mythical beings can't do anything, because they are made up in people's minds....i learned that in elementary school, as i thought everyone did.

When they find out the Creator is also a bangin' Scientist, it's gonna seriously blow some minds.
Fractal natures, golden ratios throughout.
Crafted with care and purpose.
All falling into place.
We only know of Creation a fraction, but if we are made in his image, we have the potential to understand His Method.
Not to replace Him, but to become closer to Him.
Assuming of course, we are willing to admit our Childlike Ignorance and not get all haughty about it.
As we grow, more is revealed.
As we seek to know the Creator, we look to His Creation.
We embrace the Mysteries with wonder and awe.
Science has shown us congruent wonders.
I find Nihilism tedious.
Thank you for a wonderful glimpse into the Heavens once more.
Science has shown us congruent wonders.

There is truth in Myth; someone planted those 'mythical idea forms' to subvert the human.

Nothing can come out of nothing
So, where did god come from?
Serious question!!
EVERYTHING HAD A BEGINING!!

God did it! It's exactly what the Bible stated.
[Gen 1:1 ESV] "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."
Even though many in the scientific field are atheist, they can't deny the evidence that the universe and the earth had a "beginning".
They estimate according to evidence the universe to be around 14 billion years old and the earth to be around 4 billion years old.
They even confirm that a singularity in space time continuum of immense force had "exploded" and created the material universe.
To quote the late Carl Sagan, he says in his book COSMOS
At the beginning of this universe, there were no galaxies, stars or planets, no life or civilizations.”
Then added that a state of change between matter and energy had occurred and described it as
...the most awesome transformation of matter and energy that we have been privileged to glimpse.
We now call this state of change as the "big bang" theory.
Of course, since they don't believe in the existence of God, thus, they have to come up with some kind of explanation to explain away the obvious.
The obvious fact that God did it! The Creator through Jesus Christ created the "heavens and the earth".
[Col 1:16 ESV] "For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through him and for him."
Thus, God is not the "god of the gaps" as some ignorantly refer to Him. No but He is the God of the WHOLE show. There was never a gap. From beginning to end He was and will always be there.
But what about those who say the Universe created itself and that it came from nothing? That there was no creator or God who created it? What about them?
All things considered, they all boil down to this - post modern chatter - static noise.
Really.
For where's the logic in saying, let alone believing that an absolute nothing can create something?
It can't be done. Not on this universe nor any other so called multi-verse.
Nothing can come out of nothing but something can produce something.
An always existing something, better yet an Always Existing Someone - God can produce something.
An ultimate source of Energy transforming it into the material universe.
Yes. God Did It and the rest is just post modern chatter.

Why did the creator create all the other planets in our and other solar systems?
Like they say, we're utilizing a small portion of our brain.

Scientists agree that there was a big bang but scientists DO NOT agree on whether the big bang was the beginning of the universe.
Something scientists DO agree on universally though is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, meaning it had no beginning.
The universe and everything in it is energy on a very fundamental level, everything arises from energy, mass included. What does that say about the universe? That it cannot be created or destroyed and had no beginning just like the energy that makes up the universe.
Some scientists even speculate that the universe is eternal in nature.
No biblical God needed, only energy. But maybe the biblical God is a representation of this universal energy that permeates everyone and everything? I think so.
