When did God become a thing?
While it only came to full expression in the last two centuries, its roots actually lie almost three millennia back. Those who are aware of its earlier origins generally trace it back to several ancient Greek thinkers in the sixth century BC.
How has the idea of God changed over time?
Our personal concept of God is ever-changing because we change and the world we live in changes. Changes in secular circumstances, religious power, and cultural diffusion changed how early peoples saw God. As people’s concept of God changed, old ideas were either incorporated into new religions or dropped completely.
What does the Bible say about evolution?
( Genesis 1:26, 27; 2:18-24; Matthew 19:4-6) The Bible says that before coming to earth, Jesus lived in heaven with God and was involved in helping God to bring “all things” into existence. ( John 1:3) Therefore, the idea that God used evolution to bring about different life-forms is incompatible with Bible teachings.
Is God ultimately responsible for the evolution of life?
One kind of life-form can evolve into a completely different kind of life-form, a concept that is sometimes referred to as macroevolution. God is somehow ultimately responsible for these processes.
What created God?
God is the Creator of the Universe ( Genesis 1:1 ). Through him and by him, all things are made ( Romans 11:36 ). He sustains every living thing. Every living thing is finite and contingent upon his existence. Because of his infinite nature, he is not reliant on anything for his existence. To answer the question posed above, nothing created God.
Does God’s creation create new life?
Neither does it contradict the fact that the different kinds of animals and plants created by God can vary as they breed or adapt to new environments. Although some view such adaptations as a form of evolution, no new kind of life is produced.
