Then were we "created " by chance?

We were not created by chance.  God was lonely and need companionship so he created Adam.  The rest of us descend from Adam and Eve.

God created man through His Son Jesus Christ.  We were formed from the Earth and made in God's image.  He then blew the breath of life into us that we became a living being, body and spirit.

I believe in God, so I believe that when we were created the origin of consciousness was planted in us. That's my opinion.

because that how God created us.

No.  Not at all.  Our future is created by the quality of our thinking and our ability to manifest our hopes and dreams into reality.\n\nAs we think, we believe.\n\nWhen we change our thinking to embrace our greatest visions, and change our actions and deeds to support that vision, we unlock the key to the magnificent opportunities of our future.

Many people wonder why we are "put here" on earth.  That's the problem.  We weren't put here!  We are here and we create our reality all around us.  We create reality and all that is in it and all that happens to us.  If you have to ask then ask yourself.  I think that you know.

How do we know that atoms aren't conscious?  If we are made of the same spacedust that everything in the universe is, albeit in a complex and dynamic arrangement, then perhaps all matter and even time itself has a form of existence and experience.  Maybe we are not even individuals.  Just because most people think they are making decisions for themselves doesn't mean they are just running on some form of autopilot.  I read that the part of the brain involved in complex decision making processes finishes neural activity sometimes up to two minutes before a person thinks 'they' have decided.   On the matter of whether God created us for his own sake, I think it would be alot more likely that people created the concept of God for their own sakes.  If we are in God's soup, I'd liken our fate more to that of a fly than a cracker.

Yes.\n\nSome one had to actively create the universe, because a system left on its own would become more chaotic and that's not the case since we have evolution which is creating more order out of things.

What makes you think he created anything? Who created him, you?

Indirectly. Evolution created us and we created god.

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).

If the destiny is already written then where is the free will.\n\nWe make our own destiny.

Sure there can be.   It's all a matter of perspective.   \n\nUltimately, you can keep questioning everything to the point where we couldn't comprehend a diety.   Where did we come from?  God made us.   Where did God come from?  He always was.   \n\nI've always had a problem with..."He always existed."   So, if he always existed...what did he do?   Just sat in the middle of nowhere doing nothing.

the most logical and simple answer possible....we exist. relating to your answer...in all infinite possibilities we are some how here it would be arrogant to think that we are the only ones, we probably aren't the first either.

I think we have first the abiity to choose. What good would it do to have options if we didn't know what to do with them? And yes, I think things need a "reference point" so to speak in order to "exist." Yet when God created the world He created everything else before he created man. Maybe this question is not as simple as it seemed when I first read it. Oh dear.

Sometimes things happen just by chance or accident.  Put all the right ingredients together - over millions and millions and millions of years...
