The Garden of Eden

I could answer the question “Who are you?” with a basic description of myself. I am sixteen, a student at North High School, sixty five inches tall with curly hair and blue eyes. I am a human being with a heart, a brain, and lungs. I am a daughter, a sister, a friend, and, according to Sophie’s World, a philosopher. My personality is really determined by who I am with; I act differently around my family than around my friends, although I am sure that many people do this. “Who I am” changes based on who is asking the question. My own beliefs tell me that I am one of God’s creations. I believe that my purpose on Earth is to serve God in the best way I know how, while also trying to make a difference here on Earth. Of course, it is not that easy, because everyone has flaws and makes mistakes, which is another innate part of who I am. As a human, I am able to make choices and decide what direction I want to go with my life, but some things I am not able to control, such as the weather, or other people’s decisions. As for the world’s beginnings, I follow the Christian belief that God created the world and everything in it. He must have created the universe too, including every part of the solar system that we have yet to figure out here on Earth. God must have been the one being that could ever produce something out of nothing, because He is omnipotent. He has always existed. The world is so complicated and the balance of everything is so delicate, that it seems to me that there is no other possible explanation than an almighty being that created everything. How could all the necessary elements of the world just happen to combine to form Earth as we know it? Including plants, animals, water, oxygen, and everything we need to survive. Humans are so complicated; life is so complicated, that there must be some sort of plan out there for us, some divine reason why we even exist at all. The world and every person in it have a purpose. The world is one of God’s creations, presumably his most complex.
