If someone created the Universe, who created the creator?

If you think there is a reason for everything, why there should be a reason?

Things in the Universe are connected by forces (inc. energy) and quantum mechanical entanglement. Many layers of complexity can be added to justify whatever 'connection' you can think of.

Some people think that science cannot explain everything. True. Perhaps the best attitude is not to reach the conclusion that some ultimate being is responsible, but to investigate until a rational explanation can be found.

Maybe everything is connected because it was all came to be in the same universe, by the same particles/building blocks, by the same laws of physics.



I mean, of course things are connected when you look at it that way. I mean, when you pour water into a glass, it conforms to the shape of the glass. No one created the water to take that shape specifically, that just happens to have been the available shape it fell into.



I don't see why people have the idea that there 'must be' a conscious creator. Because then you're willing to admit something complex could exist without a creator.



Why do you need the middle man so bad? Why the creator without a creator makes everything? Why can't everything just be without a creator? Why can't nature have just taken its course?

I think there is and that is true to a point. I think there are some people you are pre-destined for. But at the same time if they need some time and space. Till God, fate, and the angels decide to change things again. As much science and logical reasons that their are in this world, I also think there is spiritual events that can happen to anyone from a genius to just a super creative person whom loves to invent, write and read, to a math wiz, to a dork whom loves music and cooking, etc. We all have things we are meant to do, fights that are good fights, and causes that we fight for to make the world better, and simply some things God can only ask us to do that affect one person or creatures or creations that need us.



But Jesus Christ is the soon to be King of it all, he is already The Prince of Heaven and Earth, so at the end of the day, it is all done by him and The Father, God Almighty, YHWH or "I AM, That I AM" in Heaven and Holy Spirit. We are not pawns, not always, and we are not here to explore different philosophies or pets, maybe at initial creation. But that change, and I guess God fell in love with us, sort of like I did with my cat. Yes, we may be still be paying for the sins of Adam and Eve, but it doesn't mean God can't give you a new life and a new start, and a new path. You should also forgive those that have hurt you, and let them try to atone, and let them have their spaces and their lives too. Just because you have the power doesn't mean you should use it to control or hurt people over your emotions or because you won't deal with issues from your past.

Yes, there must be a reason for everything. It is impossible for everything that we know to exist to for no reason at all. Actually, existence itself is a huge mystery. For scientists to say that everything that exists, once did not exist but all of a sudden came into existence all at the same time just by accident is so laughable that I isn't funny. The only possible answer is that an omnipotent, omnipresent being created all that exists. Now that may sound far fetched but it is the only possible answer and besides that I know for a fact that that is what happened. Before the Universe existed, God existed. God always existed and there never was a time that God did not exist. God's very nature is Love and the nature of love is to love others and to be loved in return. That is why God created us, so that He could love us. He created us with the ability to know God and the ability to love Him in return.

Of course there is a reason for everything.

The best way to convert an atheist who doesn't think that everything is created?

Take him to a restaurant and let him order his favorite meal.

After he's done eating, tell him that nobody made the meal and it just evolved out of molecules and accidentally fell on his plate, just like he thinks that the universe and life did.

You'll quickly see the gears start turning in his head as he realizes that this is impossible, and then he is ready to talk about Jesus with you.

if this were true we would live a very mystical and magical life indeed. but most people do not. from an american/capitalistic perspective everything is determined by money, material, and power. the ideal american dream of a life would be to have endless money for endless consumption with 0 production. yet still in this society only maybe 1% will ever have that experience while the majority of us work our mundane day to day jobs, even below us are others getting paid relatively nothing to produce the most and consume the least. why don't you tell me where is the magic in that? are we the land that god forgot? or has god just left altogether or even still just never existed? perhaps magic cannot exist in an educated and skeptical mind? after all ignorance is bliss and there is a fine line between genius and insanity. either god does not exist, there is no meaning or magic, or god simply does not care, and even still no meaning or magic, you choose!

What created the universe was the big bang. There is no evidence for any other cause. (Before you say there is no evidence for the current big bang theory you don;t know about the abundance of light elements, the cosmic microwave background, large scale structure and Hubble's Law. I'm a physical chemistry graduate not a cosmologists, but even I can grasp the concept of a gravitational singularity.

You can pin those on a god if you like. Or you can use your intellect and reason.

Why does there have to be a reason for everything in the way you mean it. If something or animal doesn't work they will evolve it. No creator just the universe bursting into life and the self-selection.



Look it up..even if you don't believe it it will open your mind to other ideas....Good luck.

We do not know. It is quite possible that their is a creator, or creators that created the universe. Their is an infinite number of possibilities. We're only beginning to scratch the surface of what's out there. But our science is still very primitive, and most of our theories today, will be thrown out for new ones once new discoveries arise. So we have to be ignorant for now, the answer we seek is one humanity has asked since we were drawing in caves.

There may be, but so far there is no reason to think there is. The more you investigate the Universe *properly* (ie objectively) the more it seems as though there's no reason to it. Consider this, though: you're saying that everything must have a reason behind it, because, why? Because it seems so complex? Because we exist? If that's the case, then you are saying that a Universe or life cannot exist without a creator, so that means the creator must also have been created. And so you get an infinite regression, which isn't logical. A spontaneous creation of the Universe is uncomfortable, but it makes much more sense.

No, there is NOT a reason for everything. Some things just are. When your toast lands butter-side down, is there some hidden meaning in that for your life from the universe? Of course not. Don't be ridiculous.

You are correct. According to the Bible, Jehovah God created everything in regards to the universe. (Genesis 1:1, Revelation 4:11) Everything does have a purpose, though we haven't even begun to see what all those purposes are yet. With that in mind though, it makes sense that in the future the majority of those deemed as righteous will live forever on Earth. (Psalms 37:29, Proverbs 2:21) During those endless years we'll be able to gain a better understanding of life itself, as well as Jehovah.

There is no design nor evidence for it. There is only simple cause and effect. Things are the way they are for a reason, of course, but that reason doesn't have to be a god. Christians, and indeed all theists, either can't, or won't learn enough about the natural world and it's workings to see this. They can't explain it, and because they can't explain it they think "GODIDIT"

My aunt and uncle were on the ouija board when they we're kids and now as a result they are the religious fanatics you're talking about. They are involved in cults. My aunt thinks she's Pentecostal,.but she's not. She's looking up all these weirdos online who are cultists. My uncle is involved in am actual cult, the latter day saints or jahovahs witness. So they're both drawn to irrational senses. Yes God created the earth. It would be either rebelious or crazy if we didn't believe in God after seeing how something supernatural made us living.

You demonstrate the fundamental error in religious thinking - that there is a "reason" for anything, everything. That the universe has meaning - beyond what you attribute to it.



It is a basic human need to explain what you experience. Thunder was thought to be a god stomping angrily across the sky, offended by something people did. There's got to be a reason the primitive but inquiring mind wanted to know.

You observe that things are connected. Yes, they are. How else would things appear? If you want to say "Connected things are connected" you must also recognize the randomness of things.

As far as a reason for everything, that's an age-old question that cannot be answered by simplistic statements like "A supernatural thing did it." Well, it can be answered like that, but it means someone is guessing. Does that work for you? It doesn't work for me. A creator being raises more questions than it answers.

"There must be a reason for everything, right?"



Why MUST there be a reason? Human minds may think so, but that doesn't mean it IS so. We want certainty about everything, especially for things we can't understand, hence religions. Maybe there is no reason for anything. Can you deal with that?
2016-01-11 09:46:44 UTC
Yes, it was made. Not saying to believe it though. Some of us have no choice in the matter though because the arseholes made us know.



It was not however made for our enjoyment or pleasure. In fact they appear to be showing us various sorts of complete bullshit. They think we need to know what bullshit is. Bullshit everywhere, it's all intentionally created bullshit so that we have an understanding of bullshit.



Bullshit ways of doing **** and a bullshit environment, bullshit bodies. They are showing us wrong **** and bullshit.



They made us all screw ups and made everything shitty to. They want us to learn from our mistakes and think we need an understanding of the various spectrums of conscious existance.



This whole thing is basically the opposite of what they mean to give us. They think if we didn't do it we could not understand and thus not function well.



They wanted to give us perfection to begin with but we would be stupid if they tried to do that. They think we need to understand spectrums.

'Reason' is something supplied by the human mind. Everything may be connected (quantum physicists would have us believe so) but that may be the result of a multiplicity of causes. Everything is connected in one sense if its present state is the result of a sequential operation of physical laws and the causality they describe. If you seek God in all this it may be that you have to re-define what you mean by God.

If matter continues on its course we can come back in a billion trillion years and say that whatever existed then is the effect of whatever exists now. And so it goes, whatever existed before the big bang had something to do with it existing now although we don't know how it was before the big bang. If we manage to survive I am sure the future will reveal its secrets to us as we learn and create technology to match.

There are no reasons for everything. Some things are best left unanswered. We choose to do what is right or wrong in our lives. There are consequences and ramifications to the behaviour and actions we make as mortal human beings on this planet. Faith replaces certain aspects in our lives where there is no reason to be found.

Short answer: yes.



Slightly longer answer: I couldn't possibly tell you. You've got to figure it out on your own, in accordance with your own path. Go on your own search, find your own way of connecting with that place, your own mental frameworks for thinking about it and trying to describe it, your own spiritual practices that work for you, etc...

MAN’S DOMINION

WHY GOD CREATED MAN

God appraises man as the highest of creation.



Man is Worth:

1. Making him lord of creation. (Genesis 1:26-31; Psalms 83:8)

2. All of millenniums of effort to redeem him. (Hebrews 1:1-3; 2 Peter 3:9)

3. More than the whole world (Mark 8:36)

4. Giving of God’s only begotten Son to redeem him (John 3:16)

5. Restoration to his original dominion as eternal ruler of creation (Daniel 7:18, 27; Revelation 5:10; 22:4-5)

6. Being entrusted with eternal authority and life to help GOD administer the affairs of the universe (Romans 8:17-18; Revelation 2:27-28; 5:10; 22:4-5)

7. Being placed on an equal basis with Jesus Christ in redemption, as to: righteousness (1 John 3:7), Provision by promise (1 Corinthians 3:22; 2 Corinthians 1:20; Hebrews 8:6) Nature (2 Peter 1:4) Works (John 14:12), being joint heirs in inheritance (Romans 8:17), sufferings and future glory (Matthew 10:24-25; Romans 8:18; 2 Timothy 2:13; 1 Peter 2:21; 4:1; Revelation 2:26-27; 5:10; 22:4-5)

8. Making provision for body , soul, spirit, here and hereafter.



Satan’s followers of angels and demons are determined to cause people to turn from believing in GOD and causing confusion in man’s beliefs. It is a delaying action, so we will not know who we really are!

Sorry there is no evidence for fate, destiny, karma, or any other pre-planned events. Such events imply that there is a sentient universe/being pulling the strings and there is just no evidence of that either. I think people want answers and want answers to make since to them, even though they arent based in any reality. It is easier to understand and sometimes comforting to make sense of our lives with fate, god (s), destiny, etc. Of course things happen for a reason, but said reasons are based in reality.

Ex: Why did grandma get cancer and die?

Answer: Well it was planned by god to take her to heaven, or it was her fate therefor she was meant to die.

Rational answer: Grandma got cancer for a variety of reason. For one was around radioactive material which caused damage to her cells thus causing her to have cancer.

(Revelation 4:11) “You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created.”



(Psalm 115:16) As for the heavens, they belong to Jehovah, But the earth he has given to the sons of men.



(Genesis 1:27, 28) God went on to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.  Further, God blessed them, and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.”



(Isaiah 45:18) 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: “I am Jehovah, and there is no one else.



These scriptures stated above, make clear how the earth came into existence and the purpose of the earth.

God created us for His glory. One has the most meaningful life when they are united to God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour.



The sin of our first parents (Adam and Eve) brought about the fallen state of mankind. Humans are sinful because of their iniquity, sins bring curses and both iniquity and curses pass down the generations if they are not cleansed by the blood of Christ. Children are born with defects and suffer unfortunate circumstances because of curses due to their ancestors’ unrepented sins. Hereditary illness is an example of a curse. In the future, God will make a new Heaven and earth, and there will be no more suffering, sickness, sin, evil, old age or death. God’s people (those who accept His Son Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord) will joyfully and peacefully live in this new and perfect earth, with the Lord Jesus Christ as their King forever. See chapter 21 of the Book of Revelation.



Almighty God was, is and will always be triune (one God in three persons, not three gods). God is comprised of the Father, the Son (Lord Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. Each person of the Triune Godhead has a different role. There is only one God (Isaiah 43:10-11; 44:6,8; 45:21-22; 46:9; John 17:3; 1 John 5:20-21). The Father is God (1 Peter 1:2; Philippians 2:11), the Lord Jesus Christ is God (Matthew 1:23; John 1:1; 20:28; Hebrews 1:8; Hebrews 13:8; Revelation 1:7-8; 2 Peter 1:1; Titus 2:13) and the Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4; Acts 28:25-27; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 3:17).



Without God, the spiritual part of the human being is dead (Ephesians 2:5, Colossians 2:13). The sin of our first parents (Adam and Eve) caused the separation between God and man. Romans 6:23 says the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Sin causes us to be separated from God which results in spiritual death. Christ, the 2nd Person of the Triune Godhead was made flesh (through the immaculate conception) and paid the price for our sins by dying on the cross so we could through faith in Christ as our Saviour be instantly redeemed and united to God and have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit who teaches us, comforts us and grants us fruits to live in righteousness and gifts to help and edify the Church. There is no redemption or unity to God apart from receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as one’s Saviour and Lord.



God the Father lives within believers (John 14:23), God the Holy Spirit lives within believers (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) and God the Son also lives within believers (2 Corinthians 13:5, Galatians 2:20). Because Christ lives in us, we are a new being, having our old self with its evil practices stripped off, and we are being renewed and remoulded after the image of God, in order to bring us to a full knowledge of Himself (Colossians 3:9-10). Because He lives in us, we have His peace (John 16:33), we have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16), we have His strength to do all things (Philippians 4:13) and we are a chosen race, the King’s priests, the holy nation and God’s own people, chosen to proclaim the wonderful acts of God (Peter 2:9). As Christians, the Lord Jesus Christ is always interceding for us (Romans 8:34, Hebrews 7:25), He is preparing a place for us in heaven (John 14:1–3) and He baptizes us with the Holy Spirit and with fire (Matthew 3:11).



The truth about Jesus Christ can be found only in the word of God which is the Holy Bible. Three days after the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, He resurrected from the dead (Luke 24:1-8; Acts 10:40; 1 Corinthians 15:4) and 40 days later, He ascended into Heaven (Acts 1:3; Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:9-11).



1 Timothy 3:16

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”



Jesus Christ is Lord over all:



Philippians 2:9-11

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.



False doctrines claim that there are several paths to God. The word of God tells us that THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO GOD AND THIS IS THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AS ONE’S LORD AND SAVIOUR.



John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.



John 3:36

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him



Shortly after physical death, humans pass into either Heaven or Hell. Before Christ’s sacrifice, access into Heaven was not possible for human souls. The souls of those who loved and served the true God were kept in the paradise part of a spiritual place within the earth called Sheol, and the other part of Sheol was a prison of torment where the souls of those who rejected God ended up (Luke 16:19-31). There was a spiritual gulf fixed between these two parts so no soul from one side could cross over to the next (Luke 16:26). Access into Heaven was made possible for humans by Christ’s sacrifice and right after He died on the cross He went into the paradise part of Sheol, told the good souls (who were there for thousands of years) what He did and took them up to Heaven (Matthew 12:40; Ephesians 4:8–10; 1 Peter 3:18–20). The paradise part of Sheol no longer exists but the prison part of Sheol still does. This part of torment is called Hades or Hell. Those who reject God by not receiving Christ (1 John 2:23) end up there and then go into the Lake of Fire after the Millennium (Revelation 20:15). Earthly fire, Godly fire (the type Jesus baptizes with) and the tormenting fire of the Lake of Fire are three different types of fire. There is also demonic fire which demons can produce.



Reincarnation is a false teaching (Hebrews 9:27). The Lord Jesus said that the human being’s afterlife state whether torment or paradise, will be eternal (Matthew 25:46). In the original text, the Greek word for eternal, aiōnion is used. He didn’t say that we would be born again and again until we got it right and received liberation. He would not have made that huge sacrifice for us if we could have had unity to God another way, and if there was another way, He would have taught that. The Lord said he could have employed legions of angels to prevent His crucifixion (Matthew 26:53), but because of His great and perfect love for humanity, He chose to endure a very painful death so we could be redeemed and united to God.



The instant a person has faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, they receive salvation, redemption, unity to God and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.



Iniquities (tendencies that cause one to sin) pass down the generation line (Numbers 14:18). After one accepts Lord Jesus as their Saviour, God forgives their sins as they truly repent and removes their iniquities (evil tendencies) in the transformation process which makes one more and more like Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Titus 3:5; Hebrews 9:12-14). After genuinely accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, ALL sinners (alcoholics, liars, drug addicts, fornicators etc.) will be saved and transformed. Each believer is cleansed by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and receives the infilling of the Holy Spirit who renews them.



REDEMPTION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH



Because mankind is incapable of meeting God’s standard of perfection necessary to abide in God’s presence (Romans 3:19-20,23), God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the total debt for the believer’s sins and mercifully credits to his account Christ’s righteousness (Romans 3:21-28,5:1-11; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21). Jesus’ gracious act of atonement was complete and covers all sin (Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:9). Salvation is not based on good deeds but according to the mercy of God (Titus 3:4-5). Believers are justified by faith; it is a gift by God’s grace (Romans 4:3-8; Ephesians 2:8-9). A true, living faith will result in a desire to live a holy, loving life of good works (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 5:6; James 2:14-26), but failure to be absolutely successful at righteous living does not negate the believer’s justified status.



If you sincerely say this prayer, your sins will be washed away, you will be redeemed to God, be saved from eternal torment and inherit the Kingdom of God:



"Dear Jesus, I am a sinner. I repent of my sins. Please forgive me and save me by your shed blood. Come into my heart. I want to receive you as my own personal Lord and Savior. Amen"
