If God created everything, how could God NOT have created EVERY thing?

Question

For example, some suggest that God did indeed create life, the universe, and everything.

However, some of those same persons suggest that humanity, and not God, created certain things, such as global thermonuclear war.

Is it not arrogant for human beings to take credit for things that God most likely created by Itself?

Answer 1

When you write a story, you always need a bad guy.

Answer 2

But then God would be responsible for thermonuclear war. We can't have the whole picture because then it just doesn't make sense...

Answer 3

i am in junior high and my family is confused as the same as you and i think god tells christians to love your enemeys (how ever you spell it)but you see and hear christians and cathloics all the time saying you dont believe in god so your going to h**l. that deffinatly isnt at all wat god is tellin you. also you are told as a kid that santa is real but he really isnt so how do you no that god is real? i right now do not believe in god. here is another reason if god can bring all these miricals like leting a blind guy see again then why are 2 year olds dying of aids and hiv? and dont tell me that thier parents did somthing that pissed god off and he is makeing the child suffer because that isnt fair and if god was as great as people make him out to be then there should be world pease.!!!! as you can see this is a very touchy subject to me and others! :) good luck with the desition

Answer 4

I gotta laugh at fundie who say things like:

"God is the principal or sole deity in religions and other belief systems that worship one deity.

God is most often conceived of as the creator and overseer of the universe.

Theologians have ascribed a variety of attributes to the many different conceptions of God.

The most common among these include omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, omnibenevolence (perfect goodness), divine simplicity, jealousy, supernatural, and eternal and necessary existence" ...

on the one hand but at the same time INSIST that god doesn't do evil.

The whole invisible-sky-critter scam is childish nonsense not too dissimilar to bogeymen under the bed; it was invented as a management tool to scare and or control peasants and small children.

Answer 5

Yep i know it's really inconsistent, like when good things happen they say its because of god but not when bad things happen, if ones true the other has to be and also they blame things on "satan" when "god" is supposedly all powerful. They seriously need to make their minds up!!!!

Answer 6

He created the elements and all around us near and far.  However man and his ambition lead to corrupting nature.

Answer 7

God gave us a perfect beautiful world,mankind has and is destroying that.

Answer 8

God created everything as you say.  He did not create all outcomes.

Answer 9

Great, but very tricky question, and almost impossible for me to answer. . .

With much reflection I've decided that although 'god' did in essence create everything; it merely invigorates everything, thus, it does not direct everything.  Direction depends on many conditions, all of which are subject to nature.  

Nature to me is the answer to your very thoughtful question.

And it is often arrogant for human beings to take credit for things, when it was nature that allowed it to be possible.

Answer 10

Everything that God created was perfect.  He did not bring sin into the world.  People did that.  As a result, the world is full of sin and problems such as the global thermonuclear war.  

Answer 11

god has created everything! just like you said!

but he gave us a chance to descover things and make things with ower own mind that he made too!

Answer 12

We are in his image! So that being said, everything we CREATE, is like him, now we have to learn how to control what we CREATE, or like the father he is, correction time!

I really do like your question of, how could it be, if it is to be! Everything that God created was not perfect, that is why there is purification in process! People just do not want to admit it, that is why they say, you are going to h**l? that is JUDGING! Since they say all these things that are detriMENTAL to understanding, that should tell you that they DO NOT KNOW THEMSELVES! The old testament says face it (evil), The ones that teach the new testament say flee from it (evil) chase it away! WHAT DID JESUS SAY! GET BEHIND ME! HERE I WILL GIVE YOU SUP!   Pull your spiritual heads out of your physical butts! HE TOOK CHARGE OVER HIM ! Now are you getting the message of what it means to be like little children!

Answer 13

God created everything that was good. The story of creation, everything was good. But now we're getting further and further away from good.

Answer 14

God ( ALLAH) created every thing and outcoms too , good and bad , evil, god created every thing but he gave you a brain to choose your path .

you can feel the cold water with your hand and also feel burning flame too.
