Is it common sense to know that if there is a creation there must be a creator?

Answer 1

I think its about as persuasive of an argument as "if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys".

A common argument doesn't mean common sense.

Answer 2

Yes it is common sense. If I show you a swiss watch, is it common sense to assume there must be a creator? If I show you a house, is it common sense to assume there must be a creator? Yet did you see the watch being made? Did you see the house built? Of course, you say, that is common sense. Everyone knows that the watch and the house were built by someone. Now consider the human body. Consider the cell. It is so complex a mechanism that man has a hard time discerning its systems. Even Bill Gates knows when he considers the human body that he is looking at the greatest "computer" system ever made. The problem with common sense though, is that it is no longer common these days. You can throw a pile of metal on an airport flight line and wait to see evolution or the big bang cause those metal pieces to grow into a ready to fly 787. Now how long do you have to wait to see the finished 787? 100 years? A million years? Common sense tells you that is nonsense. Everybody knows that the plane must be built by someone. It just can't spontaneously become an airplane. So we know that just because we did not see the watch built by someone, and we did not see the house built by someone, and we do not believe an airplane evolved from some scrap metal, that we still know by common sense that they were created by someone. Now the human cell is a system so far advanced beyond our brightest techno wizards' acumen, that only a brainless can say the 787 was created but the human cell was a scrap of metal on a flight line, as it were, and just evolved.

Answer 3

Perhaps, but then it would also be common sense to assume that there was a creator of the creator. I certainly don't think it's common sense to assume a SINGLE creator, though. Most things around us are created by hundreds of people, why should all the billions of objects in nature be any different?

Answer 4

Yes absolutely. Is there anything "on this earth" that was created that doesn't have a creator...we all know the answer is no.

If things just spontaneously popped into existence randomly and without cause as they claim, I would imagine there would be far more headlines concerning that strange creature that suddenly exploded into existence right in the middle of Gilmore Girls...Creation itself is so far beyond what we can ever create in every way. We imitate what we see around us only. God creates without the need of reference.

The very idea that things can just come into existence without the need of a creator is a bit contradictory in this respect;

They claim that we just exist...that all the universe came into being spontaneously, and randomly, without purpose and without design. Yet all of the created "designs" of man, whether they be complex mechanical systems or simple geometric shapes and compositions in art, mimic and attempt to recreate what is evident in nature, and within our own bodies. With all our "intellect" we cannot reproduce what spontaneously happened with anything close to similar quality. This "supernatural" idea of spontaneous creation leaves the door wide open for The Supernatural Creator, yet they refuse to accept Him.

It is much more intellectually honest to admit that creation was indeed "created" intentionally with purpose by a Creator, in ways so far beyond our meager ability to comprehend.

If the earth's orbit was less than 1 degree off, all life would cease to exist. If the sun produced more or less energy, we would cease to exist. If the moon wasn't exactly where it is...our tides would wreak havoc. If the earth rotated at a slower or faster rate, either the days would be too long causing all life to cease, or the days would be short causing all life to cease...There are so many variables that must be exactly perfect in order for life to even exist on a daily basis today, let alone spontaneously form from nothing without any help.

I give God the benefit of the doubt and choose to believe Him before any man. I can see His hand in all things.

Take Care and God Bless!

P.S. Here is an example of the flawed logic I continue to see...if there is a creator, then who created him?

Well for starters, one poster wrote that science claims all matter in the universe always existed...that all things that could make the universe possible were always there...the Bible states that God calls Himself "I AM"...He is outside of our understanding of time, and accordingly, "always existed," no one created Him. There is no idea from what "state the matter" that the Universe in which we live was created, nor in the form this energy existed before it was molded into the Creation we now know. I believe the source of this "matter" is God, who always existed.

Answer 5

Tell me. Can you just put tea leaves, sugar, milk & water with empty utencils near the stove & without doing anything tea will get prepared by itself & come to your table in good taste of your liking by itself when you presume that everything required for that is already with you. Imagine how can then a living creature say , a handsome boy of not only good complexion & figure rather nature & mentality of your choice be automatically get created without a creator ? It all depends on how strong & vast your logic is in believing a creator of entire universe with all known & mostly unknown things to you.

Answer 6

There is a Creator and yet many people because of their love of self would rather refuse the existense of God or rebell against Him, which in either case, shall also perish without ever knowing Him. God creates with the power of His Word and don't you think that when he talks with you, that His living words would pentetrate right to your very soul? With Moses they had to put a veil over His face because of the glory that shown from him from when He talked with the Creator of all living. God is no respector of persons, He desires to have fellowship with anyone who calls on His name and will change us from the inside out, perfecting us and changing us into His very likeness. If you aren't having this kind of fellowship with him, You need to draw alittle closer to him and spend time alone in his presense. He is as close to you as a whisper unless sin blocks the way..

Answer 7

Acutally, no. Many people have a problem with this but it is just as true in science as it is in religion. Think about your basic physics. We know from fundamental physics that matter/energy cannot be created from nothingness nor can it ever be completely destroyed. This would imply that all of the matter/energy that currently exists in the universe as ALWAYS existed in some form or another. If it is possible to show that the physical universe may be infinite and without creation then why is it such a stretch to believe that God (if there is one) could have similar properties?

Answer 8

If it is common sense to know that a creation has a creation, then that brings us to the question "Who created the creator?".

If it is implausible that matter or objects can be eternal, than it must also be implausible that the creator of such object is eternal...

Answer 9

No, it just means you have been trapped into a circular argument by using the word creation and creator to justify each other.

Answer 10

Thats using mistaken semantics. There is the world around us, the universe etc, calling it creation, though poetic, implies it's created. Call it the universe, or the world, or reality, and no creator. The use of the word 'creation' is a hang over from when the Bible was the accepted authority on the world around us.

Answer 11

No. Not a common sense to know. That is a religious "belief".
You believe that logic, you should NOT to impose your belief on to all peoples in the society. It is a close-minded, one track mind. That is the main problem which cause conflict, and made us not able to live peacefully together in society.
