[QUOTE="Aggie, post: 61358114, member: 23589"] I guess you could view it that way, since everything that exists is part of the universe's history, which was created by God. One area where this principle is a little more complex is for something that was created by a human, such as a painting or a piece of music. Things like that are part of the universe's history, so they can be considered part of God's creation in that sense, but they also are created by a human in a more direct sense. The human brains that produced them can have their origins traced back to physical laws for which God is responsible, though, and even a completely abstract painting is still using colors that God created as part of the universe. Humans can imitate God's creative process, but I don't think it's possible for us to create something completely independently of him. Incidentally, I'm not sure I'm a good person to ask in order to examine how all religions have certain themes in common. I was a Christian for nineteen years, so in many ways what I believe now is still influenced by Christian ideas. If you read the context of these verses, it's obvious they're talking about animals, not people. Here's the entire context: So, these verses obviously aren't referring to a person becoming a new creation when he or she is saved, unless animals (including sea creatures) can be saved. [/QUOTE]
