Atheists. If u don't believe god created the world how do u believe the world was created?

Question

P.S. Not a bashing question. Just curious.

Answer 1

The Earth formed as part of the birth of the Solar System: what eventually became the solar system initially existed as a large, rotating cloud of dust, rocks, and gas. It was composed of hydrogen and helium produced in the Big Bang, as well as heavier elements ejected by supernovas. Then, as one theory suggests, about 4.6 billion years ago a nearby star was destroyed in a supernova and the explosion sent a shock wave through the solar nebula, causing it to gain angular momentum. As the cloud began to accelerate its rotation, gravity and inertia flattened it into a protoplanetary disk oriented perpendicularly to its axis of rotation. Most of the mass concentrated in the middle and began to heat up, but small perturbations due to collisions and the angular momentum of other large debris created the means by which protoplanets began to form. The infall of material, increase in rotational speed and the crush of gravity created an enormous amount of kinetic heat at the center. Its inability to transfer that energy away through any other process at a rate capable of relieving the build-up resulted in the disk's center heating up. Ultimately, nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium began, and eventually, after contraction, a T Tauri star, ignited to create the Sun. Meanwhile, as gravity caused matter to condense around the previously perturbed objects outside of the new sun's gravity grasp, dust particles and the rest of the protoplanetary disk began separating into rings. Successively larger fragments collided with one another and became larger objects, ultimately destined to become protoplanets. These included one collection approximately 150 million kilometers from the center: Earth. The solar wind of the newly formed T Tauri star cleared out most of the material in the disk that had not already condensed into larger bodies.

Answer 2

The world formed/coalesced from stellar material. It wasn't "created." Saying that it was created is where you are getting confused. You can't understand how anything could be "created" without having a creator, but if you simply change the way you see it and say that the world formed, you may clearly understand that it didn't HAVE to have a creator.

It's like saying "WHO put the sky up there?" You've already biased yourself to believe that it had to be done by a conscious being. A more correct way to ask this question is "How did the sky come to be?" This way, the answer doesn't HAVE to have anything to do with a sentient being.

It's all about human ego. If something happens, man can't see far enough past his own limited perspective to understand that it didn't have to be done consciously. This is part of why religion seems natural. People WANT to believe that everything has a purpose, otherwise, "it must not have a purpose," and that depresses or confuses some people.

And people like to oversimplify. Which is easier to pursue: science or religion? One, you have to find your own answers; the other, you just follow the rules that have been laid out plainly for you. Did God create stalagmites and stalactites by hand? No. They formed. Something that exists doesn't necessarily need a conscious creator; only the laws of physics.

Answer 3

I don't believe that God created the world. That is, I do not believe that the world, and everything in it, was created by an omniscient, omnipotent Supreme Being in 7 days 4,500 years ago.

I don't know how the world came into being, nor can anyone know for certain, but I believe that modern scientific ideas are closer to what actually happened than the account in Genesis.

In other words it's possible that, in a universe already billions of years old, the planet Earth was formed out of a cloud of cosmic gas and fire which eventually cooled and solidified, and that at some point during the 4.5 billion years since this happened, life began to evolve, starting with single-celled organisms and gradually leading to the complexity and variety seen today.

However nobody really knows what happened and in any case, with science changing its viewpoint over time the theory in a few hundred years will probably be very different from today's.

Answer 4

Nature its self created all issues and all life via the completed universe. Why do you have faith a supernatural being that looks like a guy is in charge for coming up nature?

Answer 5

Interstellar nebulae are well known in astronomy. Garvitational anomolies exist within these clouds. Mass attracts to the greatest mass and also eventually will cause rotation in the cloud. Eventually enough mass will accumulate simply due to gravitational attraction, that the pressure inside this mass will be sufficient to fuse hydrogen into helium. A star is born. The light pressure from the star, rotation of the remaining cloud etc. eventually will accrue into planets. Planets nearer the star should contain heavier elements, plantets further from the star lighter elements. Any decent astronomy site will give u a better picture than this, but in a nutshell this is the mechanism.

Answer 6

They cannot without fabricating the evidence and then Brainwashing themselves into believing their own lies.

You see God exist in Eternity, without creation, Time , itself was created by God as He does not need it.
You know, it's funny, an Atheist can accept that the Universe came about from a "Big Bang" that came from the Nothingness, but cannot accept God existance.

Answer 7

If creationists believe God created the universe, who created God?

Answer 8

I don't know for sure as I can't time-travel. Cataclysmic physical processes seem to be behind the forming for the Earth.

I do find that scienctific discovery has upturned more interesting propositions and theories than have all the successive primitive, anthropic mythologies to date.

I'm more interested in fact and truth than 'belief.'

If I can't ascertain a fact to my satisfaction, then I personally find it more honest to speculate rather than to 'believe'.

Answer 9

I don't believe the world was created. I believe it results from the laws of mathematics.

Answer 10

Ok first of all the round balls we call planets n stars, and vegetation + creatures on this planet....= 2 completely different things...

I think this universe is eternal.
The mass in this universe is sometimes energy, or light.
They can change from one to the other....

But it is all us....life is light. Inertia is darkness. It's existence, it's made up of both.

Atoms of hydrogen and oxygen, at a certain temperature, allow the development of primitive life forms, bacteria and stuff.

It just keeps evolving from there....

This ball (earth) has been around for 4 billion yrs so.....there's as much time as you want....
