According to various religious traditions, there are different beliefs about whether God still creates:
Christianity:
- Genesis 1-2: Describes God creating the heavens, earth, and everything in them.
- Revelation 21-22: Envisions a future new creation where God dwells with humanity.
- Some Christians believe that God's creative work continues through the ongoing processes of nature and human creativity.
Islam:
- Quran 39:62: "... And He is the Creator of all things, and He is the Knower of all things."
- Quran 14:19: "... He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth and of all that is between them in six days."
- Islamic scholars generally hold that God's creation is complete and that He is not actively creating new things in the present.
Judaism:
- Genesis 1-2: Similar to Christianity, describes God's initial act of creation.
- Some Jewish thinkers believe that God's creative involvement continues through ongoing processes like the study of Torah and the fulfilment of commandments.
Hinduism:
- Rig Veda: Describes Brahma, the creator god, as the source of all existence.
- Hinduism generally believes that creation is an ongoing cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, with God as the ultimate source of this cycle.
Other Beliefs:
- Deism: God created the universe and set it in motion but is not actively involved in ongoing creation.
- Atheism: There is no evidence or reason to believe in a creator god who actively creates.
- Pantheism: God is immanent in all of creation, and there is no distinction between Creator and creation.
