Hi Lexum,
You ask, "Where does life come from, if not from God?"
That is simple! "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1)
Then, we read:
Genesis 1:24-25, "Then God said, 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind;' and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good."
Genesis 1:26-27, "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.' So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Genesis 1:28-30, "Then God blessed them, and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.' And God said, 'See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;' and it was so.
Genesis 1:31, "Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day."
Yes, my Friend -- it was ALL created by God -- living plants, living animals, living fish and fowl, and living human beings. None of this came from lifeless simple cells floating in a swamp. It all came from the being of God.
And, yes, He did it all in SIX LUNAR DAYS of 24 hours each. Then He rested on the seventh day -- and, we are still in that seventh day rest. But, one day we will ALL go to our eternal home. One will be Paradise; the other Hell. The beauty of God's plan is that every single person gets to CHOOSE which eternal home he/she wants. Isn't that fantastic -- that we can choose to spend eternity in Paradise with God.
Of course, not choosing is choosing -- but, with the wrong results.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
