You are conflating the start of life on earth with the the universe. Not the same thing.

The guy never said whether the Universe was created or not.
He only asked who told the OP that the Universe was created.
So I'll ask you again.
I don't know whether the Universe was created or not but
Who told you the Universe was created?

See the scientific evidence that the universe was created here. cool

This is according to Christianity that Yahweh created the world.
According to the Yoruba religion. Olodumare sent Orunmila and Obatala to create the world.
According to Pastafarians, the Flying Spaghetti created the world
According to Ancient Hinduism religion. Brahmna created the world.
According to Islam, Allah created the world.
Now my question is, who really created the world among all these gods? And what's the proof that such god did

Even the bible that you are basing your life on says it’s ground, or was Old Testament written in English?

"Eretz" consistently and soley refers to arable land (and not planet earth), eg, Gen 1:1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 2:1. Further, "eretz" is explicitly defined in Gen 1:10 as arable ground.

@ the picture you posted.
1. There are also several other religions, but there is one Muhammad, the messenger of God The last and the greatest

2. There are also several religions, but there is one Obatala, Who was not born, who never died, and who never had sins

3. There are also several religions , but there is one Ra. Who has no begining, no ending and no form

4. There are also several religions, but there is one spaghetti monster , who became drunk after 100 years of drinking and went on to create the world.

E.t.c

Where is the proof that your Jesus ever lived, to begin with. Where is the proof that he died, and where is the proof that he resurrected?

I followed this link as well and I'm still much disappointed.

You said the universe cannot create itself, if be? Then God could not have created himself.

You were not there when the so called God created the world. You are only quoting from some outdated fairy tales book written to amuse children.

Why should I believe you as opposed to my Buddhist friend who says the universe came to be by itself or as opposed to my Pastafarian friend who says that a flying Spaghetti Monster created the world because he was drunk after drinking for more than a hundred years

Since you don't know if the universe was created or not then you should accept whatever you heard about origin of the universe.
So God created the universe and He told me so.

@ the subscripted text, I should just accept whatever I heard about the origin of life? When it's not that I'm stupid, there are more than 7 theories, one of which is creation, and there are more than 14,000 creation stories, so which one should I accept?

That's why you need to do a bit follow up not just pick few words and conclude like lazy rats!

If you're an investigator and more than ten persons are laying claim that they married the same woman it's incompetence that will make you conclude the woman in question was never married to anyone.

Of course many spirit beings claimed they are Gods and people in ancient times worshiped all these Gods but does that stop a wise person from further research?

NO!

The real husband of a woman must prove who are the parents of this woman from whom he asked for her hands in marriage, talk about her relatives, her best food, color, likes and dislikes, her usual reaction if treated in some ways, her enemies, the children born in that marriage and what those children are doing in line with the plans (will) of their father the one claiming he is the rightful husband.

Now go back to all those religions and use this example to find out who the truth God is! wink

@the emboldened, I really don't wanna insult you.
And your analogy really didn't have anything to do with what we are talking about .
With my lil research, I discovered that , Buddhists and Hinduists make more sense. Islam tried a lil, but the worst of them all is Christianity, I swr, one needs a kind of brain emptiness to believe in the Christian God

Of course I don't know, one part says it was created.
Another says it came by itself.
Another says it has always been and will always be.
Another says It came by chance.
So please tell me, if anyone asked me if I knew how the universe came about, would it not be the only sensible thing to say that "I do not know"?

We are talking within the confines of creation, not about the teachings of each god.

That's not how to solve issues.

You're living in a house (earth) and there are many other mansions elsewhere (universe) then several people are laying claim on the house saying they're the landlord you can't conclude on mere presentations saying
"these makes more sense than that"

Since you also live in the same house at least you should care for your own welfare by asking for the prospect each claimer has before building the house, whoever is able to tell what his plans are before building the house and how he's been working towards such prospect is the real owner!

You want to argue over the story of creation asserting that the claims of some religions makes sense yet there is no follow up to back their stories, that's why i asked you:

"What good prospect exactly did the gods of those religions have for the planet they're claiming they created or know how it was formed?"

At least no sane person builds a house without prospect nah! smiley

That's what we are saying. Many people who think the are wise are not wise.
If I were living in a house, anyone who lays claim to the house must present irrefutable proofs. Such as the deeds of assignment and/or sale deed, sale agreement, NOC, possession letter, allotment letter, the land documents, receipt of raw materials used...e.t.c
So in such case, who ever is able to provide such proofs would make more sense.

I have no business with whatever the plan of the owner or the builder is. As long as we both are keeping our ends of the agreement.
Trying to pry into the owner's initial plan is a symptom of madness.

Just as you've said earlier there are many Gods laying claims that they built the earth or know how it was formed. My own God also did the same but he goes further to tell me that He created the earth for humans to live forever on it without setting standards among themselves rather He warned them never to think of setting standards for themselves but they should rely on Him to teach them how they can relate peaceful with their neighbours.
Today politics is the world's problem as many are forcing their opinions on others using weapons to intimidate their subjects this is exactly what my God forbids. So His own worshipers have formed one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers globally none of them is in support of politics and they are campaigning against politics globally telling their neighbours that neither racial disparities nor religion that's causing wars here and there but politics: the act of imposing what you feel is right or wrong on your fellow man using force! smiley

That's exactly why i said you need to ask for the good prospect those gods have for this planet and what they've been doing to achieve it.
Just as i've said my own God is preparing to exterminate all evildoers on this planet {Psalms 37:9-11} so that only peace loving people will stay forever on it {Proverbs 2:20-22} He promised to stop aging, sickness and death forever {Job 33:25; Isaiah 33:24; 25:8} but before then all inhabitants of this planet must know about this good prospect {Matthew 28:19-20} and today over 8.5 million people are already working towards renovating the earth as they're teaching themselves what my own God promised, they have solved all their disparities peacefully among themselves, divert their resources into production of food and information materials, erased the making, buying, selling and using of weapons against their fellowman and vowed never to raise weapons against anyone again! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3
