There are many questions that I am hoping I will get the answers to once I get to heaven. After all, I will have eternity to wait my turn and ask God my petty ponderings. But the one that has been plagueing my mind lately is this: since God existed in eternity past.....what existed before all that He recorded for us in Genesis 1? Are we the only creation He ever made that He loved so much to send Jesus to suffer our pathetic means of torture for? Are we humans the only ones He ever gave free will too? Well I can at least answer that last question, no, the angels obviously have free will because Lucifer and others CHOSE to rebel against their Creator while the rest CHOSE to remain faithful to HIM. Are we the first of human-reflection of God Himself-kind?
Are we the first ones to have a love letter/Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth book (BIBLE) from God? Would we have been made aware of the answers to these questions and SO much more had sin not entered our lives?
Your thoughts????

My thoughts ?
God does not exist.
Before Humans, there was nature and animals, and a great, wonderful harmony between these two that we destroyed.
And after us ?
Nature, if we won't of destroyed it all.
The world will go on by its own
Evolution is a beautiful concept, so much more than "God's creation"...
Thank you for your comment. Because you kept it clean and respectful I kept it included.
Though I have to ask, why is that anyone who wishes to post a disagreement always does so anonymously?
Anyway, to continue the conversation, you pose an interesting view. But what do you base your thoughts on? Because in order to claim that there is no omniscient being (God), wouldn't you yourself have to be omniscient? Seems to be self-defeating.
You were on the right track when you said before humans....there was wonderful harmony...that we destroyed. That is true. Things were perfect in the universe, on earth, and in the Garden of Eden, including the short time that the first 2 humans inhabited it. It was when Adam chose to break the 1 rule God gave, and ate of the forbidden fruit, that sin and it's horrific effects impacted all of creation. So you started off correct.
And I would have to agree with you that evolution is a beautiful concept and I dare say, a fact. But I respectfully reject it in the biological applications. Nothing about the human body shows evidence of evolution. We still have the same bodies we had for the last several thousand years. I only have to ask, if we are evolving, then why are we dealing with more diseases and "mutations" or "challenges" "malformations" today than ever before? I suggest that these are the effects of sin, changing perfection to imperfection.
And because of imperfection, we are not fit for a relationship with our perfect God. God knew this and He loved us so much that instead of just throwing us in hell or writing us off, so to speak....or write, He provided a perfect substitution and way for us to regain that perfect relationship with Him through His Son Jesus Christ and His documented death, burial, and resurrection. The most amazing part of this, is that it was the free will He created us with that got us into trouble. Thanks alot Adam!! Yet it's that same free will that we still have that we are able to choose to trust Jesus with our lives or not.
I am NOT PERFECT...as one can see by my writing ability :-) and I will never claim to be. However, I am forever grateful that I made the choice to trust in Christ Jesus. I hope and pray you and anyone that reads this will do the same if they haven't already.
