorb and retain heat also buffers living things from sudden temperature changes. In Denton ’s words:
“Water is uniquely and ideally adapted to serve as the fluid medium for life on earth in not just one, or many, but in every single one of its known physical and chemical characteristics.”[6]
Assuming that this just happened by random chance is not realistic. How can there be laws without a lawmaker? Why is the universe so regular and predictable? It all shows the hands of a Intelligent Designer and Creator. Evidence of design surrounds us. As physicist, astro-biologist and author Paul Davies describes it:
“It is hard to resist the impression that the present structure of the universe, apparently so sensitive to minor alterations in numbers, has been rather carefully thought out… The seemingly miraculous concurrence of these numerical values must remain the most compelling evidence for cosmic design.”[7]
And in the words of Steven Hawking:
“It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us.”[8]
