How was the creation story passed on?
For thousands of years before people could read or write stories were told from person to person. Sitting around the fire someone would tell a story. They were oral poems so they could be remembered as they were told. Eventually a storyteller would start to travel from place to place telling stories and the latest news.
How would a naturalist view God?
Dictionaries define naturalists as:
1. Experts in (or students of) natural history, or (2), people who practice naturalism in art or literature.
Presumably, just as the general population, and scientists among them, include believers in God as well as non-believers, so also naturalists would not all fit into any one category, though perhaps a majority would identify as non-believers.
Note that both atheists and religious people espouse a wide variety of views concerning God, so it is impossible to generalize.

Ways to be good stewards of god s creation?
Recycling is one way to be a good steward of the environment. Using fewer resources is another.
Was the original Adam a monkey?
No, the original Adam was not a monkey. Evolutionists believe man evolved from monkeys, and do not believe in an original Adam. Creationists believe the original Adam was created by God in the form we know today, but perfect.
No, Brittney Spears is not God. Actually it can either be the Father, Jesus or the Holy Spirit. You can name either one. Hope this helps guys.
You may want to rewrite your question, because it should be made more clear.
If you mean "is it possible to create God," I believe that the answer is no.
If, however, you're asking if it's possible that God created the universe, the answer to all believers is yes. We believe that God having created the universe is the only plausible, logical and reasonable explanation for all of existence.
Creation is the act,function and process in bringing forth existence of both palpable physical forms and impalpable abstract concepts. Man as a physiological entity is a palpable biophysical form in existence like any biotic entity created through the evolutionary biochemical process into a complex organised body, constituting functional cells.
The knowledge/cognition of such a biotic entity makes Man his own creation in identifying himself as a special species apart from other living forms through his logical cognitive processes as scientific facts.
Creation as impalpable concept is any idea or belief through cognitive processes in theological , metaphysical or supernatural convictions in the existence of a 'Creator' or a functional creative force that as the origin or agent is responsible for the creation of Man.
A paradox is observed in the theological concept of the creation of Man as a biological existence yet rejects the functional 'creator' as in a minimalist theory with non interference between the created and the Creator in creating the cognitive Man.
What is the ontological theory?
- I think of God as the greatest conceivable being.
- A being can exist merely as an idea, or in reality.
- It is greater to exist in reality rather than just as an idea.
- If I thought of this greatest conceivable being as existing merely as an idea, then I could think of a greater being, i.e. a being that exists in reality.
- This greatest conceivable being must exist in reality too; therefore God exists.
You should be aware that this kind of sophistry is not the clearest proof of God's existence. Rather, the bootomless wisdom which we see within the creation points much more clearly to God than the arguments of philosophers.
Does the Bible speak of people before Adam and Eve?
We do find that the creation of Adam and Eve is in what is known as the second creation story (Genesis 2:4b-25), and there is another creation story in Genesis 1:1-2:4a). Jewish scholars, early in the Common Era (CE), in trying to harmonise the two accounts decided that the first story might have described people created before Adam. They believed that one of these earlier creations might have been Lilith, who is mentioned in the Book of Isaiah and features elsewhere in Jewish tradition, where she was Adam's first wife.
Christians tend to read the second creation story as the fuller, more detailed account of the creation of man (and woman) that the first story simply reported, ignoring the major disjunctions between the two creation stories, thereby making Adam the first person in both stories.
However, Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that to understand Genesis we must scrupulously avoid reading into the second story any facts or notions taken from the first, and vice versa. He says the second creation story departs from the first not only in content but also in tone, mood and orientation, and the two stories, which had two different authors, are entirely unrelated. As they are two independent stories, neither can be said to have occurred before the other. In biblical terms, there was no one before Adam.
What is the third thing that God made?
Creationism in one sense has always existed where there has been belief in the one true God of the Bible. He is first and foremost the almighty and all-wise creator. The standard Bible view on creation was effectively the only view until around the time of Charles Darwin. The recent creationist movement began around the mid-20th century. A number of names stand out as those who began this movement. Seventh Day Adventist Dr. George McReady Price espoused in a number of works views supporting a literal 6-day creation. Alfred M Rehwinkel, a Lutheran, wrote a book simply entitled "The Flood." Probably the best known work was that of Dr John Whitcomb and Dr Henry Morris entitled "The Genesis Flood" (1961). This work is commonly recognized as starting the modern creationist movement.
What were the six days of the Jewish creation story?
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). 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.

Can you believe in the big bang theory and the creation story?
It's hard to believe in any of those, but all the scientists agree that something caused a huge explosion of mass to populate the universe. In my Opinion, I believe in the big bang theory, but my biggest question was: what started it off? For every bomb there has to be something to activate it, otherwise, it would explode while being created. So yes, you can believe in them or not, it's a matter of personal opinion.
Why was man created different from other creatures?
First we need to see in what way we are different from other creatures. We walk upright, have opposable thumbs and relatively large brains. This has enabled us to fill a niche in the environment that no other creature could fill, and even create our own niche by altering the environment. Some say that another difference from other creatures is that humans have souls.
The physical differences are easily explained. They are the result of evolution, enabling humans to survive and flourish in every continent. We can never prove we have souls, but if this is a difference from other animals it would be because God wished us to continue after we die, with him in heaven. But this can also be wishful thinking.

Is it true that everything there is or was started with a dream?
As God is the creator or organizer of all things. He would have certainly made a blue print of all which He intended to bring into being. This would have been retained in His mind, not as a dream but as something He intended to create, and not by chance but by a carefully thought out plan.
Another question arises, does God dream?
Is Satan the true creator of the universe?
No, Satan is not the true creator of the universe. In many religious beliefs, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, God is believed to be the creator of the universe. Satan is often depicted as a fallen angel who opposes God and spreads evil.
What is the catechism of creation?
The catechism of creation refers to a set of beliefs or teachings that explore the theological understanding of creation within a religious context. It often includes doctrines related to the origins of the universe, the role of a higher power in creation, and humanity's place within the natural world.
Who concluded that humans were created in 4004 BCE?
Bishop James Ussher of Armagh published this date for the beginning of the creation. Although he used biblical chronology to arrive around that date from God's word.
This has been confirmed as remarkably accurate by the often ignored observations of science about the salt and silt in the seas, the decline of the earth's magnetic field and rotation, the burning down of the sun and the recession of the moon suggesting an age of the earth of only a few thousand years.
No they are held up by something from your forehead and connected to your brain which is what makes it work. Also is what we call a vein.
What is the creation story of taoism?
In Taoism, the creation story comes from the Tao Te Ching, which describes the Tao (the Way) as the ultimate source of everything in the universe. The Tao is considered to be both the creator and the sustainer of all things, operating in a cyclical manner of creation, growth, decline, and transformation. This creation story emphasizes harmony, balance, and the interconnectedness of all things in the universe.
No the story of Medusa starts as Medusa was a beautiful women, a goddess was jealous of her so turned her and her two friends into gorgons, a creature that couldn't look apon any living thing. After time her friends both died leaving Medusa was the only Gorgon left.

So he finds the three moeri (daughters of Nyx) who tell him where to find Medusa. After cutting of Her head he shows it to the king who by seeing the head turns to stone and he rules the kingdom and saves his mum :-)
What is the main theme of the Iroquois creation story?
The main theme of the Iroquois creation story is the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of maintaining balance and harmony with nature. It emphasizes respect for the Earth and all its creatures as part of a sacred, interdependent community.
How did God create man's soul?
Genesis 2:7 7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.The scriptures sometimes refer to a body and spirit joined together as a soul. Accordingly the term soul is used in conjunction with the body and the spirit of man.
What similar event is found in all three creation stories?
The first biblical creation story is in Genesis 1:1-2:4a. The second is in Genesis 2:4b-25 and chapter 3. Some regard Genesis chapter 5 as a third creation story, similar to the second, but clearly a little different, but most scholars generally ignore the differences and regard it as a parallel restating of the previous chapters. Fragments of a further (third) creation story can be found in the psalms and the Book of Job.
Each is entirely different in content and style. For example, the first creation story has man (both male and female) created after all the other animals, while the second has man (Adam) created first, then all the animals, then finally Eve. The third creation story is too fragmentary to follow fully, but it does have God defeating the Leviathan, a chaos monster already known from pre-Israelite religion. The one event that all would undoubtedly have in common is the creation of man.

Can you learn patience for spouse?
This question is not clearly defined so I will treat it as two questions. The first "Can you teach your spouse patience?" The answer is yes, you can teach by your own example. The second "Can you learn patience from your spouse?"Yes you can if the spouse shows the qualities of patience, you my learn from their example.
