Questions I Would Ask God

God, why did you choose to make the heaven's and earth an all things within in such a highly sophisticated manner and over millions of years. Were extinct plants and animals to serve some purpose and why did they precede your making of man? You know God, some believe creation began not too long ago, like 6,000 years, and yet those scientists that you have endowed with great knowledge have developed carbon dating, I sure you know about it. At any rate God, it makes it pretty confusing.

Re: Questions I Would Ask God

I heard a quote the other day which I cannot attribute but I will use on that basis. "We are living a mystery. We are not here to solve the mystery."

It seems to me the creation story is for the time being quite clear. It began with a big bang and the evolutionary processes brought us to where we are and continue to influence the cosmos.

Any question as to "why" is simply beyond our ability to answer. We might take a guess or a million guesses but for sure we will not be able to answer at this point. Though some people would say "to worship God" but I do not believe that God is so egotistical as to need or want that.

Of course one's concept of God would influence their thinking on that.

Shalom

To me it is not confusing. God made this universe and a series of other universes out of Godself.
In order to create the universe God had to split Godself in half. Then God became the Good God and the Evil God. A single God became a twin God. Then the two halves of God joined at the big bang to create the series of universes.

Half of the remaining spiritual energy from God exists side by side with the other half of the spiritual energy. Zoroaster would call it the Good God and the Evil God. Christians would call it the Good God and the Devil. Thus we sit between two forces. Some of us will serve the Good God, some of us will serve the Devil force.

So each of us seeks a path. Some will go to the good force, some will go to the evil force. In death we enter a world of massless energy.

A long time in the future the two forces will rejoin and God will return to Godself.

It is no confusing. It is only that the Holy books were produced by man with limited understanding at the time. If they were produced today they would include the big bang and all other things.
