Question

Do you think creations are really new combinations of already existing materials?

Answer 1

Creation is nothing but giving a new name and form to the

new combination of existing material.

Answer 2

material things:

of course, i mean things dont come out of nothing...ex: to build a desk you need wood, wood comes from trees, trees come from seeds which were produced by other trees..

ideas:

when you come up with something new or a new idea, you have to be inspired by something which was thought of by someone else....

even humans come from existing things, i mean 2 humans male and female have to exist to create a new human.

Answer 3

Absolutely!

For example.

Every carbon atom in your body was belched out of a star that died somewhere in this universe billions of years ago...

Answer 4

well theres no other explanation, what else would it be?

everything is made up of the same thing, Energy.

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

are you speaking of material objects or ideas?

ideas are inspired by things and thoughts already in exsistance, otherwie there could be no thought.

as for material objects.

well such as household objects, yes, we all know they come from lesser materials formed together.

as for life, such as a human, then you have atoms and other lesser materials to make those up.

everything we have discovered in exsistance has been made up of other exsisting materials.

but what we don't know is where those of smallest exsistance (that we have found so far) come from, or what they are made of. so in the ultimate question of exsistance, well....nobody knows. ^_^

Answer 7

Good question!

Yes, even God recycles!

Answer 8

Good question.

Only few realizes that creations are simply cominations of already existing materials and those "many" people insist that creations are built with materials that came into existence.

In order to tackle this question properly you first have to define what "existence" is and what cannot be considered "existing".  

To say that existence suddenly popped into existence is just contradicting. (if you are familiar with physics even vacuum should be considered existence/something as virtual particles "consecutively" pops up) First law of thermodynamics seems to support your "hypothesis".  

Answer 9

Of course.

This is true of the material world without a doubt.  Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.  Only reconfigured. (Or Dispersed. i.e possible death of the universe when all energy and matter is spread too far out {big freeze})

This is also true of ideas.  Everything that makes us what we are is based off of things that made us what we were.

Answer 10

I think that it is possible, if you think about recycling, it makes a new can but it is combinations of other cans that were already made. So yes,I do think that is possible. Great question:]

Answer 11

even us created from earth.
