I voted for the first option, because it's what I believe (sort of)..

 

My belief is that God (of Abraham) created the universe. But I also believe he created it in a way that follows laws, such as physics. These laws are constant. He may very well have created it from a singularity, and used the physical laws he created to carry out the second option.

 

I don't believe Creation happened on a 24-hour day, and 7-day week schedule like the creation story of the Bible says. I think it could have if He wanted to, but instead He chose a way where humans can actually find His works in Science and witness His creation first hand.

Isn't it possible that the universe was created by a higher being but that being does not interact with his creation?

 

Sure. There are plenty of possibilities, most of which we aren't even aware of. But I tried my best to winnow it down to two basic possibilities. My intent is to show how implausible each seems without introducing my own bias towards God.

That's what I believe as well.

 

As for creation in six 24-hour days, I read an interesting perspective a while back. Once you believe in God, the actuality of whether He did it in six 24-hour days or 10 billion years is merely a curiosity that we don't have the answer to yet. :lol:

I am not sure what I believe as I can't see concrete proof of any versions that have been put out there so far.

 

I know that the human versions of God that have been presented are purely fictional in my opinion.

The Bible records a lot of interaction wt His creation - especially through the life of Jesus Christ. I believe He was the "First Cause" behind creation. He established the physical & moral laws by which the universe operates.
