Earthquake???...why God created it ?!?

it is a natural phenomena to show how powerful God can be.

Yeah, it's interesting, if you think about it. God can find a lover for some random lady in Oklahoma but he can't (or won't, whatever) prevent or stop disasters. Some crazy lady came on here earlier and tried to say that God DELIBERATELY didn't do anything about the Holocaust, because the Jews were wrong about Christ. Seriously, that kind of logic makes me shudder.

It was God who created the earth. The first couple chapters of Genesis explain that. It took 6 days and on the 7th day he rested.

God created the matter

well actually I've been pondering this for a while. God say's He created them. I dont think they were 'pets'. the fossil soil beneath us is four miles thick all around the earth. that translates into one hell of a lot of dinosaurs. then they died . God begins creating again calling forth 'every living creature'. life begins to grow and mulitply on its own without God's help. so it is my feeling that the dinosaurs served one absolute and essential purpose. God created them specifically to be used as fertilizer for the earth. to provide fossil fuel. the earth would not be in existence today if not for the dinosaurs. life as we know it would not be the same. they were used to prepare the earth for human habitation.

Earthquake not earthquek.\n\nAn earthquake is a sudden and sometimes catastrophic movement of a part of the Earth's surface. Earthquakes result from the dynamic release of elastic strain energy that radiates seismic waves. Earthquakes typically result from the movement of faults, planar zones of deformation within the Earth's upper crust. The word earthquake is also widely used to indicate the source region itself. The Earth's lithosphere is a patch work of plates in slow but constant motion (see plate tectonics). Earthquakes occur where the stress resulting from the differential motion of these plates exceeds the strength of the crust. The highest stress (and possible weakest zones) are most often found at the boundaries of the tectonic plates and hence these locations are where the majority of earthquakes occur. Events located at plate boundaries are called interplate earthquakes; the less frequent events that occur in the interior of the lithospheric plates are called intraplate earthquakes (see New Madrid Seismic Zone). Earthquakes also occur in volcanic regions and as the result of a number of anthropogenic sources, such as reservoir induced seismicity, mining and the removal or injection of fluids into the crust. Seismic waves including some strong enough to be felt by humans can also be caused by explosions (chemical or nuclear), landslides, and collapse of old mine shafts, though these sources are not strictly earthquakes.

God created Earth and it underwent some processes.\nGenerally people use the theory of Big Bang.\n\nBased on my observations, this type of question is most likely to get little response.\nWhy?\nBecause people do not know about how Earth was really created. So do I.

Now, I can't swear to this, because I was half asleep when I watched this, but I watched this show on the Discovery channel about a week ago.  They were talking about how the earth has a molten core that is constantly moving around, so therefore we have earthquakes.  The moon is solid, so therefore, no earthquakes.  That's also why we don't see many of the craters from asteroids that hit us over the millions of years because our earth's surface is continually changing from these earthquakes.

Hello Rusty : Your intuition is brilliant: you are almost right! The natural disasters have two causes:\n\n1)The human being action like a virus infection;\n2)Astronomics systems are under evolution, like everything else in Universe, so, the bodies changes, the sun’s system change. \n\nThere are two sources of astronomic changes acting over Earth just now:\n\na)The Earths’ nucleus is a seed of a star. Since that the light from the sun began to reach that seed (about 3, 5 billions years ago, we think), it began flourishing. The seed is covered by the nutrition stocked at the geological layers and once it woke up, it began to feed from those nutrients, which we call “nuclear reactions”. Those nuclear reactions\n produces heat which needs valves for not to explode the planet, and those valves are the volcanoes. Once the “heat” from the nucleus reaches the surface, we have increasing global warm. The nuclear reactions provoke tectonic plate’s displacements (Somebody can stop the plate tectonics, please?!). And others phenomena that change Earths’ surface;\n\nb)The sun is a star at deadly-end. Its cadaver are being decomposed in dusty and dusty are being accumulated which will create a vortice and after that, a black hole. These transformations in the astronomic system surrounding us, of course, produce changes at planets’ surfaces.         \n\nSo, you are right! There is a higher being that is warning us of our future. The higher being here is an astronomic system (you can see in Matrix’s Theory that astronomic system are semi-living beings), and the force behind it is “macroevolution”. He is warning us about our future: do not loose your time, you need a peaceful humanity working together and with love, because you need every human being strong and healthier helping the advance of your Science, supporting initiatives like NASA, because you will need to move from your planet. \n\nBut do not worry too much: the increasing of natural disasters obeys astronomical time scale, so, for us, single microscopic virus, we have a lot of time ahead.

Dear Batteries Not Included: \n\nI have had many prayers answered.  In 1994, we in California, in the San Fernando Valley had an earthquake.  It was a devasting one.  The difficulties from it were far reaching:  Like, if you owned a business and all your computers were trashed in it . . .how do you operate?  Without earthquake insurance, how could you run your business?  So, offices were closed down for weeks, some for months and how did employees earn a paycheck?  The Unemployment lines were miles in length, I heard.    I prayed that somehow the Holy Spirit and Jesus would keep me working.  I needed a good, full check  each week (as did everyone!).  I never once during that entire year went to Unemployment !   I worked steadily, and had a weekly check as a Temporary worker !  Realize that with so many businesses closed, and so many out of work, this was no easy feat to accomplish !  But God knew how.  He, through the Holy Spirit and Jesus, and their guidance, kept me FILLED with work.  \n\nI have had many healings also.  Wonderful healings.\n\nAnother. . . a couple of years ago I was driving my car about seven miles from my home location.  Suddenly, the water pump on my car busted.  The temperature on my gauge responded quickly - soaring up to HOT !  I began asking the Holy Spirit to get me to a station I did business with in my home area .  I did not have an AAA card for towing and did not want to pay the full price of a tow.  I told the Holy Spirit I would depend upon and rely upon Him to somehow get me through seven miles with an over-heated car.  In a short amount of time, some steam began coming through the hood!  I kept faith in the Holy Spirit and kept driving toward the station.  When I arrived with no more incidents, the mechanic told me that doing what I did probably ruined my engine.  He was certain I would need a new engine due to my actions and decisions.  After a careful check of all major parts under my hood, he came over to me with a bemused expression on his face.  He declared the engine had no problems at all.  Everything was in good shape, but the need for a new water pump.  He shook his head and muttered, "Never seen anyone get away with this before. . ."\n\nI have a "tight "relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.\n\nBest regards, Lana

dude what the hell is wrong with you? No God wouldnt need any help creating the universe. he would have it created in 1 second with a snap of his finger. and dont you dare question God ever!. God has done nothing wrong to you all he ever does is look after you and this is his thanks.

Something much more powerful than humans. You could call it God, a higher Source, the higher light, etc. The reasons WHY earth was made vary. I think it was made as sort of a school for souls to come here and learn valuable lessons, learn, then when they die go back home.

Yeah...one of my college professors said that God started the whole thing...I agree...who said that creation was a "quiet" event...The BIG BANG...and God was the one that fired the shot!

I also fail to see the correlation.  But this is definitely not the first time something like this has happened.  When we discovered the Earth was round or that it evolved around the Sun, the Church was afraid these discoveries somehow threatened the faith of Christ's followers.  They seem, however, unshaken.  I suppose it has something to do with God being placed into every "unknown."  So when science answers our question, God seems to become unnecessary.

As humans evolved, many phenomenon on earth could not be explained, e.g. volcanoes, planets, etc., so we created gods. We still cannot explain what happened before the big bang, so it is possible that god created this space and time (and therefore,ultimately, us).

Hey, man, if a rock is heavy, that means it is attracted to another body of mass.  So the question is: Can God create two bodies of mass that are so attracted that he cannot keep them apart?  Well, if he could compress the whole universe into the size of a pin-head to create the big bang, then I would have to say....maybe.

It could have been the force resulting from a universal collapse just before.\n\nIf you're a religious person, then maybe it was God.
