Creation

The Universe has existed for an estimated 13 billion years, since the Big Bang. It is possible that time itself started at that moment. So yes, in any case that's more than 10 thousand years.

Simply because the creator itself is Good. There was no sin in the world and the creation was pure and devoid of any negative thing.

The order of Creation is as follows:

Day 1: Light and darkness; day and night

Day 2: Sky

Day 3: Land and seas[ vegetation, seed-bearing plants, and trees

Day 4: Sun, moon, and stars

Day 5: Great creatures of the sea, every moving thing, including birds

Day 6: Livestock, creatures that move along the ground, wild animals, and man

Day 7: God blessed this day, made it holy, and called it day of rest

Taken from Genesis 1:3-29 and 2:1-3.

First we must understand that God does not do anything on the spur of the moment. He first plans what His intentions are and the reason for them. He will draw up a blue print so to speak. Designing everything from the tiniest flower to the greatest beast. There will also be a place for mankind in this blue print, as man is in the image of God there was no need to plan what he will look like. All other worlds ever created (Organized) were done in this manner by His will and by His pleasure. The process by which this world came to be is described in the Book of Genesis. Contrary to some of our learned men and women, man, beasts and all manner of living things did not evolve but were placed upon this earth as they were meant to be, each to his own kind and in their own season.

In the Babylonian creation story, known as the Enuma Elish, the god Marduk emerges as the central figure who triumphs over the primordial chaos represented by the goddess Tiamat. After a fierce battle, Marduk defeats Tiamat and creates the world from her body. He then establishes order among the gods and is hailed as the king of the divine assembly, symbolizing the victory of civilization over chaos.

Only one theory regards the origin of the earth, and it does not involve creation, only natural and known physical factors.

The planet, like all others, accumulated gradually through first electrostatic and then gravitational attraction, eventually building to a mass whereupon it could become spherical, and reached the point where its surface temperature had decreased to the point of allowing it to solidify.

We can not recommend using occult for clearly dishonest purposes, however you could learn in advance which horse will win the next big race and put your money on it.

In most surviving religions, the creator of all is seem as a spirit. Spirits do not have physical form, so it is not possible to see them.

Or, if the creator of all does not exist, as an increasing number of people are beginning to realise, then the creator of all does not look like anything, except in the imagination.

1) Humans are the pinnacle of Creation. That is why they were created last (Genesis ch.1).2) Humans are made in the Divine image (Gen. ch.1).

3) We possess a God-given soul (this is one of the meanings of Gen. 2:7).

4) We were given free-will and are responsible to God (otherwise, the warning in Gen.2:17 would be unnecessary).

Seeing God's wisdom

The Torah states that it was written in its entirety by one author, Moses (Deuteronomy 31:24), to whom it was dictated by God (Exodus 24:12), including earlier events.
The Torah has one creation-narrative, which takes the form of a summary (Genesis ch.1) followed by an in-depth recap (Rashi commentary, Genesis 2:8).
When we see a newspaper whose opening headline is paraphrased in the detailed story, we don't ascribe the repetition to different writers.

But this kind of literary device, which the Torah employs to enrich its text, has been used by Bible-critics in an attempt to reassign and divide up its authorship.

The Jewish sages, based on ancient tradition, identified many of the literary devices used by the Torah, which include:

- recapping earlier brief passages to elucidate,

- employing different names of God to signify His various attributes,

- using apparent changes or redundancies to allude to additional unstated details,

- speaking in the vernacular that was current during each era,

and many more. While Judaism has always seen the Torah as an intricate tapestry that nonetheless had one Divine source, some modern authors such as Wellhausen (the father of modern Biblical-criticism, 1844-1918) have suggested artificially attributing the narrative to several unknown authors, despite the Torah's explicit statement as to its provenance (Exodus 24:12, Deuteronomy 31:24). This need not concern believers, since his claims have been debunked one by one, as archaeology and other disciplines have demonstrated the integrity of the Torah. No fragments have ever been found that would support his Documentary Hypothesis, which remains nothing more than an arbitrary claim:

Doves were often used for sacrifice mostly in the Old testament.

Well, its really pretty much like science tells it. Conditions came together such that everything was created. We Buddhists are all about cause and effect. So the Big Bang theory pretty much matches all that we care about how it all started. Otherwise we typically don't care about how it started. The Buddha actually said that any speculation on how everything started was pretty worthless as to how to end suffering and bring happiness to everyone.

This year, 2010, is 2553 in Thailand. People counted the passing years a long time before 2553 years ago, but we don't use those counting systems anymore. People existed 600,000 years ago, too.

Islam's teachings on the origin of the universe are essentially those of Judaism and Christianity, and therefore face the same challenges. It is not possible to accept scientific knowledge about the origins of the world, while accepting the literal truth of the Quran and the Bible, although the Quran is arguably more flexible in this regard than the Bible. However, many devout Muslims have become recognised scientists, demonstrating that, ultimately, rational persons do adjust to the contradictions that may exist in religious teachings.

Scientists believe that the Earth and other planets in our solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago from a disk of dust and gas surrounding the young sun. This process, known as accretion, involved the gradual gathering of particles to form the planets.

The published opinions of Young-Earth Creationists focus mainly on terrestrial geological events, which they claim to have occurred in an impossibly short period. In the face of scientific evidence to the contrary, they claim that the physical evidence, even the half-lives of radioactive elements, were fundamentally upset by the supposed biblical Flood. As for extra-terrestrial events, most Young-Earth Creationists would not believe that these events really happened or claim that there is an, as yet undiscovered, explanation.

The angels of God which are spirit & not flesh.

Because religious writers have called Man thus.
One must remember that man was already Gods children long before He sent us to earth.We were His spirit children.The fact that he sent us to earth to subdue it, also to have dominion over all thing makes us pretty special I suppose and the fact we are in His image.
