Understanding and Accepting Creation

From age 10 until age 18 when I graduated from high school, I was forced (by my parents) to attend sunday school and church services EVERY WEEK.  I  am sure I was taken to church before the age of 10, it is just that I don't remember anything about those years.

My parents took me to a United Methodist Church which I suppose might be a little different than a Methodist Church, but I am not sure how other than in the name.

I remember all the most popular stories from The Bible as they were repeated over and over again by a variety of ministers each of whom had a slightly different interpretation as to their meaning and purpose.  I could not understand why there might be different interpretations to these stories as the basic concept never changed.

I remember asking one minister why Jesus was considered to be poor since those 3 wise men brought his very expensive gifts at the time of his birth.  The question was not answered.

I remember asking one minister that if Jesus did exactly what God asked him to do, then Jesus had given up the FREE WILL that God had given him, so what was the point of giving us free will.  The question was not answered.

I remember asking another minister if Jesus was an extraterrestrial because he told Pilot that his kingdom was not of this world (earth) so it must be somewhere in the universe.  The question was not answered.

There were other questions I asked but I don't remember them as I was always questioning.  My constant questioning was not to prove the minister and/or religion wrong and invalid but to strengthen my own understanding.

There is no doubt in my mind that our universe was created by someone or something, I just don't think it was the God that is mentioned in the Bible.  That God is a God derived from human understanding and interpretation.

The God that created the universe is an extraterrestrial with extremely advanced knowledge and skills.  The universe has a beginning and an end as do all things...  that logic seem unavoidable...  so the God that created the universe could have come into being at the END OF TIME while simultaneously created the BEGINNING OF TIME or the universe.

When that God came to earth to give us survival knowledge, the people of earth created the Biblical God of the Bible.

It is also possible that these advanced extraterrestrials tampered (altered) with our DNA so that we would advance quicker.  When one looks at the complexity of the human body, it just does not seem likely that our bodies simply evolved over time into this complex machine.  No matter how many years it may have taken to get here, this kind of  complexity had to be engineered into our DNA.
