Question for the folks who believe in a God.

It doesn't matter which God you believe in and the question isn't meant to be mocking in any way no matter which religion you follow.

Is there anything in your Holy Book which gives any clue as to what your God did before the planet Earth was formed?
Is there anywhere in a Holy scroll or text that says something like, "Yeah, before I made the planet Earth and all the trees and rabbits etc, I was a Twitcher but there were no birds to watch so I made some".
I'm asking because a search of the Bible shows no evidence of any such information and that, to me, says that the very notion of a God figure came about after the world was created which kind of knocks the idea that a God figure built the planet in the first place.

Any thoughts?
Cheers m'dears,

ive only read genesis & revelations, but ive never heard of anything trying to explain what god did before earth was made.

so id say NO

but id hazard a guess he was just floating about bored

[tommysize1]

who would of come up with the notion of god if only god existed at the time?
sound like your waiting for an alien to come down and say "hey! we got made by that god guy too!"

That is a ponderance indeed......who made god?

Gnostics believe god (or yahweh or jehovah) to have been created by some super god called sophia.

my rough understanding is those guys believe god is the bad guy and wants us all to be obedient *****s.
the adam & eve story is a good way of explaining it.
which is in genesis only need like chapters 2- 4?

go read it. lots of ways to take it.
it still baffles the hell out of me.
do you take it literally? if not, what does adam&eve represent? was the serpent actually the good guy?
ive asked a few christians this and they normally dont have much of a response.
except "BURN THE HERETIC!" lol

keep em coming.
gives me a reason to bother to try to understand the bible

Not meaning and disrespect to any religious folk but here is a question that I have never been able to get a sensible answer to. The usual answer I get is, " If you have Faith, you know"
The question is, "Which parts of the Bible are meant to be taken as absolute truths and which parts are meant to be dumbed down so that we can understand them."
For example, if you query the idea that God created 2 people, Adam and Eve and they had 3 sons. There is no mention of God making any more people and yet the boys went out and got wives. Where from? The general answer is that the Garden of Eden story isn't to be taken literally and that there were other communities in the area.
HELLO!!!! .... Who made THEM?
But you will only understand this if you have Faith .... or so they say.
Personally, I don't get it.

lol
the short answer is: who knows?
science's best guess tells us we evolved from primate like creatures.
so you have to take the adam & eve story figuratively.

just got to use the knowledge available to you in order to make your mind up.
like you say, most christians dont have an answer.
they're happy enough to just believe in god and just go along with what ever their preachers ideas are.

but then saying that im happy enough to just believe in god.

ooh! i did see a scientific explanation of those 7? plagues of egypt which was pretty good.
u know frogs, turn the nile red all of those.

*** i sound camp
ooh!

It would help people believe in God if some of the people who represent him on earth acted more God like.

Yes my book tells how personality can be placed in different areas or frequencies. Unfortunatly you cant comprehend its profound words of wisdom about existence, reality, yourself. Try kundalini or chakra meditation thats a great place to start
