If and I mean If you believe in God, you would have what The believers in God have and that would be "Faith". Faith is believing something to be true,even thou you havent actually seen it with your own eyes. I know God to exist but in what religion,Im not sure but with Faith I know that all will be revealed when His perfect plan has been finished.  Read Deuteronomy 32:20  ;And He said(God), I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very froward generation (froward meaning -perverse), children in whom is no faith.  Bless You Friend.

Well, none.\n\nThe God of the Book (Christian, Islamic, Jewish God) created the Earth... not the universe.\n\n:/\n\n- 16 yo Pagan

Well, if man is actually created in God's image then I would have to assume He would blow up the Earth.\n\nTherefore, I wouldn't worry about the Earth blowing up.

Both. The Bible says that to God a day is a thousand years and a thousand years is a day, basically meaning that God work in the infinite and time has no meaning to Him. It took God 7 days to create the heavens and the Earth, but who knows how long 7 of God's days really are? God created animals before he created man, who's to say that the first animals God created weren't Dinosaurs? I believe God created all things and when you find bones and footprints of really large creatures that are no longer here, then I believe God made those creatures along with everything else.

There are many theories on that one.  It might be that Adam and Eve were created along with the dinosaurs, and they could have lived in the Garden of Eden for millions if not billions of years before they took the fruit, with animals evolving around them.  Or, the entire process of creation took billions of years, and the 7 days is just a symbol of time, and not an actual space of time, in which case it took the earth several billion years to be created, along with everyone and everything on it.

How could there be when they were the last in the creation sequence?  The Earth was not even here before Adam and Eve but for less than a week.  Go to Genesis and read for yourself the sequence of events and it will answer your question.\nDay 1-light-separated night and day\nDay 2-Land and sky(clouds, air, etc.)\nDay 3-VEgetation, all the plants\nDay 4-Sun, stars, moon\nDay 5-Animal life\nDay 6-Man-Adam \nDay 7-Sabbath day-blessed the day and made it holy\n\nLater made Eve from Adams rib bone, the first surgery ever recorded.

Nobody created God. God is eternal without beginning or end. Do I understand this, no. \n\nThe only thing we know is that God aquired wisdom in eternity past. \n\nWISDOM SPEAKING\nPro 8:23  I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. \nPro 8:24  When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. \nPro 8:25  Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: \nPro 8:26  While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. \nPro 8:27  When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: \nPro 8:28  When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: \nPro 8:29  When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: \nPro 8:30  Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; \nPro 8:31  Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

Or God could have came from the Big Bang. Or God could have come when you banged your head big that one time. \n\nIf I was God and could do a Big Bang, I would be doing it all day long. What a show.

The water came up from the earth\nGen. 7:11   In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. \n\n and the water came from the sky\n  Gen. 7:12   And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

The biblical creation dates back about 6,000 years.  As we know, there are fossil remains of humanoids that are in excess of 1M years.  Houston, we have a problem!\n\nActually the problem comes from the translation of the Hebrew and Greek into the English language.  To find the answers to this and a lot of other questions, we need to go back and look at the meaning of the original words.  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  And the earth was without form, and void…\n\nThe “creation” of the animals and Adam & Eve was not the first time that there was a creation.  We know this because the Greek word is not “created” but is “restored.”  We also see that in Genesis, Lucifer had already commanded cities and had been alienated by God.  One would surmise that the cities contained inhabitants.\n\nThe fact is, there is a whole lot of stuff that happened before Genesis 1:2 that isn’t dwelt upon very much.   It is apparently of no consequence to us or God would have elaborated on it more.  It isn’t going to affect your doctrine of salvation but it is rather interesting to think about.\n\nOther items of interest (but not of great importance)… People used to live to be several hundred years old.  Were the years in error?  Let’s take a look: \n\n Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel and Seth never saw the sun or the stars.  Why not?  Because there was a layer of water suspended about where the ionosphere is today.  This layer of water caused the temperature of the entire planet to me almost equal.  (and very humid)  The humidity allowed plants to prosper without rainfall because of the ambient moisture.\n\nAlso, the weight of the water caused the atmospheric pressure to be considerably greater than our 14.7 psi.  Some scientists believe it was at least 29 to 30. (It was discovered that astronauts healed of minor cuts & scratches much more quickly when they were kept in an artificially high pressurized chamber.)\n\nThe layer of water protected earth from the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation from the sun.  (We know what drastic effects are caused by just a thinning of the ozone layer.)\n\nWhen you read your bible, take note of when people lost their longevity.  Right after the great flood of Noah, there were some significant differences.  Noah and his family were apparently the first people to actually see the sun, moon and stars and to discover why there was day and night.\n\nJohnny

You will find the answer to your question in the Bible book of Genesis, chapter 1.  Read verses 9-28.  But for the sake of others here who may not have a Bible, or don't wish to look these up, I will partially quote them here:\n\n11)  And God went on to say: “Let the earth cause grass to shoot forth, bearing seed, fruit trees yielding fruit according to their kinds...a third day.\n\n21) And God proceeded to CREATE the great sea monsters and EVERY LIVING SOUL THAT MOVES ABOUT, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind...a FIFTH day.\n\n26) And God went on to say: “Let us make MAN in our image...” 27) And God proceeded to create the man in his image,...MALE AND FEMALE, HE CREATED THEM...a SIXTH day. \n\n28)  Further, God blessed them and said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it...”\n\nSo, you see, every animal was created during the 5th symbolic day, including the dinosaurs, and Adam and Eve were created during the 6th. - - - But do read the whole passage from your own Bible, please.

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).

As a Catholic I do not have to believe everything in the Bible and as for God creating the Earth in seven days - I suppose that was to help people 2000 years ago to understand creation.  Of course evolution took place and I have no problem with my religion or other theories.

The common explanation is that the seven-day week was established as imperial calendar in the late Roman empire and furthered by the Christian church for historical reasons. The British Empire used the seven-day week and spread it worldwide. Today the seven-day week is enforced by global business and media schedules, especially television and banking.\n\nThe first pages of the Bible explain how God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. This seventh day became the Jewish day of rest, the sabbath, Saturday.\n\nExtra-biblical locations sometimes mentioned as the birthplace of the 7-day week include: Babylon, Persia, and several others. The week was known in Rome before the advent of Christianity.\n\nThere are practical geometrical theories as well. For example, if you wrap a rubber band around 7 soda cans (or any other convenient circular objects). You get a perfect hexagon with the 7th can in the middle. It is the only stable configuration of wrapping more than 3 circular objects. Four, 5, and 6 objects will slip from one configuration to another. Ancients wrapping tent poles, small logs for firewood, or other ciruclar objects might have come upon this number and attach a mystical significance to it.\n\nOne viable theory correlates the seven day week to the seven (astrological) "planets" known to the ancients: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn. The number seven does not seem an obvious choice to match lunar or solar periods, however. A solar year could be more evenly divided into weeks of 5 days, and the moon phases five-day and six-day weeks make a better short term fit (6 times 5 is 30) to the lunar (synodic) month (of about 29.53 days) than the current week (4 times 7 is 28). The seven-day week may have been chosen because its length approximates one moon phase (one quarter = 29.53 / 4 = 7.3825).
