Oct 9 2012: Maybe i should have chosen my wording better, I was only meaning to give my opinion and felt as the question related to god and if he exists then I would use what little I know of a few religions which imply he created us and that we are similar to him in that there are some who claim to have communicated with him, which in part has been through the use of words.
My main reason for replying was because if god does exist I can think of several other questions I would ask before I would get round to asking why he creatd the universe, and that would be based on my assumption of him.
Unless someone comes on here with clear proof that god does exist then I feel the whole thread will be based upon speculation. I think that is why the question leads with "does god exist, if yes"

I found this site only a short while ago and while and think it is amazing. I am not as clever as most of the people on here but i really enjoy learning new things (I had to google "anthropomorphic projection so I apoligise if I used it wrong) I did not mean to offend or provide a concise answer, I just found a thread that I thought only required my view point rather than extensive knowledge so enjoyed the chance to contribute in some way.
Oct 9 2012: If a zombie apocalypse were to happen i would head straight for the nearest prison, these places are built for such an event, you can control movement you have access to an arsenal, there is emergency power generators, medical facilities, food. The chances are the wardens will have the same idea and you will notice their families heading for the same place so you just be sure to befriend one as you get near. you would also have access to some of the meanest people around, just incase you need cannon fodder.
I have far too much time alone with my mind
Oct 8 2012: "the real question was ,does god exist ,if yes then why he created the universe ,was he bored ?"
This is a question that i feel we give too much thought to at times. If we assume that God does exist why would we question why he made the universe.
Common assumptions about God are that he has reached a higher existence than us, to that effect it answers the question for us, in our everyday lives the mojority of us set out to achieve a greater understanding of a topic or master a new topic. even during infancy we have a natural desire to create and make things. Is it not a fair assumption that it would have been a "what will happen if i do this?" whim that created us.
Oct 8 2012: I think this answer will have merit only to those who are initially comfortable with who they are and being alone with that person.
A person who's distractions come from within (Depression, ADHD etc.) would only become more concerned with the ramifications of each decision to be made and it's infinate outcomes. This would then cause them increasing doubt in their ability to make any decisions. I have attempted this method and have found no solice in the approach, if anything it raised more questions the longer i attempted it.

A comment on Conversation: Zombie Apocalypse? What would you do, and how would you survive, and is it possible for a zombie apocalypse to occur?
