how was the universe created (don't even think about saying any thing that has to do with god)?

Yup - its the Big Bang alright. But I think i wwill agree with Stephen Hawking on this one .. Whilst God is not necessary to explain the Big Bang, all the theories break down prior to the first fraction of a second. I guess until with have the GUT (Grand Unified Theory) we cannot reject the idea of a higher power kciking it all off.\n\nI will ask this though.. if it was a creator or an Energy (that was already there) - Who created the creator?\n\nIan

God never goes further than the mind that invented him.\n\nHis universe is usually very limited.

who created the particles you speak of?\n\nIf there is just time,form nothing,and just particles,from nothing,why can't there be GOD,from nothing?\n\nI did not say GOD is nothing,I was just pointing out the flaw in your theory which you clearly have no real response to,So I bring you back to my first question.\n\nhttp://www.gotquestions.org

Let us not forget:  Man created God, not the other way around.  Man created God to get him through whatever dilemna he was facing at the time.  Can't explain something rationally?  "Must be a god out there calling all the shots, right"?  Wrong.  There is a scientific explaination for EVERYTHING, it's just that we are not smart enough to know EVERYTHING yet.  In time.....

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.

People created god out of a need to answer unanswerable questions. We used to have dozens of gods (Rome and Greece, etc.) but simplified it down to one to help with all the memorization.

Don't have to do anything. God never existed in the first place.

Simple question, simple answer, GOD. You think the whole universe came from a dot? If you standing tall enough to see the entire milky way galaxy, our earth is smaller than a dot. Scientists can't understand that. How could you ever squish  the whole universe into a dot? \nAnswer: God created heaven and the earth and all that are in them is. I say this because the BIBLE says so.\nHey!! do you know what universe means?\nUNI-single, VERSE-spoken sentence, single spoken sentence(Genesis 1:1).

When God created the universe he created both time and space. Even einstein proved that when the universe 'came into being' that time and space appeared at the smae time. Therefore God cannot be measuerd by time or space since he is outside of them both. Thus he has no beginning or end and he has no physical size since he is outside our physical ability to measure. Being the creator though, means that he can also enter into the creation when he wants to (as in the form of Jesus). In the same way that an architect is not part of the house that he has designed or built but is still able to enter it.

Universe is a creation of God. And only thing that can create itself is God and all others are His creation. This is what a Hindu believes.

Creation was created by God. \n\nGod has provided many evidences of His existence. One of these is the testimony of His creations: “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork” (Psalm 19:1). \nHave you ever looked in awe at the night sky with its millions of stars? Or studied the intricate details of a leaf or flower? Or marveled at the miracle of a tiny new baby? These beautiful and complex creations didn’t come about by chance. They are the creations of God, your Heavenly Father. They can remind you of His existence and of His love for His children. \n\nAn ancient prophet declared: “All things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth . . . and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator” (Book of Mormon, Alma 30:44). \n\nIf you want to know HOW God created all of His creations you can read all about it in the Bible. It is in the Old Testament Book of Genesis in chapters one and two.\n\nGod bless you in your search for the truth.

Ha! finally a question i can actually answer and know 100%! In the beginning, God created the earth, along with the heavens. He said it, and it was done. Pretty sweet, eh? lol...he's pretty good, made it all, in the matter of 6 days...

You have to think back and ask the correct questions to answer this one. The theory of the "Big Bang" is incorrect. First Question: "Where did the matter come from for the "Big Bang"? Answer: "From somewhere else". Keep asking the question of "Where did something come from"? and you have to arrive at the fact that at some point, there was absolutely nothing.\n\nThis is a very hard concept to understand and think about because you always want to think in terms of a "void" if you try to think of nothing, but you have to realize that "a void" is "something" so you have to think of "nothing", "nada", "zip".\n\nThen you can arrive to the conclusion that...\n\n"It is the propensity for NOTHING to create SOMETHING".\n\nThe very first thing nothing would create is energy, something that would keep manifesting itself and propegate. That is what you would call "Life". Some refer it to "God" but it still all the same thing and exists everywhere in the universe.\n\nThis "Energy" would eventually become so extreme that it would create the "void", then the energy would transform into matter and gravity and begin to fill the void.\n\nThese three forces are the basis for all the laws of our current "Universe" and have dictated it's behavior ever since.\n\nThe universe if far older then the 13 billion years old we now can detect, it is constantly changing, expanding, and filling the ever greater void it creates as the energy, matter and gravity continues to be created.\n\nTo answer your question, you are sitting on it, it does not sit on anything.\n\nWhen your coporal body can no longer contain the energy that created you, as in all "living" things, your energy will again become part of this universe, no matter how trivial that energy may be, it is still a part of the entire energy that was and is still being created at this time.

Let´s contemplate no God:\nGod does not exist, so the universe is only a random and everlasting energy and matter transforming process, we are a tiny piece of matter which exist only because of a random event and we are only waiting for another random event to stop existing ( I meant: to transform into another thing ), then the universe and us have no goal or reason to exist.\n\nI don't like it.......God forbid!

I agree that the Universe was created by a higher being. I don't agree that said being created man at all. However, I do think that by becoming aware of ourselves and simply believing in said being's existence that said being is now aware of us. I don't believe that God/Diety/whatever you want to call it really gives a damn what we do. Anyway...I think that all beings, sentient or otherwise, that exist in the Universe are a result of the divine and since the divine makes no mistakes we are as we were meant to be. Flawed but still here. Still trying to find the meaning of it all.

Before there was any creation... there was Deity and there was "Void and Darkness on the deep"... and on the first day Deity created light and seperated the light from the darkness and the light he called day the the darkness night... and that was the end of the first day..."""\n\nWhat this all measn is that Deity (Deity is what finite man has named as God) existed before any creation was begun... Deity was without beginning and without end...in a dark void... no energy, nothing... no light... nothing... no space... nothing... on planets...nothing ... only VOID... emptiness and darkness... and Deity was the...UNCAUSED CAUSE... torpod, quiecient, omni-present; omni-potential; omni-niescnet.  The prefix omni = all and the word pressent = everywhere; the word potential = withouth limits able to do all things; and the word nicecent = knowing everything.  Remember there is no Time/Space as yet!\n\nGod was "quiscent"... meaning a sort of potential dormancy  a "happening waiting to happen..." and then he ACTED... and upon that one action potential became reality... and it was as if God "took his first breath"... and with that exhale... God's essence or particles filled the darkness and void... and that first breath was "energy" and the first aspect of creation was energy and it was created....and with that first breat of exhalation the creation of (light) energy became an explosion of "light" or energy...which we call the Big Bang... and Deity seperated the light... or energy into "day" = positive energy and "night" = negative energy... and that was the end of the first day.  And upon that action The Uncaused Cause became ACTIVE and EXISTENTIAL = THE FIRST SOURCE AND CENTER of all essence of CREATION.  What Quantum physicists call today... "The God Particle" of creation.\n\nDeity needed essence in order to create... essence that was to become matter... energy, positive and negative as the basis of all energy and matter... Deity went from being dormant to active and his essence fill the darkness and void into energy = (light) both Positive = (day) and Negetive = night) and for that God had matter or His essence to make material reality or Creation of the Universes... = "The God Particle."  \n\nYes and with that action on the first day Deity went from the UNCAUSED CAUSE to the FIRST SOURCE AND CENTER... and recognized hiself from inactive potential to active actual and became the I AM = self-awareness, from existential to experiential. And with the actualization of the I AM = GOD ...and the beginning of Creation, was established the Son of God... the CO-CREATOR, of THE ESSENCE OF GOD... the I AM... and the union of the CO-CREATOR within the I AM begot the union of the two by the mindal molding together by a DIVINE MINDAL SPIRIT that was shared  and made the two a union of one... and that binding... the activation of the DIVINE HOLY SPIRIT was the force that was the seat of all spiritual and mindal reality in the activity in creation of spiritual essence and the third essence of God the I AM, the First Source and Center, the UNCAUSED CAUSE.\nSo from the very beginning they all were contained within the UNCAUSED CAUSE... and the DIVINITY of ALL GOD'S attributes combined into ONE GOD ...the unification. \n\nSo Deity did exist from all time... as the UNCAUSED CAUSE... before there was a man who could with his finite and limited mind acknowledge him and give him recognition, and with the personalization of the Deity by man the term God always acknowledged and put into existence... We are the finite ones... NOT... GOD, THE CO-CREATOR SON, or THE DIVINE HOLY SPIRIT that is shared by the two to make three... as the DIVINE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE source of all Divinity... mindal attributes of spirit, that spirit that we are endowed with at our conception by God and fuse with our physical bodies that create our eternal souls... f
