if man created God and noone or nothing created the universe then how did we get here and everything else?

Man did not create God.  God has always been.  He is the one who created the universe and everyone in it including us.

curse this question god created everything

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.

Time was created (along with space, matter, and energy) when the universe was created.  Before the beginning of the universe, there is no such thing as time.  To say that "God was there from the beginning" can only mean that God was there since the beginning of this universe.  To ask what happened before the beginning of time makes no sense at all.  We cannot possibly comprehend what exists apart from this universe (other dimensions), because our minds were not built to do so.  To say that God "always" existed has no meaning to other dimensions, because "always" is specifically a time descriptor.\n\nI'm not giving this reason as a cop-out.  I'm only trying to suggest that maybe existence isn't what we think it is.  Maybe this question really has no meaning (or not the meaning you think it does), and maybe it's not even possible for us to understand the answer.  I'm not saying to stop looking, I'm only saying that there is that possibility.

I'll say some divine construct created the universe and as a by-product man, and afterwards man created "God" as to have a defined reference point for all things unexplainable, and as the ultimate "source".\n\nBy the way other responders, is it Christian to attack your fellows, just because they have questions? I don't the person asking is illiterate, but maybe there's some ignorance hovering around looking to strike at that which is different.\n\nLove and compassion are best lessons brought to Earth, best that you keep those closest to your heart and behavior. Wouldn't hurt for you to bow and ask for some humbleness.\nCheers!

Both. \n\nWho did it?  God.\nWhat did God do?  Create the heavens and the Earth.\nHow did God do it? By using techniques available at such a high order that only today are scientists beginning to understand some of the complexities of it all.\n\nSee, scientists and theologists are climbing up the same hill, but on different sides of the hill.  Once they get to the top, they will be able to see that they were both achieving the same goals and truths.  \n\nThe fact that the things God created are believed to be from magic is amazing.  Understand that the "Big Bang" theory does not exclude God's presence, but only accounts for the forces at work to produce the universe.  This is the "science" of God.  Remember, God has Angels to assist in accomplishing the Will of God.\n\nThe method God used to create the universe appeared to later scientists as the "Big Bang."  Liken this to the explosion of a kernal of corn that creates a different looking product called "popcorn."  Now, imagine yourself as a fly on the wall.  Could you understand what just happened to that kernel of corn?  Would you call it magic because you didn't understand the series of events taking place to alter the kernel's appearance?\n\nWell, this is far from the relativity of human's intelligence compared to an entity that has been around for before the beginning time as we know it.\n\nJust remember, the "Big Bang" theory only explains the processes to produce the universe, not the authors of those processes.

Science endevours to reach the truth through experiments and logical analysis-the truth about the origin of the Universe and the cause behind this creation.How this Universe came into being and when,what was there prior to the creation,Is there any God who presided over this creation,whether  the Universe is finite or not-these are some of the fundamental questions that science attempts to answer.

It resulted from the big bang. Time and space and matter and energy all started then. What existed before and why it occurred is for the philosophers to ponder. I'm content with the fact that we don't know everything right now. We might someday though.

how do you think the earth was created? Or you?

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.

god has no beginning and has no end\nhe wasnt created\nhe is since forever and will stay forever\nno time limits\nand the creation of the universe started with the BIG BANG which was an expolosion emmitting light.....\nso light basically was one of the first creations\nand god commanded...and things came into existance!

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.

Maybe it was god. maybe it was the big bang, maybe god created the universe through the big bang...I dont know...but I just want to 'think - out - loud' in this forum....maybe the Universe alwasy existed? No beginning? no end? Because we experience life and death in every cycle on Earth doesnt mean the Universe is also controlled in the same manner. *sigh* I wish I knew it all :)

even if we agree to the idea that there is a god who created us, which i do, in a way, i don`t think that he would have created an entire universe and only us as his servants.. and scientifically speaking the universe is so big that the possibility of us being alone is almost zero.

Well, it lacks of logic that's it. If everything in the universe needs a creator, then the creator needs a creator, since he's part of the universe, if something like god can exists without a creator, why can't the universe exists without a creator?\n\nIf the universe and its "order" requiere design, does that mean god as a being lacks of order? If there is order in him as a being, doesn't it means it needs a designer since order can't exist without a designer or, can it? If something like god, as a being, can have order without a designer, why can't the universe have order without a designer?\n\nIf nothing can't be created from nothing and the existance of the universe implies creation, does that mean the existance of god implies he had to be created? If god can exist without creation, can't the universe exist without creation? Who created god? If he needs no creator, why does the universe needs a creator?\n\nIf god has no begining and end, why can't the universe have no beginign and end and just being in constant change? Who really knows without basing his knowledge in ancient books.\n\nIt sounds to me like god is just a concept used to explain everything that lacks of logic or just can't be explained yet, since our knowledge is very limited. God violates logic and to me it can only exists through faith. If the world is too beautiful that it can't be an accident, does that mean god ain't beautiful? Because if he is, he needs a creator, I mean, beautiful things need a creator, don't they? Where does the logic lays?\n\nSometimes I think it's hard for some to simply admit "I don't know". Can the universe exists without a designer? Well, I don't know and I don't need to make fairy tales to explain its creation, because really, I don't know and those who claim they do, they sound highly suspicious... They do.

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.

This sort of thinking should be based on observation. You can come up with any theory you like, but if it does not explain what is seen it is useless.\n\nOn this basis:\n\n1. the universe (and implcitly nature) had a beginning, about 13.7 billion years ago\n2. that beginning did not require a creator (though you may choose to believe in one - you just won't find him experimentally)
