What is God's purpose in creating the universe and all creatures?

If you believe in God, then the pupose of His having created you is to show you a way to get back to Him. In order to give some exercise to your kids have you not played games with them like telling them, "Look, you go and touch the tree you see there and come back to me, and when they came back gleeefully you might have rewarded them or said some kind words. What would have satisfied you would have been that they have built their health, they have learnt to take trouble to get a reward. What was their interest? They wanted to please their parent and show off to them how good they are. But the secret of their glee was they are "returning" to their father! And that after making a glorious performance!" It is the same with God. He has given you the playing field- your plane of existence called the Earth, and the greatest excitement is in getting back to Him!

How I wish I know so I can answer you. But if I will ever know the answer to this, I will no longer be the human but the creator. At first, I would like to answer your question with another question. Why do you think we love to have a child? What's our purpose of pro-creating them? Your answers might be as good as all the other parents in the world, but then again, though man is created in the image an in the likeness of God, human is still human and God is God. I am glad though that there are questions such as this that remains unanswered throughout the years. I guess, we will never know the answer while we are still here. These questions make us realize our limitations. To some, these draw them closer to their Creator. I wish to know all the answers too, and for this reason, I will keep on asking God to keep me on his arms.

^_^ Mabuhay ka!.... stevelvis!.... I think that is our real purpose in life and that's our life time struggle to see, quest and searching for answers of why we are existing and what is our real purposes and our real missions and our real values of our life. Know first the truth of Lord God's wisdom and His righteousness, and then we can find the truth of all the knowledge we want to have. ^_^ God Bless as all!.... Peace!.... Salamat!.... and Enjoy!.... myLot!....

I do not think there is such a thing as god.
