I believe in God. I also think that almost everyone on earth believes in Him, except someone that believes in the Big Bang. I am the person that loves to think about religion, mainly the Christian one. Since I was a child (when I was seven or eight) I used to read the Bible. I also remember going to church and asking the priest “If God knew that Adam and Eve were going to disobey why did He let them do it?” The priest said to me: “They were being tested to see if they were obedient!” As we know they did not pass the “test” and were evicted from Eden and here we are!
And ever since I was a child, one of the things I have had the most trouble understanding is: which came first, God, or the Universe?
Reading in Genesis, we are told that God created every thing. The problem is, I believe that the universe was there before God existed. Why? Because when God appeared in any place, that place was already there, including the whole universe and the infinite.
And then, God saw the earth and it was chaos. So He separated the waters from the land and named day when the sun gave the light. He also called night when the earth rotated and met the moon. It is really mind-blowing the idea of Him creating out of nothing all the animals, fruits and vegetation, insects, fish, and thousands more. But when He created Adam and Eve He used dirt! It is hard for me to comprehend that the inside of both of them was made of dirt!
Well, who I am to question these things! A chaplain on one occasion said to me: “When something that God made or how is God do not try to make sense of it. Just have faith and believe!”
God’s thoughts are not our thoughts. Who are we to question? Were you there when the mountains were formed?
