The Creation of the World Some people would argue that someone must have created the world and that someone must be God. The Big Bang The world was created by a big explosion. There is no need for the idea of a God as creator of the world. Answered Prayers Some people believe that they have prayed to God and He has answered their prayers either by directly speaking to them or by giving them a sign some other way. Unanswered Prayers Many people pray to God and yet their prayers are left unanswered. The Problem of Evil There is so much evil and suffering in the world that there cannot be a God because if there was He would do something about it.
