Creation

The first person to spot the monster was a young girl playing by the lake. Her loud scream caught the attention of others nearby.

Yes, Aristotle believed in the existence of a divine being as an eternal and unchanging mover that set the universe in motion. However, he did not believe in a personal God who created the universe in the same way as religious traditions do.

Let us turn to Genesis ch.1v 6,7 and 8. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

This (firmament also includes the apparent surface of the imaginary sphere on which celestial bodies appear to be projected). All within () was copied and pasted.

The creation story in Luzon, Philippines, involves the supreme deity Gugurang creating the earth, sea, and sky. Gugurang tasked dormants with shaping the land, and then created the first man and woman - Malakas and Maganda. They lived peacefully until a serpent caused strife between them.

Creationists typically believe that the universe, Earth, and all living things were created by a supreme being, often the God of the Christian Bible, as described in Genesis. They may reject the theory of evolution and instead believe that the diversity of life on Earth can be explained by special creation events. Creationists often interpret scientific evidence, such as the fossil record, in ways that support their beliefs about the origins of life.

In the Inca creation myth, the sun was considered the father of the first Inca emperor, Manco Capac, and his siblings. It was believed that the sun god, Inti, chose them to lead and establish the Inca empire. Inti was considered a benevolent deity, providing warmth, light, and sustenance to the people.

No.

Another answer:

Yes. Creationist do not accept the theory of evolution as a valid explanation for the development of life and the diversity of species on earth. Many biblical creationist believe creation took place in a literal six day period while other Christians hold to a doctrine of creation without accepting all the aspects of biblical creationism. Biblical creationism is the literal belief of a 6-day creation as some people understand when they read Genesis. As such then Biblical creationism really happens as there are Creationists within the Christian Church (note that creationism is not exclusive to Christianity; other religions have their origin-myths, and believers who hold those myths to be literal truth: creationists).

However, only a small proportion of Christians believe Genesis as literally true, and these are invariably those who have not really studied to depth either the evidence for evolution, nor the deep truths of Genesis, preferring to ignore scientific evidence and reading Genesis simply and naively at face value.

If you asked did 'Creation' really happen, there is no doubt that the universe, space, matter and even time came into existence at a single point in the distant past, whether it is called the 'moment of Creation' or 'the Big Bang'. Both Creationists and scientists agree on this. However, all evidence points to a moment of Creation around 13.7 billion years ago with life on earth evolving over millions of years. However Creationists ignore this compelling evidence and insist on interpreting Genesis literally despite it being written as an allegorical Hebrew poem and never intended, either then or since, as a scientific or literal chronological explanation of the beginning of the world.

So if you mean did 'Creationism' happen - the answer is 'yes' as there are Creationists around today. However, if you mean 'did Creatiion happen' the theist's answer is also 'yes' but almost certainly not as a 6-day Creation that Creationists insist by their naive interpretation of Genesis.

God made physical light energy to exist before there were any actual 'light givers' such as the sun, moon, (reflected of course) stars, etc. This is seen by some to emphasize the fact that light energy is more fundamental than the existence of any 'light giver'. It would thus make no difference to God whether He created waves of light energy or actual physical bodies that emitted light. This of course He did later as noted in the question.

Some have also pointed out that God Himself is referred to as 'light' and the book of Revelation notes that God Himself is to be the source of light at the end of time when the world and universe as we currently know them cease to exist. This seen in one sense as re-creation, or return to an original condition of perfection, so it may give us a clue as to what happened originally.

Creation of the universe begins with the 'Big Bang', some 11 billion years ago. Stars formed and grew old, and new stars formed, but for billions of years there was no earth. In the neighbourhood of our sun, a giant star exploded as a supernova, an event that scientists see occasionally. A very small part of the material given off by this explosion was captured as an accretion disc in orbit around our sun.

This disc broke up into gaseous balls, one of which was to become our earth. It cooled until the hot gases condensed into a rocky sphere orbiting the sun. A billion years later, primitive life forms began to appear.

Both the Big Bang theory and the Hindu creation story describe the origin of the universe and all living beings. They both suggest that everything began from a single point and expanded to form the vastness we see today. Additionally, both narratives involve the concept of cycles of creation and destruction.

G-D did not need to take a rest. HE took a rest, because people need to rest up and sleep after working hard. To quote Christ Jesus: "Man was not created for the Sabbath, the Sabbath was created for Man." G-D rested because people need to rest up and therefore as a lesson to humans (created on the 6th day), take a rest and get some sleep after working hard.

In the Western world, Special Creation was the dominant theory of the origin of the world and life in it from the sixteenth century until the nineteenth century when it was supplanted by scientific theories, particularly the Theory of Evolution.
Special Creation was given special impetus in the 1880s in an attempted response to the Theory of Evolution. Some Creationists asserted that the the universe and all life in it were created by God in a very short space of time, a few thousand years ago, just as they believed that Genesis describes creation. They say that Genesis is an accurate historical account of creation of the universe over the course of six twenty-four hour days.
The Roman Catholic Church sees "special creation" somewhat differently. The Pontifical Biblical Commission issued a decree ratified by Pope Pius X on June 30, 1909 that "special creation" only applied to man, not to the other species. In 2004, the International Theological Commission, under the presidency of Cardinal Ratzinger, published a paper in which it accepted the scientific explanation of the history of the universe, commencing in the Big Bang about 15 billion years ago, and the evolution of all life on earth, including humans, from the micro organisms commencing about 4 billion years ago. In modern Catholic teaching, the doctrine of "special creation" refers only to the origin of the human soul.

Atheistic creationism is the view held by a number of idealist and Buddhist philosophers especially in the 19th century and the early 20th century.

Basically every object and thing in the universe even down to the smallest atom is a mental creation, created out of mind. Minds are indeed the creators of the universe. But unlike George Berkeleys subjective idealism which was theistic for atheistic creationism there is no divine mind, there is no God. All creations were created from human minds or other forms of life.

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time is intertwined with space in a four-dimensional spacetime. Time does not have a distinct beginning as it is part of this interconnected continuum. This means that asking when time began may not have a meaningful answer within this framework.

So many have looked at Creation, but come up with so many, and contradictory, answers, that there must be a danger in hearing what one wants to hear, and seeing what one wants to see. Perhaps Creation is so rich and glorious that each of us only sees a small part. The solution might be, as with one's fellow humans, to approach it with an open mind and a loving heart, and perhaps the answer that fills your needs will present itself to you.

Creationism is considered a Pseudoscience because it is impossible to prove that a divine being created a world, because we cannot study divine beings. Science only deals with things that can be observed and reported, and is based on facts, not beliefs.

Evolution does not concern the origin of the universe. Evolution is a theory concerning the origin of species--diverse biological organisms--via mechanisms of inheritance with modification.

The origin of the universe is best dealt with by the Big Bang theory.
