How did God form himself?

We human beings should not be worried about how did God form Himself because it is being our comprehension. If we try to close our eyes and see from our nose, can we? We can't! Because the nose is not meant to see. The nose is given comprehension of smell. So also, we are human beings have not been given the power to comprehend God. How did God form Himself is God's business. We know that there is a power, a Creator we call God. God is not a statue or a saint, God does not belong to any religion. Because of these fairy tales we have been taught, we have not been able to understand the meaning of God. We have wrongly defined God. We have misunderstood, misinterpreted the meaning of God. God is birthless and deathless. God is eternal. We have to learn to realize that we ourselves are nothing, but a particle of God, a manifestation of God.

Why do other Christians criticize Ken Ham's views on creationism?

Oh, dude, it's like Ken Ham is out here trying to mix science and religion like it's a cocktail party gone wrong. Some Christians criticize him because they're all about that separation of church and state, while others just can't handle his whole "young Earth" theory. It's like watching a sitcom where the laugh track is just crickets.

What does the holy war mean?

Did God create everything by speaking it into existence?

Yes, in Genesis chapter 1. Another, more primitive creation story in Genesis chapter 2 tells us that God could not make living things out of nothing. In this second creation account, God created man out of moist earth, then made animals, also out of moist earth. He created Eve out of a rib he took from Adam's side.

What is the creation story according to christians?

The detailed answer to this question can be found in the first chapter of the first book of the Bible: Genesis. In short, Christians believe that God (Elohim, Yahweh, Jehovah, etc.) created the universe and everything that exists in six days, and that God rested on the seventh day.

1.) On the first day God created light and separated it from darkness. The light was called day and the dark was called night.

2.) On the second day God created the firmament (Heaven or Atmosphere) and separated it from the oceans.

3.) On the third day God created the land (it was divided from the seas) and vegetation was grown.

4.) On the fourth day God created the sun, moon, and stars to fill the sky. The sun was used to light the day and the moon was used to light the night.

5.) On the fifth day God created the sea creatures to fill the oceans, and the birds to fill the skies.

6.) On the sixth day God created the animals to fill the lands, and man was created as the pinnacle of creation; he was purposed to populate and subdue the earth.

7.) On the seventh day God rested from all His work.

*The length of each day is debated by theologians. Some believe the days are literal 24 hr. periods (Young-Earth), while others believe that each day is figurative, representing an unknown length of time (Old-Earth). This distinction does not affect the belief that one God created all that exists.

How does God's work of creation show divine sovereignty?

Genesis 1:1 tells us that, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Because of this creative process he is rightly called the sovereign of the universe. He created all things thus he has the right to have that title.

Why is the creation story important to Christians?

Answer: The 'Creation Story' is important to Christians as it explains who God is and who humans are -God is the almighty, all-wise creator and we are His creation, made in His image and accountable to Him. The Bible account also explains that sin, death, pain and suffering are not part of God's original 'very good' creation, but came afterwards as a result of sin - disobedience and rebellion against God. This also brings with it (for those Christians who believe the whole Bible) the realization that the 'nature red in tooth and claw' of evolution are not God's way of creating.

How did the southwest Indians solve the problem of having little water?

Southwest Indians used various methods to cope with limited water resources, such as building elaborate irrigation systems to channel water from rivers or underground sources to their fields. They also practiced water conservation techniques like capturing rainwater and reusing wastewater for irrigation. Additionally, they strategically located their communities near water sources and often relied on seasonal migration to access water in different areas.

What does the Anasazi creation story tell us about their culture?

They were well connected with the Earth. They found balance within their world. Anasazi "The People of the Desert". They believed that their creator provided everything from where they were placed (rocks, sand etc)

Was there anything before Earth was made?

One thought:
According to the Bible, God was already here . As 'King of eternity' he has no beginning, he has ALWAYS been, so for a certainty, HE was here before the earth (Psalm 90:2/Psalm 93:2/1 Timothy 1:17)).
Plus, the scripture at Genesis 1:1 says: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth". So, atleast in OUR universe, the heavens (outer space) were here to put the earth and planets and stars into.(Hebrews 1:10/Nehemiah 9:6)
What God was doing and what was in existence in other areas, the Bible does not touch on.

What event publicly debated the subject of evolution and creationism and their place in education?

Several events have addressed this issue.

As far as legal debates you could argue that it was the basis for the scopes monkey trial.

More recently, there was a legal battle in Dover, Pennsylvania over the validity of "Intelligent Design" as science. It was ruled that "Intelligent Design" is a rebranding of "creationism", which has 2 issues rendering it inappropriate for a science class.

1. It is a religious view.

2. It is not supported by any scientific evidence.

Therefore, creationism may only be taught in public schools as a philosophical belief.

Why didn't the dinosaurs enter the Ark?

It needs to be clearly understood that many dinosaurs died in the global flood of Noah's day. Secondly, it is also highly likely that there were representative kinds of dinosaurs, most likely young specimens, taken aboard the ark. There is absolutely no reason to assume that they weren't taken aboard, as they would have been included in the 'two of every kind' that God brought to Noah, to preserve genetic diversity on the earth.

Also, it must be remembered that the climate of the earth underwent drastic change due to the processes associated with the flood, including the ice-age which followed it. As a part of this process, the dinosaurs which went off the ark most likely then became extinct. It is interesting to note in this connection, the widespread existence of 'monster' or 'dragon' accounts, commonly interpreted as legends among many of the people groups of the earth, including in China and some quite recent accounts from England.

So, to quite simply summarize the answer: Noah took dinosaurs on the ark. Secondly they became extinct afterwards, in the drastically altered post-flood environment.

They must have been on the ark probably as adolescents to compensate for their size.

Why birds can reproduce in Antarctica when temperatures are below cero?

Because God created them to do so. 21 And God created the great sea creatures* and all living creatures* that move and swarm in the waters according to their kinds and every winged flying creature according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 With that God blessed them, saying: "Be fruitful and become many and fill the waters of the sea,+ and let the flying creatures become many in the earth." Genesis 1:31 31 After that God saw everything he had made, and look! it was very good.+ And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

Did God create animals on the same day he made man?

Yes. Birds and fish, however, were created the day before.

Day by day, God created the universe and everything in it (Genesis ch.1).God created the universe out of nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Rashi commentary to Genesis 1:14; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30). Nachmanides on Gen. 1:1 states emphatically that this is a fundamental tradition.Note that the Torah, in describing the Creation, deliberately employs brevity and ellipsis, just as it does in many other topics. See the Talmud, Hagigah 11b.


On day 1: God created the universe in general, light, and this Earth. The light was not the same as that of the sun. Rather, it was light that God created before the sun, and which emanated from a point in space without any physical source; like what we might term a "white hole."

On day 2: God created the separation between the Earth and the upper atmosphere.

On day 3: God separated the continents from the oceans, and created plants.

On day 4: God created the sun, moon, and stars.

On day 5: God created birds and fish.

On day 6: God created animals and people.

On day 7: God ceased creating, thereby creating the concept of rest.

How is it possible that dinosaurs existed long before humans if man was God's first creation?

According to the Genesis account, animals were created during the fifth and sixth creative periods or 'days.' If the Hebrew expression translated "great sea monsters" [Hebrew, tan‧ni‧nim′] includes dinosaurs, which often inhabited swampy, watery areas, this would mean that dinosaurs were created on the fifth "day." (Gen. 1:21) It is not know whether they continued to exist until man was created (toward the close of the sixth "day").

Do all angels have wings?

Are all fairies real? Sorry to answer a question with a question. Assuming fairies are real, surely as not all humans have limbs, not all fairies will have wings. Just an idea. Also just to fully answer your question. No. Sidhe (basically pronounced "seed") are an evil race of fairies who use their powers to disrupt other races and wars between them and other fairy races were not uncommon. The Sidhe Battle of 849 is now famous for having nearly destroyed Tir Na Nog. The Sidhe are wingless fairies with long nails and dark hair. Not under any circumstances are they to be trusted, and be wary, for they can assume other forms. They have powerful magics, and will sometimes ally with other races to fulfill their own ends, but once those ends are met, all bets are off. But do fairies wear boots?

On which day did God create the animals?

On the sixth day (Genesis ch.1).

Day by day, God created the universe and its contents (Genesis ch.1).God created the universe out of nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Rashi commentary to Genesis 1:14; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30).Note that the Torah, in describing the Creation, deliberately employs brevity and ellipsis, just as it does in many other topics.

Could the behemoths in the Bible be dinosaurs?

Yes, that's exactly what they are!

if you read chapter 40 of JOB you can also read of another creature called LEVIATHAN, some speculate that behemoth was a wild ox, but the Bible does not say, so take it for face value.

Research different theories on the origin of life?

if your not religious, comets brought ice, the ice melted and then with other compounds, elements, and heat life came to be or maybe from deep ocean vents where there isn't light but there is heat and the inards of earth Some believe God made the whole earth, however their are many theories. It all depends on your religious beliefs, or lack there of.

What happened on the 2nd day of creation?

On the second day of creation, God created the raqia, or firmament, to separate the waters above from the waters below. According to the "white hole cosmology" developed by Dr. Russell Humphreys and published in his 1994 book Starlight & Time, the firmament includes all of space from the earth's atmosphere to the outer edges of the universe.

(The word raqia and its English equivalent "firmament" suggest solid material, not emptiness and void. This actually corroborates nicely with modern ideas about outer space.)

The "waters above" the firmament, according to Humphreys, probably froze and fractured off into planet-sized balls of ice on the edges of the universe, thus far beyond detection from Earth. This idea comes from Psalm 148:4.

The "waters below" became the planet Earth. (Solid land was created on the third day.)

What do birds think about?

I do not believe there is anyway to figure that out.

i agree with the first answer but if i were to say i think they would thing about what it would be like to be human

I'm pretty sure they have nightmares, along with pleasant dreams. I have a chicken that takes naps on my lap, and she'll coo sometimes, and other times she'll flap her wings and squak in her sleep, then wake up and be freaking out. It's certaintly interesting.
