The "Universal Question": How Did we Get Here? (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

One day I asked how I got here, then I asked who created mankind. When I was told God created mankind, I asked, “How did God get here?” Years later, I was asked the same question. I said that in the beginning, God created Adam and Eve. When asked who created God, I said, “The Bible says he always exists. Creation is the evidence that God exists.” For amusement, man explores the natural world to understand why things exist. Studying nature is the method of learning how he got here. Many cultures have developed creation theories and myths, giving birth to various beliefs that explain the origin of life with the same essential elements. The alternative to religion is evolution and the ancient astronaut theory. Evolution is the idea that we exist without a creator, mutating from primates to an advanced species. The ancient astronaut theory says that we are a crossbreed between alien DNA and primates. The gods of the old creation myths were aliens. Since we are here, should what we believe about our origins matter? If we believe in aliens, it matters because it means that we are not alone in the universe. Perhaps alien technology will help us solve our world problems. Evolution would only matter if we could advance to a stage in which we can alter the natural selection process, expand life, or prevent ourselves from extinction. Other than that, what are the benefits of evolution? If we believe in God, it matters because we believe there is life after death. Religion is the eternal hope for our existence. The heavens declare the work of God without words. The heavens, the earth, and the animals reveal the wisdom and knowledge of God.
