i think we should stop worrying about all of this and get on with our lives and take advantage of the beautiful earth that "was given to us" whatever side you're on.

I think it's just funny how its so hard for believers to think that the black hole just appeared. Whatever your answer for god could be the answer for the big bang theory or is god the only thing that can magically appear?

I believe in God. People believe in the big bang theory but the scientific method said that there has to be electricity to make what people say made th big bang theory. There are three: the holy spirit, God the son and God the father. Now people obviously don't have anything better to do and say we came from monkeys. God does love everybody even you people that don't believe him because he is your father. we came from men. God forgives and he will judge you when you die. God will never hate. The more you hate him the more he loves you.

I love the 'God created everything debate'. The universe was created from a single point of nothingness(singularity) the only two places in nature this 'singularity' occurs is at the beginning of time and at the centre of a black hole. A single point of 'nothingness' goes against everything we have learnt from nature, but space and time are on a completely different level to nature as we know it, so it is perfectly possible for the beginning of the universe to have come from nothing, and therefore just as possible and likely that the universe will end up as 'nothing' in the future.

Don't question 'where did nothingness come from', like I said, it's not nature as we know it.

God created everything: life, water, light, darkness, earth, soil, plants, fungi, life, humans and animals. If you don't believe in god, then think about how you were created and where people come from. where did animals come from? how did everything come together? why are we alive? why are we in this life? why are you in this body? were you meant to do something? i don't know, but i what i do know is that god is almighty.

by the way i don't believe in any religion but i do believe in god and i believe there is only one god.

ok so i am reading all of these comment., first of all let me say that i don't believe in God, but for everyone who is claiming an argument for him, you all have answers that follow the same argument and path. most of the people's answers are, "how can the big bang theory happen, it is just ridiculous, we didn't evolve, doesn't the bible just make more sense than one day the universe came together and boom" -- that is the point of this whole argument. human beings naturally fear the unknown, which is why we always want answers. because we know little about how the earth just miraculously happened and how everything was created with the correct amount of oxygen levels etc so we could live. people then could only rely to one answer to make them feel more safe and allow themselves to realise that there may be some meaning in this life because science hadn't proved all the answers yet. that is obviously where religion comes in and people just think it is easier to believe and understand that God created everything because it is the simplest theory to understand. space and earth is too large a subject for us humans to get our heads around, and so because of that people's fears led them to believe in faiths (because they shed some light on how it could have happened in a simpler and more "beautiful" way). in the end, this debate will continuously go on. i think the answers to our whole existence will never be truly fully known. maybe we were never meant to know how we became. maybe we are too blind to realise that that is the true answer. rant over.

if some one finds happiness in thinking god is helping him in all situations, then let me say his thought is god for him.

Ok, here is a question? How was space created?

God? Or an explosion out of nothing?

Think about it.

All I can say is you're foolish to think everything in this life was left to chance, and that life will continue this way forever, with death, crime and some forth. Good luck on that belief. I know what i believe! It makes perfect sense. I suppose your brain and thought patterns happened by chance too.

Okay why the heck is religion getting involved here? Okay, now some texans are crazy about religion in their schools, then religion gets involved with politics (gay marriage for example) and now on a science website, there's a link "Who created God?" okay people, what up?

god created earth and don't say he didn't.

i don't care if you're christian or scientology. i personally favor science, only because scientists have proven stuff. but whichever side you favor, its hard to "truly believe" that either is true cause there is so much unknown information for both sides, so basically this topic will forever be an ongoing arguement, and the "winner" will just be who knows their stuff the best.

To - anon45556 well said, but you must not believe that there is no God because of the reasons you gave. the reason is pretty simple as i explained earlier in these posts: that "something cannot be created by nothing" and there is no such thing called as eternal, etc., etc. You must know that all "holy" books were man made... and a person's figment of imagination can run wild. science isn't a imagination of some person. it is by far the most accurate. the holy books people read are the stuff that everyone wants to read, if you know what i mean.

Okay, I'm gonna kinda tell a story. So, today at school (i'm in seventh grade) this one stupid kid made fun of me because I don't believe in god, and he yelled it in the lunch room and everyone looked at me. Nice, huh? I was asking questions to try and get him to see why I don't believe in god. Everyone else at my lunch table was religious, and they're my friends, but we kinda got annoyed at each other. I think that if he is powerful enough to create the whole universe and humans who have very complicated systems, why doesn't he help suffering people? My friends say god loves everyone, but if he loved everyone he wouldn't let all those people suffer and die in gas chambers in the Holocaust. And don't say that he can't control people. My friends said he can't, and they also said he controlled the whole universe and created humans, how does that make sense. That's like saying someone can control a cat, but they can't control a mouse. I also know someone who said that god made the Holocaust, so that people can learn not to be bad. God didn't make Hitler bad, and even if god did make the Holocaust happen to teach people, it's sick. In order to teach a lesson why does he have to kill many innocent people? That would be hypocritical. So, that's why I don't believe in god, and the reason I don't think he created earth is because scientists have devoted their whole lives to figure out the beginning of the universe. Have you ever seen the movie Religilous? It's an easy way to learn about reasons of why god doesn't exist. (And it's funny) Also, I just thought of this; if there is a messed up guy who rapes and tortures and kills a young girl, but he asks god for forgiveness will god love him? My friends said that he loves everyone! Oh great! god loves child rapists and murderers. I'm not interested in believing in someone who loves child rapists. And I don't mean to hurt people's feeling, but those are just my thoughts. And I'm also sorry if it took a long time to read! I like to write :)

Anon45396: I did not attack you in any way. I simply stated my point of view. If you feel differently, then we just disagree. I don't hate you for feeling that way. I didn't imply you were stupid or ignorant or any such thing. However, please allow me to correct a couple of misconceptions on your part. Christians have never said they were the oldest religion, by any means. They came out of Judaism, which they certainly knew existed before Christianity. They dated their years AD and BC because the birth of Christ was the most significant event in their lives. As Christianity became more widespread, more people followed this convention, and it eventually became the Western standard -- over a long period of time. Also, Jesus Christ was a real person. Now, whether you believe He is who He said He was or not is beside the point. There was a Jewish religious figure named Jesus. The non-Christian historian Josephus mentions Jesus as a contemporary, and He is also mentioned in other contemporary historical accounts. Even renowned atheist scientists such as Richard Dawkins readily admit a person named Jesus, son of Joseph, a carpenter from Galilee existed. They just do not believe He was divine. The beauty of living in a free society is that we have the absolute freedom to believe, or not believe, as we choose. I choose to believe. You choose not to believe. I didn't attack you for not believing, nor did I try to convert you. However, you attacked my beliefs. It doesn't change the way I believe, and I fervently hope it never "sinks in" my brain, as you put it. I'm happy and fulfilled in my life, and I wish the same for you. Peace and blessings to you.

To - anon45386 Genesis 1:26 - And God said, Let us make man in *our* image, after *our* likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. And god created man before time.

There is no such thing as GOD. When will you realise that? i didn't mean to be rude, but that is the fact. there was no such man called Jesus Christ. even the time era that is A.D. and B.C. were made by Christians who claimed that Christianity was the first religion, which that too is now proved wrong. The Hindus Valley Civilization is the oldest in the world. And that religion is now Indian. All you need to do is open your eyes and see. nothing can just exist without being there. i say it again and hope it sinks in your brain. something cannot be created by nothing and there is no such thing infinite or eternal. we call the space infinite as we cannot count or estimate the vastness of space. that doesn't mean its not countable. You need to see facts. and not have blind faith in something that never existed.

Anon45363: The Bible does not say a word about man being created "before time." I suggest you re-read the first two chapters of Genesis to confirm this. Also, He created humans for companionship. Sounds strange, but as a Christian, I believe it is true. Christians believe God is I Am. That is, He has no present, no past. He always was. No one created Him. He has always been omniscient, omnipresent. This is a tough concept to wrap your brain around, I'll admit. However, not even all Christians believe the seven-day Creation story as literal fact. I believe the Bible is figurative, as well as literal, and as long as I have the Who part straightened out, the How can take care of itself. I don't have the mental capacity to understand the forces that shaped the earth -- no human does. Our brains just aren't that large. I also believe in the possibility of life on other planets. This doesn't bother me. I don't go looking for UFOs, but neither do I discount the possibility of life on other worlds. If God created the earth, certainly He has the option of creating elsewhere. I appreciate the poster who said that, even though he didn't believe in God, he also didn't believe in attacking others because of their belief. I try never to attack others because of their beliefs, or non-belief, as the case may be. All I can tell you is what God has done for me, personally, and that He is by far the best part of my life. I don't know how He created the earth and for me, it doesn't matter. I rest in the knowledge that He did it, however He did it, and He is in control. I sleep well at night knowing someone is manning the engine room, so to speak. Blessings to you all.

i have read all the comments here and it all proves nothing. so why is everyone fighting instead of helping? this is what i think. i do not believe that god created earth or any of the planets or anything. it all started with a small reaction between something that no one knows. the sun did give birth to our universe is true and it has been proved, and science says that everything that came on earth came through the oceans which were created by the asteroids, which had lava in it. small micro organisms started the evolution. And it just doesn't happen overnight. It took millions of years, and it is true that we did evolve from apes. people who say there is no life on other planets, well it is a very false thing to say, as who knows? there could be something that lives in their own atmosphere and may not need a atmosphere like ours. i believe everything has a reason. nothing can just appear or be created without nothing. if people say god created man, the bible says god created man in his image "before time." how can anything be created before time could start? how could I say that god created everything? was he just created like that and decided to do things? who gave him the knowledge? who told him to create men and women? bible just talks about what people want to know. And it's not true. these are my reasons so far. -- Exmortis

i hate all the people who just say ohh god did it. It's just stupid and ignorant. there are people who spend their life researching things like these compiling meticulous evidence and making a strong case and people come along and instead of listening some one who dedicated their life to studying this, i will believe a book written 2000 years ago. As Nietzsche so eloquently put it "faith is not wanting to know what is true."

A lot of people think there is the big bang theory. i think that is just stupid. i'm not calling the people stupid, just the theory. how is there water on the earth if it was just debris slamming into each other? also evolution is wrong. i am a christian, and therefore i believe in god. god put everything on the planet. if you believe in the big bang theory and evoluution, where did the monkeys come from? god put all the animals on the earth, then people, we didn't come from the monkeys. -- Justin

These comments are funny. Okay personally I don't believe in God, but I don't ridicule others because they do or don't, so I think everyone should stop attacking each other here.

We all have certain beliefs and we should learn to respect each other for them. After all, though there is no hard proof for the Big Bang being real, I remind you it is just a theory. There also isn't any hard proof for God being real either, and I remind you that, that is just a religion. And yes, I know, people will claim that people saw Jesus and whatnot, many centuries ago, but I remind you that these are just old observations. You should watch MonsterQuest videos on YouTube. They're full of stories of people who say they saw giant monsters and whatnot in their area, though it can never be proved.

And to those who talk about the Big Bang like it was something that happened, and everything was created in a second, I'd like to tell you this:

One, the Big Bang was something that occured in an instant, but everything that was created after that, ie; the stars, planets, etc., they all took time to create.

And Two, your idea of God works on the theory that he was able to create life and everything else in a second, something that the Big Bang theory doesn't support. I'm just sitting here and wondering why he doesn't create more life on other planets, and why he sits there watching us all fight each other and die.

Of course, I'm only saying this because there have been too many comments 'against' the Big Bang theory, and not many 'for' them.

I remind you that I am not trying to take sides here, and I remind you all that we shouldn't judge others just because they believe in something different from us. I highly doubt any of you guys will judge your friends differently because they believe blue is a better colour over green or pink or whatever.

I am doing youth sunday at my church and i decided to teach this month about how far out and just completely idiotic this "Big Bang" theory ever started out. I go by the bible and it tells me how God created earth and He added the animals and He added the water. And how we never evolved from monkeys or primates. Plus in general doesn't the bible just make more sense than one day the universe came together and boom! there was earth and all the planets Just seriously people think about it.

How was God created?

God created the earth. People that make up scientific explanations are wrong. Just because they don't believe in god doesn't mean that they are right. --Riley

God created man in his image. Evolution is wrong because if we evolved from monkeys then we would still be evolving from monkeys, and humans would be evolving into different species. humans are the most adaptive living organisms on the planet and people in different climate zones would evolve into different species of humans due to our adaptibility. Instead, none of this evolutional nonsense is happening today.

God made everything. The world was mnot created by a big bang. There was *nothing*at first, except God. God has been around forever. He will be around forever.

God decided it was time to create a world, so he created the light and the dark. Then the land and the seas.(oh, and how could the big bang create water?)

Then the animals that swim and fly. Then the animals on land. And lastly, he created Adam and Eve. No evolution.

Boy, I cannot wait to see the looks on people's faces when Jesus comes back for the seven years of judgment.

I swear, they will be begging for forgiveness at his feet.

life is what you are chatting about,we all are animals of nature...no one will realy know the first moments of earth, because no one was there..so follow your minds and live your life to the way you plan your tommorow. thats your future and the debating will always be in your own mind and not the same as the rest of all your "talking" friends..human...

god didnt do anything. he is non existent

i am anon 29709. god created the world and then he created the sun and then debris which pushed together. there u happy??

How was the sun created when there was nothing for it to be created from?

ok, 1 thing, how was the solar system created? 2 what kind of boom was it? 3 how was the boom created? 4 debris can't just slam itself into something becuz how was it created?

6 i have a theory. the universe was created by god (no offense to those that don't believe in god) but then there wasn't a big bang. the sun and the debris was systematically pushed together which made the huge volcanic orb we call the sun and then parts of it spread upon the solar system and created the nine planets which then created earth and as i think god put some human or 2 and animals and then they lived throughout the earth then had babies then they died and the babies kept reproducing cells and other babies till this day and that's how it began.

We didn't evolve from "monkeys", but a common ancestor that we share with monkeys millions of years ago. Humans evolved one way and monkeys evolved another. Meaning we have common genes, but not exact because we've evolved differently.

This is ridiculous. To think that an explosion just 'happened' and then there was the Earth is stupid.

Also, we did not evolve from monkeys. Some evolution theories have been proven false because people just made them up to sound smart or to be recognized.

How was earth created though?

It began because there was a lot of leftover debris from the formation of the solar system that started slamming into itself.

How did this "bombardment" ever begin?
