is there a god somewhere over there and if there is why are we created then?

God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to.

indivuduals look for god as a way to answer things that cannot or have yet to be answered, such as where we came from, what's our purpose here, and just plain why? also it's a way to feel that we are not alone. we want to think that someone is controling out fate and that we aren't just floating around from with no point to our existance

I believe in God but not in the traditional sense. To be honest, I've asked your very same question many times before. To understand it, I looked around me to see the natural order of life; how things worked and the cycles there are. Personally, I don't believe we were created in God's image. I don't believe that we are his only creation or his/her greatest creation, for that matter. The way I choose to view creation is simple; every thing is purpose oriented. Like a sports team, every player/ component/ creature, is an equally important part. Our lives however grand or simple, are part of an incomprehensible mass of life called creation. Creation being every thing from the stars to the microscopic germs on our hands. All things are of different masses and scales. The only thing that all things share is that, they exist. Think of it this way; solar systems are comprised of planets, galaxies comprised of solar systems, a universe comprised of galaxies. We and the world we live in are a small piece of possibly an infinite space. I don't know what our purpose is in life but all I know is, we are supposed to be alive. Every piece of all creation, is like a gear in a machine; each gear turning the other to make some thing move or react. It would be very egotistical and narrow-minded to believe that we are all that there is. Especially considering there is evidence to support the contrary. Every time you see a dog, bird, cat, cow, worm, what ever, that tells you that we're not all that there is. Heck, every time more dinosaur fossils are dug-up, that proves there was life, long before we existed. So we are just another in a long line of creatures. No more or no less special than our predecessors or our future successors. I view our lives as part of an experiment. God wants to know what we'll do; what things we will discover; what horrors we will create, how long we will last, how far we will take our selves. To what end? I don't know. But we, like every thing else, exists to simply live. We do what we want with our life. In my opinion, God does not feel good or bad about the things we do. He/she wants to know how things pan out. We're important to he/she because we are a part of him/her. God is some thing we cannot really understand. God is our creator but beyond that, that's all we know. What is the use of God, you ask? What is the use of anything? To me, to be alive is use enough. We have the ability to do great things. Our lives are what we make of them. God or the idea of God, perhaps is a constant reminder that there is always some thing beyond what we know. In a way, that guides us to the answers to our questions. Well, that's not a diffinitive answer in the least but I'll say this; if I did have the answer, I'd be a very rich man!

i think to belive that we (as humans) are the only thing out there is a very naive thing to think. with that said  any answer given to you will only be excepted if it falls into your belief system. so on one hand you have your unwavering faith(not meaning that in a disrespectful way) and on the other you have the overwhelming proof that something other then humans live in space. So if such poof is true then these other beings would also have to have a belief system about there creation. and being that there is only one "GOD" no matter what name "GOD" is given or how many different sides"GOD" has, then if the poof of these other beings proves true Then yes "GOD" must have put them there. and you and the other beings would both agree to this, even if using different names for"GOD".

physics has shown that time is a property that is the result of the existence of matter.  Time exists when matter exists.  Time has even been called the fourth dimension.  But God is not matter.  In fact, God created matter.  He created the universe.  So, time began when God created the universe.  Before that, God was simply existing and time had no meaning (except conceptually), no relation to Him.  Therefore, to ask where God came from is to ask a question that cannot really be applied to God in the first place.  Because time has no meaning with God in relation to who He is, eternity is also not something that can be absolutely related to God.  God is even beyond eternity.

I read a bit on John's stuff and I have to say that it didn't get to the question of who created the creator.  If you attempted to answer this question you would find that being created by a god is just as difficult if not more so than being created from some random source because ultimately at some point a god would have been created from some random source.\n\nThere are more emotional reasons to believe in god.  Mostly, fear and a need to answer questions in an attempt to fill the void of our non-understanding ( is that a word? I don't know, if it isn't I just made it one) of our own existance.\n\nIs there a god?  If there is a god what is it?  Who is to define this god?  Don't we first have to have some type of experience of reference to see if this god exists?  \n\nWhat if I said god was undefinable?  Or infinate.  Then, you could say that god is everything and as such cannot seperate himself from himself to expose himself and therefor, you cannot detect him unless you detect the inifinate which means to realize that you and god are one, like that jesus guy.  This is the only way I believe a god could actually exist if we're talking about an omni god that is.  If you're talking about a super being then I don't know what to tell you other than proove it.

Have you ever wondered about the reason of our existence? Have you ever wondered why we die, and where we go after death? What will happen to us in the end? Have you ever asked yourself why God made the earth and all that is in it under man’s dominion? Why were the night and the day, and the sun and the moon created? What are we supposed to do during our lifetime? Were we created just to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves before we die? As one poet put it: \n“I do not know whence I have come. \nI saw my feet walking on the road. \nAs they please I go and stop. \nWhat am I doing here? \nHow did the road find me?\nI do not know! I do not know! I do not know! ”\n\nGod has emphasized in many verses of the Qur’an that He did not create us without purpose. He said: “What! Do you think that I created you simply in jest? And that you would not be returned to Me?”  (23:115) He also said: “What! Does man think that he will be left to roam at his will?” (75:36) In addition, He said: “Do people think that they will be left to say: “We believe,” and they will not be held accountable?” (29:2) \nIndeed, God Has created human beings for a purpose and with a purpose: TO WORSHIP HIM ALONE (Monotheism). He said: “I have not created the Jinn and humankind except only to worship Me. I don't require provision or feeding from them. Surely Allah  is the All-provider, the Possessor of all strength, the Firm.” (51:56-58) In fact, all prophets told their people to worship God alone (Monotheism) and shun worshipping His creation (Paganism). God said: “I assuredly sent among every people a messenger with the command: Worship Allah and avoid worshipping false gods.” (16:36)\nProphet Abraham, for example, believed in One God, who had no partner. Anyone who holds a different understanding of God than this has contradicted the religion of Abraham and follows falsehood. God says in the Qur’an: “Those who reject the religion of Abraham make fools of themselves.” (2:130)\nProphet Jesus was reported in the Gospels to have said: “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’.” (Luke 4:8)\nProphet Jacob also said (in the Qur'an) to his people: “Indeed, those which you worship besides Allah are only names that you and your forefathers have established, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command belongs only to Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the right religion, but most people do not understand.” (12:40)\nRead more about the TRUE BELIEVE which supported by the Miracle Holy Quran :\nhttp://www.islam-guide.com/islam-guide.pdf\n\nhttp://www.harunyahya.com\n\nhttp://muslimconverts.com \n\n=*=*=*=*=*=*=*==*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*\n=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=\n\nReal happiness and peace can be ONLY found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Qur’an: (Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest.) \n(Qur’an, 13:28)\n\nOn the other hand, the one who turns away from the Qur’an will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said:\n(But whoever turns away from the Qur’an, he will have a hard life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment.) (Qur’an, 20:124)\nThis may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night. After he converted to Islam, he found true happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success. \nTo read the stories of people who have converted to Islam, please visit                \n\nhttp://www.islam-guide.com/stories\n\nAt this web page, you can read the thoughts and feelings of these people, who are from different countries and have different backgrounds and levels of education.\n=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

If we could be good on our own power, we would be God.\n\nGod didn't make us just so that we would be weak. That is, this was not his aim. But what he created was people, not God. Why didn't he create God? Because there is only one God who exists outside of space and time--who always was, is, and will be--who IS, not who was created. Therefore, God cannot create God. What he made was a creature in his image, but who could not be him.\n\nGod takes no pleasure in our weakness. He has compassion for us because we are weak. This is why he sent our Son--that through Him, we might become perfect, not on our own power, but by the power of God.\n\nIn addition, God created within us the need for Himself. So that upon our constant failures, we would begin searching for the One who never fails.

a straight answer? God wasn't created. He has just always been (existed). He is the author of all life, so He can't be created by anthing else.

Nope! We were created in the image of God.\n\nYou evolved from Neanderthals, probably from the retarded offspring of retarded fishmonkey beaver-things.

Good question.\n\nIn short... there's no way to really know how the Universe was created.  Some look towards scientific research to explain our origins while many others trust in their faith as the answer. For now, we can only speculate.

Well, God is a wonderful creator, \nhe created it beautifually. I agree

our creator is the one and only God. he gave us free will because he loves us. the devil tricks us into committing sins, we are not forced.

It is an eternal question that we'll never know the answer to until we are dead.  I'd sit there when I was younger and think who made God and who made the being that created God and who made that being.  I think our sense of beginning and end is not in line with the big picture.  Our minds aren't ready for the truth.
