Welcome to our page (46), Religion about man
creation
The Bible says that God created everything in six days and the seventh day he had a rest. God also created man from plain dirt, which is a hard thing to believe, therefore God's creation is being discussed in this article.
Religious
views about the creation of man
May God guide and help me to say the right
things in this religious article?
Dear readers, here we would like to point out
again that these religious writings are also a study of religions and how
religions serve humanity; at this stage we are writing these articles and it
may seem as if we are having just frugal talks with our religious friends, but
in fact these religious talks are aimed at finding some real religious answers,
as we have tried in our previous hubs.
As we have said in
our previous articles, there are reasons to believe that all religions could be
man-made, but we have stopped short of saying that they are man-made, in
other words they are an invention that mankind made a long time ago, but we did
not say that because we cannot prove it, therefore in this hub we want to
collect more religious information and discussions that covers this aspect of
life, and also in this hub we are particularly after information or discussion
about the creation of mankind, since our friends Gino and Peter have expressed
their doubts about God being able to create man from plain dirt, so somehow
this creates another religious doubt, therefore now we would like to learn a
bit more and then talk a bit more about this religious belief.
Here we have to say
that I start feeling that my religious friends have had enough about talking
religions and they wish that we would change subject, so I need to try to avoid
forcing religious talks on them from now on. So, since I have talked to my
friend Mark about these religious matters, in our last article I have not
talked religion to them anymore; but I still want to write about these
religious issues, and I need to somehow continue to talk religion to our
religious friends, just to see what they think about this or that religious
aspect.
So, I believe that
from now on it is not going to be easy, because it has become a boring subject
for them, since I keep talking to them about religions all the time, so now, I
have to wait for the opportunity to talk about religions, in order to have
their views about how they feel about this or that religious issue, I could
also collect articles from the media to give me an idea what to say, but that
is not as good as when I am talking to my friends, because when I am talking to
my friends, at least I believe that what I write about my friends speech or
discussions is brand new and it will be harder for Hub pages to find my hub
having duplicate content, which sometimes is so frustrating and you don’t know
where it comes from since you feel that you have written that article for the
first time.
----------------------------------------
About hub pages’ creation of man
We would have liked
to continue to write about the creation of man only, and we did, only to be
told that our hub had duplicate content, so I have been forced to add this
other article just to explain what is happening here.
About Hub pages’
duplicate content
Whoever has written
hubs in Hub pages knows that soon or later may find that some of their hubs
have been marked as having duplicate content. I believe that nothing in the
writing world is really brand new, because first we have to learn from
somewhere else, this is usually several articles that we read, then we try to
see which things we agree with, and the rest we will try to forget about it,
once we have made up our mind what is right and what is not right, we write it
down our own way mixing the subject we have learned, therefore anything that we
write have got to have some duplicate content in it, it cannot be avoided.
In my case of
writing religious articles is even worse, because, you see religious
discussions tent to say the same things again and again, it is only natural
that they do this. To understand what I mean here one needs to follow just any
religion. Now if you have gone to mass at the Roman Catholic Church, I am sure
that you have noted that the mass is very much the same every time, even the
sermons have their yearly cycle, so religion is a repetitive subject where it
is hard to avoid repetitions, I hope you see what I mean when I speak of
duplicate content.
Anyhow this does
not mean that religious hubs would be allowed to have duplicate content, I only
want to point it out how hard it is to avoid it. I have also told my friends
what happens in Hub pages about duplicate content and all they came up with
was; you have to try harder to avoid that and perhaps what you can do is this,
you can quote what we say, so that even if we are saying the same things we are
saying it and it is not you saying it. This is what my friends have also
suggested, but I wonder if it would work; but let us go back to our religious
talks about man creation.
--------------------------------------------
Some religious talks
These are some
religious talks about man creation
As it happened, the
other day Mark, Gino and Peter were having this conversation in my presence and
Mark was asking Gino;
Mark was saying to
Gino;
Frank has told me
that you (Gino) believe and therefore said to Frank that God could not have
made man from dirt because that would even be hard for God to do; now, what you
have said makes me wonder whether you could tell us something more about the
way that you see the creation of man, and perhaps some of the other created
things that happen in the Bible.
Gino;
No, Mark I don’t
have much to say about the Bible creation, except that if you think about it
there are a lot of things that don’t make sense the way they have been written
in the Bible, because if we use our imagination and our logic reasoning they
seem to be impossible to achieve even for a real God, provided there is a real
God. Therefore, that is one of the reasons that I believe the Jews made up
their own God so powerful that could make living people from plain dirt,
perhaps also animals and other living things were made that same way? Now, here
I have to admit that the Bible does not say exactly what I am trying to say
here, but you know what I intend to say, the Jews invented their own powerful
God, their own ways and for their own needs and they did it in such a way that
this God was more powerful of any other God, since their God could even make
man from plain dirt. I hope you see what I mean?
Mark;
Of course I see
what you are saying Gino! But what you are saying here opens a new way of
thinking, if we are willing to follow your interpretation of the Bible. You see
if we admit that man was not created by God from dirt, then also other
creations are not true or they are only partly true, therefore we may have to
look into it and discuss it many times before we can reach a conclusion, it also opens the whole Bible to discussions, as
the Bible may not be exactly the word of God, or even inspired by God, just as
Frank here said in one of his hubs; Religions are man-made, perhaps we have to
agree with Frank description of religions, don’t you agree?
Gino;
Of course I agree
with Frank’s descriptions, since I believe that more or less I am trying to say
the same thing.
Here Peter comes in
saying;
Look I and Gino
somehow agree that man cannot be made from plain dirt even if God tries to make
him thus; the whole thing seems just too great to be true as our own human
understanding tells us. Now, as human if we take away that God is omnipotent
and therefore can do anything, which in realty might not be as omnipotent as
even God may have to follow the physical laws that exist in the universe; then
the possibilities of God making man from dirt is almost nil and therefore there
has got to be another way. You see that is the reason why we said what we have
said in the first place.
Mark;
I understand what
you two are saying, for a while I was worried that you two had become atheists,
just as our friend John was saying the other day, when he heard what you have
said. Perhaps as your beliefs stand, you may be agnostic rather than atheists.
Frank (me):
What I have heard
from your religious talks today may help me to write a bit more about how some
people see religions nowadays; it also opens the way for more religious
discussions, So one of these days I am going to ask you to have a meeting and
have another religious discussion, then, apart enjoying the good times that we
have when we are together, I will be able to learn something else about your
religious views.
Anyhow now let us
enjoy ourselves the normal way I said and let’s forget about religions for a
while; you see I had to say this, because I was not going to make my friends
hate me for talking about religions all the time, because if I do they are
going to say that I am a religious freak.
Now that I have
learned that I cannot ask my friends to talk religious issues all the time, I
have to find my own way how to collect other information about the religious
subject that I am going to talk about, so I am going to read more religious
books and search for religious articles on the Internet and then write my own
articles, so I will be taking some views from several articles, and then write
a religious article my own way, just the way I see they need to be written in
my hubs.
Therefore, I have
made up my mind that I had to find my own way how to research other religious
articles, since I could not rely on my friends too much for writing my
articles, so there will be more research about creation and the creation of
mankind that I am going to write later on, perhaps when we start writing our
third part of our religious writing in Reconciliation of the universe. But
because we would like to look at the Bible more closely, in our next hub we are
going to write, Exodus and the Mosaic Laws. See you there.
May God bless us
all?
