God created man?? That's a myth! Really. Imagine this yeah...God, with his almighty power, decided to create a species of intelligent beings, put them on earth, then create the devil to oppose him. In addition to that, he allows these beings on earth to do whatever they please, abusing each other, killing each other etc. And all the time he watches??
What does that make god....a voyeur? Sadist?
And these aliens once interacted with humans in the past and even procreated with humans creating a race of giants that caused a lot of grief, when the alien bosses decided to unleash a catastrophe to cleanse the earth (the great flood). There are many more stories about them.

... That said, I feel the real questions that need to be answered are the nature and creation of consciousness, intellect and emotions. Matter can be explained away as the specific combination of atoms and sub-atomic particles. But how do we account for that 'spark of life' within us? Who gave us our intellect and what is an 'emotion'? What is this amazing alliance between the soul and the mind?
Maybe God just rolled the dice and our existence is an outcome of that primordial action. He willed an all-pervading consciousness into existence... a consciousness that is an elaborate panorama of possibilities, both physical and spiritual. We may have been created by a superior alien race. But our existence is seemingly of no importance from the infinite universe's standpoint. Then why have we been put on this earth..for what purpose?
I have no answers to these questions. I believe there is a power transcending everything in this material universe. That power is the reason we are here.

The Almighty God gave us the bible so we would know about Him and why some things are the way they are. But ignorant folk, who either cannot read, or chose to remain ignorant of the contents of the bible, make ignorant statements about the God of the bible...hoping to raise their prestige with themselves by insulting Christians...but only come off as fools to those they intend to insult because of their ignorance

The other civilizations may not have a bible to prove that is true, but they have their own evidences of their roots and acient beginings.

Pineapple....I think you're missing the point here....if god is omnipotent and so powerful, why would he need to create his 'children' in the first place? Why? To serve him? Pray to him? Believe in him? Fight the devil? (which he created as well....regardless of what the religious people say....if god created everything, he created the devil as well!!) What's the purpose of this all? For a little bit of fun maybe? Like a schoolyard bully smiting ants with his magnifying glass???

You used a derivative of the word 'ignorant' four times in one sentence to reference the "fools" that insult you by not sharing your vivid imagination. Oh the irony.
It's supreme arrogance on anyone's part to say their culture is Truth and all others ignorant, but some people are just supremely arrogant.

And that is EXACTLY the way darwinists are. Look at the opening post in this thread for proof.
Thank you for making my point for me. Read the opening post again and you will see all of that.

There's no such thing as "Darwinists"
