Folks, God gave us brains and a dollop of His creative character for a reason. Use what you can–anything that’s not directly prohibited in scripture–to reach people. Get creative. Try a different approach. Use a different translation. Discuss a movie. Don’t speak Christianese.

Jesus Himself exhibited great creativity in His methods to reach, teach and heal people. Should we do any less?

Did God design the particle and all the quarks or was it an accident?
Nothing is by accident. A true God is omnipotent (all powerful) and omniscient (all knowing). Nothing was created, that was created, except that which was created through God speaking it into existance.

Did God create rest of the universe before he created Earth (which we have considerable evidence that the universe is older than earth) and if he did, does that make us just another planet around another star to him?
Yes, the rest of the universe was created before the Earth.
When you ask the second part, are you asking if there is a special reason for the Earth or is it just a useless exercise to Him?
To answer those questions, 1., there is a special reason for the Earth, and that is to bring Him glory. On the Earth, He created mankind (men & women) in His image. He gave us a free choice to accept or reject Him. We can be our own “little gods”, answerable only to ourselves, violating the first and great command of the ten commandments, or we can submit and yield ourselves to Him and accept Him as God.
On the 2nd question, is the earth just a useless exercise, no, for God does not create without purpose. Everything has a purpose, even if we can not see it, analyze it, detect it, or know of its existance. Why do we have mosquitos? I don’t know. But I know they’re there. Maybe God wants us to discover how to use them to innoculate mass quantities of people?

If God just makes stuff by making it, why can we see stars being made?
Isn’t that kind of like saying, “because I can see it happen, therefore God couldn’t do it.”
Perhaps you think Christians believe that all things were created at one time, and nothing is being created now? Well, we actually believe that God is continuing to create. That’s why we can see stars forming and dieing. That’s why we can witness the growth of a baby in the womb. What is so different from witnessing one hidden event, from witnessing another hidden event?

We can also see stars being destroyed, and ours is slowly detiriorating. If God knows everything, then he must know we’re going to die. Does that mean he has planned our end?
Yes, He has planned our end. He has told us in the Bible that not only is it appointed once unto man to die, but that this Earth will be destroyed and recreated.
Because He has planned our end, it is for a reason. If you choose to accept His way to salvation, you choose to escape the wrath of those who reject Him. If you want to try it on your own, I’d have to ask why.

I know this has nothing to do with your blog but I’m really confused and when I try to ask my creationist friends they say its too confusing.
Please remember, your friends are probably around your age. You might want to ask those Creationist scientists, if you are honestly interested in hearing answers to your questions. Why go to those you know don’t have the ability to answer complex questions? If you are intellectually honest, and I am sure you are, try these resources:

As a Christian I see many truths in the Quran. I do believe it is best to begin on a point of agreement if we are to persuade them of the bible’s truth.
