Did god create the trillions of stars and galaxies, and countless life forms on earth to have a relationship with just one kind of primate?

Question

Or is this just a middle eastern fairytale?

Answer 1

Middle Eastern? You realize that every culture on earth has traditionally believed in a god (or gods) who created the universe...



Otherwise, if there were not trillions of stars and galaxies, you wonder why a deity would have put a seemingly infinite amount of detail into infinitesimally small units that are beyond the reach of mankind. It's all a matter of perspective. If anything at all was created by a deity for the benefit of a single species, then there is no reason to assume that any amount of stars and galaxies is out of the ordinary.



But as for the biblical creation epic, it was written by human beings, not by God. And I'm basing that on what the text itself says.

Answer 2

God had created everything. There may be many eternal beings under Him. These eternal being might have involved in the creation work. God did this for His own pleasure and entertainment. He had also created the spirits. If what a spirit told is correct, their lifetime is approximately 500 years. At present you are living in a miraculous era which may come to an end within a few years or little later. I guess God is doing this to make people understand what a human being is and to prove that He exists.



God never bothers who believe Him. God cannot watch each and every human being at the same time. That's why He had created the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits. Spirits are separate elements. A human being is not a single spirit. A human being during his/her life time is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything. Even thoughts are not your own. When you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. A human being is just a robot made of flesh, bones, tissues etc., and a toy of the spirits for their games.

Answer 3

No, god did NOT create the trillions of stars and galaxies, and countless life forms on earth to have a relationship with just one kind of primate, because it IS just a middle eastern fairytale, and the god of the Bible does not exist.



In fact, the Bible itself proves that its god does not exist.



That is because the Bible describes a god-created cosmos that does not actually exist. Since that cosmos is a manifestation and attribute of that god, the god who created the non-existing biblical cosmos does not exist either.



According to the Bible the earth is a flat, immovable disk, supported by pillars and covered with a solid vault of heaven, the rim of which is is resting on the perimeter of the disk of the earth, and the stars are just lights set in the vault of heaven.



I show that to be the case in my extensive answer to the question in the link following in which I provide a very large number of biblical passages to support that understanding. (I am not providing all of that material here because the idiotic Y!A Relevance factor would push it to the end page of answers where few people would bother going.)



https://answersrip.com/question/index?qid=20160126064750AAyTwxr



That this is the correct view of the biblical cosmos is shown by the fact that it describes a structure with parts that are fully consistent with each other. That structural consistency indicates that it accurately represents the cosmos as conceived by the ancient Hebrews and as its writers incorporated that view in the Bible.



In addition, according to the Bible, earth is the centerpiece of creation and in the Last Days god will destroy the earth and the heavens and create a new heaven and earth as part of his plan for mankind. (2 Peter 3:10-13).



Is that realistic considering the vastness of the universe and its enormous number of stars and galaxies? In the actual universe that science has uncovered, the earth is an insignificant mote, even considerably more insignificant than the size of an atom is with respect to the size of the earth.



Watch the three-minute video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9gy_BOnEOM&app=desktop



It is therefore the height of geocentric IDIOCY to think that the whole universe, with its trillions of stars and galaxies, was created merely for the sake of the earth and its primate inhabitants.

Answer 4

God also created the angels of which 1/3 rebelled against Him. The angels are also called stars in the Bible.

God created mankind a little lower than the angels, but He created us different. We are created in God's image with the ability to love. We are called heirs and angels are called messengers and God's army. God created the angels to serve us and Him, but He created mankind to pleasure Him. Revelation 4:11KJV says that man was created for God's pleasure. We have no idea how many angels there are or where they all abode.



The Bible tells us that in the heavens (universes, galaxies, stars) that we have constant warfare between God's angels and Satan's fallen angels. Yet, we cannot see any of this. All Christians realize they are in spiritual warfare because if given a chance Satan will devour us. I was told to "Get up and see the wonders of God," one early morning. I went outside and up on the hill in the backyard was a bright, glowing, shiny object and at first it frightened me and I hurried back inside, but into my spirit came this peace and explanation that the Lord had just shown me an angel. Sometimes God shows us things when He knows that we need just a little bit more. Sometimes God realizes how hungry we are for His touch, His words or His strength. I know I am loved, because it is amazing what God does for those He loves.

Answer 5

It the earth that God has chosen to deal with Sin. The day is coming when there will be no more Sin.



Isaiah 65:17 New King James Version (NKJV)



17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth;

And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind.

Answer 6

There is a serious philosophical discussion on this issue on Nicholas Bostrom's website. Listen to Nick discuss the question of whether or not the universe is a simulation. In short,

1 You believe our civilization will never reach technological maturity - definable as near infinite computing power. Or

2. Our civilization in its maturity will lose interest in its antecedents, and will not have any desire to understand its past via simulacra. Or

3. You are living in a simulation.

Go to the website and listen closely for further understanding.

Answer 7

No. The legend makes stars lights in the sky. There was no sense of the vastness of the universe. That is a modern idea. Scripture was not to teach cosmology; it was to provide a framework to say who we are, how we came to be, and what that means about how we should live.



To focus on the science taught in scripture and to ignore its purpose is a mistake that a high school student who got an A in literature would never make.

Answer 8

Exactly, finally, someone who gets it! Here's another piece to tgat puzzle... If God ALWAYS existed how are we to know that he's never had many other forms of existence and are we that small-minded to think we would be tge only people, race or form of existence if God had no beginning. Remember, for God time is no object. It's not even a word..

Answer 9

If I had a book which was mostly about Welsh History, Welsh Geography, Welsh traditional music, Welsh natural history and rules for living in Wales ("Always close the gate securely when walking through a field of sheep"). Would you think it was the key to the universe or something mostly written by the inhabitants of a very small country for people in that very small country

Answer 10

I believe God aka Abba, Elohim, Yahweh, Creator, Heavenly Father has always been a super genius, highly creative, loving, hopeful, and fatherly to all, especially to Jesus Christ, but to all of us. I also feel like Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit were always there in the IT AND NT AND BEYOND.



I think God, Christ, and Holy Spirit and Holy Angels have tried, but in the end, God realize Earth and us are most. Like him, so he gave us the most favor and attention in some ways. Jesus Christ died on the cross and the Ressurection of him from death. Priced to all, he is real. So is God and The Holy Ghost.

Answer 11

Why is it so hard to believe? What is infinity compared to infinity and infinite wisdom compared to infinite knowledge and awareness? What other creature that you know of is worth talking to? What other advanced civilization has radio communication? What other planet has a single living microbe on it as the first 8 elements on the periodic table to be sure make up most of the stuff of stars and planets in our universe.

Answer 12

Wrong. He created human beings according to his image to have relationship with them as sons and daughters.



The concept of people being primate's is the false doctrine that seems to be the best theory to explain evolution without God...



So your question mixing God's intent with anti-God theories....yes, that won't work.



You are not a primate. You are a creation after his image, created to have a relationship with Hi through Christ. All the animals were created as companions to share this planet with us, but they are not sons or daughters created according to his image.



Stop watching liberal TV shows. They are brainwashing you.

Answer 13

A relationship with one primate? I don't understand your question. If you're saying this to speak about God having relations with Mary then you have the wrong Bible. If that is a Bible you have.

Answer 14

there are other religions which do not have to deny the reality of physics or biological evolution to be true. they are not dualistic, a-causal or independently

created phenomenal realities.

i am talking about true buddhism, which says that all living and non-living beings have a higher spiritual nature, and can be enlightened.

these beliefs over come the limitations and the denial of people's lives which most religions in the USA will force on you, the christian religions.

so, i am buddhist and suggest these three writings, from among many, for you to read:

http://nichiren.info/gosho/HeritageUltimateLawLife.htm

http://nichiren.info/gosho/TrueEntityLife.htm

http://nichiren.info/gosho/RisshoAnkokuRon.htm

this is because the one thing which we need in the country, is the peace of all living beings.

Answer 15

God is a spirit.(John 4:24) The Holy Spirit is God's active force that he uses to get things done.



Genesis 1:1-3

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.+

2 Now the earth was formless and desolate,* and there was darkness upon the surface of the watery deep,*+ and God’s active force*+ was moving about over the surface of the waters.+

3 And God said: “Let there be light.” Then there was light.+



Acts 2:1 Now while the day of the Festival of Pentecost+ was in progress, they were all together at the same place. 2 Suddenly there was a noise from heaven, just like that of a rushing, stiff breeze, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.+ 3 And tongues as if of fire became visible to them and were distributed, and one came to rest on each one of them, 4 and they all became filled with holy spirit+ and started to speak in different languages,* just as the spirit enabled them to speak.



Luke 1:30 the angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And look! you will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus. 32 This one will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and Jehovah God will give him the throne of David his father, 33 and he will rule as King over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his Kingdom.” 34 But Mary said to the angel: “How is this to be, since I am not having sexual relations with a man?” 35 In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you. And for that reason the one who is born will be called holy, God’s Son. 36 And look! Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman.

Here Jesus life was transferred to Mary's womb. New World Translation

John 8:18-23

18 I am one who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.”+ 19 Then they said to him: “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered: “You know neither me nor my Father.+ If you did know me, you would know my Father also.”+ 20 He spoke these words in the treasury+ as he was teaching in the temple. But no one seized him, for his hour had not yet come.+

21 So he said to them again: “I am going away, and you will look for me, and yet you will die in your sin.+ Where I am going, you cannot come.”+ 22 The Jews then began to say: “He will not kill himself, will he? Because he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come

23 He went on to say to them: “You are from the realms below; I am from the realms above.+ You are from this world; I am not from this world. An age woman who is marry got pregnant by means Holy Spirit.

Answer 16

Not to mention God drowned the animals from Noah's Ark and he sacrifices them. God also says dogs don't make it to heaven in Revelation 22:14-15.

Answer 17

you already know the answer to this one we have no relationship to primates as such, since the come from our over indulgence so long ago now. we early animal man had sex with the huge she apes at that time hence the coming into being of the wee chimps etc.

Answer 18

Obviously the idea god only cares about certain people is total BS.



If there's a god, then it certainly is involved in all life everywhere. The idea that god only interacts through Jesus is also nonsense.

Answer 19

No He created all things for Himself...Proverbs 16:4,

Romans 11:36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.

Colossians 1:16

For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.

We are His finest, greatest creation and He has plans for us...

Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

He created MAN ,not primate, to live in relationship with Him and all the things on our universe are for Us to enjoy. "I have loved you with an everlasting love" (Jeremiah 31:3)



God made things ultimately for His own purpose but He shares those with us to enjoy... 1 Timothy 6:17

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, WHO RICHLY PROVIDES US WITH EVERYTHING FOR OUR ENJOYMENT.

Answer 20

Our universe is like a big distillery and we are the finest spirit to come out of it. If we want to be. If not? Doesn't mean we are not fine spirits in spite of what we think about things. Just means some of us are not ready to be fine spiritual essences yet. Even if we already are. Once you are alive you are a fine spirit. In spite of what you may think to the contrary.

Answer 21

Only God knows

Answer 22

No. Man is a human being. Primates are a different species.

Answer 23

That is also in Revelation 21:1- 8, not just Isaiah, at the end, do not worry, soon enough we will be there like sunset or dinner or lunch. But God meant to have relationships with all his creations, even those boy bands I need to slap so often. Lol. 📿💗💞👣😇😇



But the species and individuals either choose to obey him or not. I think we care more, because we look the most like God, and Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit tend to look like handsome, rugged, gentle, strong, but judgmental and tough, but in a loving fatherly or brotherly way. I believe your soul can feel it, even the unbelievers.❤💞👣👑👼👼

Answer 25

Middle eastern Fairytales.

Answer 26

We have been told that the earth has been given up with the purpose of human habitation, and that all the other things do not concern us, and will not concern us. So, how many planets God wants to use for others to inhabit, for other purposes is unknown.



All of nature, of of our animals is telling us about the glory of God, and contributes to making this planet a beautiful place except for our destruction of it. This rape of our planet is one reason God is going to do away with present systems of governments and is one reason why most of humanity shall be killed. There are many other reasons for God promising to kill most of us. Those who refuse to listen to the warnings will just have to suffer the consequences of their lives.

---

As to God and animals, I have seen God answering prayers when one of my pets were dying to grant it a painless passing. The Bible also tells us that God cares and gives food to the animals. I am sure that he and the righteous angels enjoy baby animals, and young animal antics as much as we do.

Answer 27

It's kind of hard to have relationships with stars,& monkeys..



But,I have heard atheists have relationships with sheep.

Answer 28

Even Hindus believe in a creator God and will pwn atheists.

Answer 29

I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm not a primate. I'm a human being, there is a very big difference you know. jw.org

Answer 30

No.



Don't forget to cite Sam Harris.

Welp, God's cheating on us guys. If only we had for arms like the cool aliens he still pays attention to.

Answer 32

We have on this planet made Gods by the score.

One more can't hurt.

Answer 33

not to mention god drowned the animals from noah's ark and he sacrifices them... god also says dogs don't make it to heaven in revelation 22:14-15...

Answer 34

Nope, to have a relationship with the other lifeforms. It was the case with angels too.

Answer 35

Seems a tad wasteful to me. Seems like most religions started with a desire to feel special - a much more likely theory.

Answer 36

God made it all right. We don't know how or why he did it that way, but it's for good reason.

Answer 37

Where did you get the idea that no other sentient life forms can exist? No religion teaches that.

Answer 38

Isaiah 45:18 says, "For this is what Jehovah says,

The Creator of the heavens, the true God,

The One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it,

Who did not create it simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited."



---------------------------------------------------------------------------



So Jehovah God made everything for a purpose, and for our enjoyment.

Allah, The Creator Subjected the Universe to Human Control

A Question for the Atheist



Can it Be that the Universe Created Itself?



Virtually every human being has pondered this question. Some answered by saying that the formation of the universe was merely a coincidence. Others felt there must be an unseen Creator. In what will follow, we will try to assist you in answering this question. Our approach will depend primarily on the text of the Qur'an (the Word of Allah (i.e. God), inspired to Prophet Muhammad (saws)). We request only that you open your mind and read.



Allah asks in the Qur'an:



35. Were they created out of nothing? Or were they themselves the creators?



36. Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they are sure of nothing!



(Qur'an 52:35-36)



Most deny or ignore the existence of The Creator because they cannot see Him. However, there are many things which we do not see, but yet we believe in their existence. Further, most of us believe in creatures which exist yet undiscovered and undocumented.



Many reject the existence of The Creator, believing only in science and data gathered and confirmed by its canonical methods. But, on any given day, the same person might find himself in love, deep remorse or sadness. And while contriving the most complex and personal thoughts, he does not, at the time, suppose that his feelings are a random product of firing neurons. How can he then believe that the only distinction between a corpse and a living person is the absence of organ functionality. That we need only revive his physical body to restore him to normality.



The Scientific Proof



Let us imagine ourselves standing in a laboratory stocked with beakers and test tubes containing all sorts of chemical compounds. Then suppose an earthquake has just occurred upsetting the shelved vessels, sending their contents spilling onto the laboratory floor. It would be a very strange coincidence indeed to find new life forms generating themselves where none had existed before.



You might say, 'Your analogy didn't account for time - these organisms need time to evolve.' We ask, 'How much time should we have allowed? Was there enough time since the beginning of the universe to allow for their self-induced formation?'



Let's hear from Swiss mathematician Charles Eugene Jai. In an experiment aimed at answering this very question, Jai set out to calculate the probability of the random formation of a single protein molecule. Jai 'helped' the situation by assuming the existence of formative elements, and by selecting a protein consisting of only 2,000 atoms (An average protein might consist of 32,000 atoms or more). Jai also assumed that the protein would consist of only 2 unique formative atoms.



He determined the value of probability by considering the size of the material and the time necessary for the random formation to occur. He calculated that the probability of forming even a simplified protein molecule was approximately 1 in 5 x 10 e+320 !



The size of the material necessary to produce that almost zero probability would have been a sphere with a diameter of approximately 6 x 10 e+176 miles - about 10 e+63 times bigger than the imagined size of the universe. Finally, the time necessary for the molecule to form was 10 e+243 billion years. This was far greater than the supposed age of the universe - only about 2 billion years.



He concluded that the universe was neither old enough, nor big enough to allow for the random formation of even a simple protein molecule. It was impossible for the universe to have created itself, and for life to randomly form. We must then consider another course. There is a Creator who created the universe.



Some Unmistakable Signs of the Creator



Allah said in the Qur'an:



53. We* (Allah) shall show them Our Signs on the horizons and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that it is the Truth. Is it not sufficient that the Lord is Witness over all things?



(Qur'an 41:53)



* One of the usages of 'we' in Arabic is for glorifying and indicating the greatness of a person. Here it indicates greatness and not plurality.



We live in an amazing universe. It is a universe peculiarly balanced, and purposefully tempered as if to provide a safe host for living creatures.



According to modern astronomers, the universe is expanding. They hold that if gravity had been only slightly stronger, it would have overtaken expansion very early and caused the universe to collapse. Had gravity been slightly weaker, universe expansion would have become a runaway process, not allowing time for the formation of galaxies and stars.



If either of these had occurred, there would never have been an Earth on which creatures could live. This universe seems designed, even meticulously tailored to provide suitable conditions for living. If other basic ratios and constants had been just slightly different, the universe would not have been favourable to our existence.



If, for instance, the strong and weak nuclear forces were slightly stronger relative to the electromagnetic forces, hydrogen would not exist in its ordinary form. This would mean that heavier elements, such as carbon and oxygen - two of the essential building blocks of life - would never have existed.



The strength of gravity is crucial to the existence of life in the universe in another way. If it were weaker, then it could not crush the material in a star the size of the Sun with enough force to ignite its thermonuclear reactions. Only very massive stars would shine, and such stars would probably have too short lifespan to allow for the development of life.



These indications that the universe has been arranged to favour the appearance and survival of life has been taken very seriously by certain scientists. Prominent among them is astronomer Brandon Carter. Modern science estimates that it has taken 4 billion years for human beings to evolve from unicellular life forms. Carter has calculated that the average period for any evolution of this magnitude should take much longer - about 10 billion years. That is longer than the lifespan of a Sun-sized star, and much longer than the period of life-favourable conditions on Earth.Signs for the Aware

164. Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of the night and day, and the sailing of ships through the ocean for the profit of mankind, and the water which Allah sends down from the skies, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing therein all kinds of beasts, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds subjugated between heaven and earth: are signs for people who have sense.



(Qur'an 2:164)



The Creation of Heaven and Earth



60. Who has created the heavens and the earth, and Who sends down for you water from the sky? Yea, with it We cause to grow well-planted orchards full of beauty and delight: it never has been yours to cause to grow. Could there be another god besides Allah? Nay, but they are people who swerve from justice.



61. Or, Who has made the earth firm to live in, and placed rivers in its folds, and set upon it immovable mountains, and made a barrier between the two seas (fresh and salt waters)? Could there be another god besides Allah? Nay, most of them know not.



62. Or, Who answers the one distressed when he calls unto Him, and Who relieves the harm, and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? Could there be another god besides Allah? Little do they reflect!



63. Or, Who guides you through the depths of darkness in the land and the sea, and Who sends the winds as heralds of His Mercy? Could there be another god besides Allah? High is Allah above what they ascribe to Him!



64. Or, Who originates creation, then repeats it, and Who gives you sustenance from heaven and earth? Could there be another god besides Allah? Say, " Bring your proof, if you are truthful!"



65. Say: None in the heavens or on earth, except Allah, knows what is hidden. Nor are they able to perceive when they shall be resurrected (for Judgment).
