I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF GOD

[yayati]

Are any of you prepared to answer???...hold on I shall write it up, its rather weird a jumble of related questions really...

[Amar-Sonar-Bangla]

When you say 'God' do you mean Allah specifically yat?

'nywayz I personally find the concept of an all powerful entity (operating from outside our plane of existance) to be more plausable than the 'Big Bang' theory.

Some foolish men declare that the Creator made the world.
The doctrine that the world is created is ill-advised, and should be rejected.

If God created the world, where was he before creation?
If you say he was transcendent then, and needed no support, where is he now?

No single being had the skill to make this world – for how can an immaterial God create that which is materal?

How could God have made the world without any raw material? If you say he had made this first, and then the world, you are faced with an endless regression.

If you declare that this raw material arose naturally you will fall into another fallacy, for the whole Universe might thus have been its own creator, and have arisen equally naturally.

If God created the world by an act of his own will, without any raw material, then it is just his will and nothing else – and who will believe this silly stuff?

If he is ever perfect and complete, how could the will to create have arisen in him? If, on the other hand, he is not perfect, he could no more create the Universe than a potter could.

If he is formless, actionless, and all-embracing, how could he have created the world? Such a soul, devoid of all modality, would have no desire to create anything.

If he is perfect, he does not strive for the three aims of man. So what advantage would be gain by creating the universe?

If you say he created to no purpose, because it was his nature to do so, then God is pointless. If he created in some kind of sport, it was the sport of a foolish child, leading to trouble.

If out of love for living things and need of them he made the world, why did he not make creation wholly blissful, free from misfortune?

If he were transcendent he would not create, for he would be free; Nor if involved in transmigration, for then he would not be the almighty.

Thus the doctrine that the world was created by God makes no sense at all.

And God commits great sin in slaying the children whom he himself created. If you say he slays only to destroy evil beings, why did he create such beings in the first place?

Good men should combat the believer in divine creation, maddened by an evil doctrine.

Know that the world is uncreated, as time itself is, without beginning and end, and is based on the principles, life and the rest.

Uncreated and indestructible, it endures under the compulsion of its own nature, divided into three sections – hell, earth, and heaven.
