Why Do People who Believe in End-Times Conflict NOT BELIEVE Creation-Conflict?

i.e. they think that the end will come with G*d raining down hellfire on the unrepentant sinners for their second death (after some sort of conflict between humanity and Satan-&-the-Demons (perfect name for a band BTW)), but they think it all started with G*d just sayin` "Ready? Okay!" and making a little clay-man and blowing on it (sorta like the Family Guy representation of the Creationists' story ... with Jeanie from I Dream of Jeanie blinking everything into existence to the tune of the TV-show's jazzy theme).
Why not believe we'll just hang-out in paradise forever? or believe that Adam was our family's last survivor in a war against everyone who ever saw him before Eve?

What do you think will happen at the end of the ages? Are you thinking there will be no judgment or that there shouldn’t be a judgment? What is the conflict you’re having with end times and creation?
If you should respond, please speak in plain English.

There are three parts to you. You are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body. Your spirit is eternal. Your soul is your mind, thoughts and will, and your body is where it is housed.

Wrong. 
There are TWO parts, the spirit and a body. Together they MAKE the soul. 'Your mind, thoughts & will' are shapes your brain takes---part of the body, folded by the spirit.

mythociate: I agree with your thoughts on what happens when we die. We need both the body and breath to be a living soul or have a soul.

Wonderful, colorful description...You made me laugh; thank you!
To answer the question; humans seem to like the horror of the "End Time" stories so much that you can never sway them from its unreality. You can always get folks to read the tablets at the checkout counter because they are full of disgusting stuff. If they were full of stories about good stuff that happened, real or fictional, they would not sell or even be read surreptitiously.
I do not believe the creation story is literal...I do not believe that just 2 people started the human race...It is a story written for and by a simple mostly illiterate people in a way they could grasp an idea.
I also do not believe the christian and now moslem end time story. The christian testaments apocalypse is just a rehash of the Book of Daniel. Which by the way was NOT an end time prediction.

Daniel was a prophecy of what could happen to the Israelites. Not all prophesies are predictions of what has to happen, rather of what might happen if certain things are not done properly.
As far as the koranderthals go...they have taken much of the christian testament and twisted it to fulfill their desires. Their version of end times is the destruction of most of the people on earth, mostly christians and Jews. When the "Messiah" comes, it will actually be with Mohammed as the messiah and the christ figure as his best buddy. To moslems the christ figure is a prophet of lesser merit than mohammed. The christ figure will tell all the christians to convert to islam etc.

Was the Daniel-prophecy more an 'end-times of a kingdom'?
And is the Moslem end-time story much different from the Christian one?

Adoniah: I believe we will have a Christ impersonator who will tell us about changes that have taken place like not having to follow the 10 commandments, especially the 4th. I have never heard that he would say to be a Muslim because he is suppose to tell us to keep Sunday and Muslims keep Friday.

Well its the truth. There is really just two places where to go to after this life. Either heaven or hell. We have the liberty to choose where we would spend eternity. They keep on telling about it before its too late. :)

I don't exactly know the main reason why they believe in this and not that, may be they have used up most of their brain cells and left with nothing inside their pot size head, or it could be because their teacher in the house of worship doesn't explain clearly enough to make them understand. Nothing personal, just my two cents for your reading pleasure.

Thank you.
You're right. I think somehow they take G*d's "My reason is above your reason," to mean something more like 'I (G*d) am the explanation for all the stuff that happened before you got here, but you totally control how everything goes from now on.'
And humans can't "let go and Let G*d Put It Away"; EVERYTHING that they do not possess 'has to be destroyed'

As you know, many time they can not believe in this but can only in that is because their preacher or leader in their house of worship hasn't gave them the permission to do so, so it is inexcusable to believe base on their own personal understanding of the teaching of God's word except through the interpretation of the teacher.

Or "if`n they heard some preacher-man say it"

That is a good thought. Maybe that is why many people don't believe in any kind of end time other than the globe will just wear itself out and die.
