The God-idea and creation
« on: December 29, 2013, 05:45:36 PM »
As each religion came into existence and developed around the God-idea,religion developed its own particular explanation of creation.So the God-idea became associated with various myths.People used the God-idea as a vehicle for their explanations of the existence of man and the nature of the universe.
Even Today,man still retains his primitive interpretations of creation.In the light of the recent,scientific thinking,
the theological definition of god is vague and hence have no place in the contemporary creations theories `or myths.Buddhists believe that man is here today because of his own action.He neither punished or rewarded by anyone but himself according to his own good and bad actions.
However, there are no Buddha -words to support the belief that the world was created by anybody.The scientific discovery of gradual development of the world- system conforms with the Buddha's teachings.

The creation of this world was placed under the responsibility of a special being called the God. The so called logic works in this way although it doesn't make sense to me. Since human can exert some kind of control on the environment therefore there exist a special being which could exert all kind of control on all environments, righ? However it is false because it is such the case why are there sufferings still happening among us if God is so mighty? Control means we can have our own happiness. In other words even the kind of control human beings have can be considered none. An illusion.
