Introduction

In the beginning, there was.... THE CREATED!! In Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” We are among those who are created, along with you and the entire world! We are all the children of God.
As the group “The Created”, our goal is spread the love of God not only through video presentations but also to everyone we come in contact with. We are here to praise God for his amazing creation and we want to share that mutual feeling of praise with the world!
During our senior year at Glendale Adventist Academy, we are learning about Ancient Polytheistic Literature and how it compares to the Bible. The ancient literature we are studying includes but most likely is not limited to the Enuma Elish and other related literature. 
In Ancient Polytheistic Literature, there was no single, All-Powerful God. There were many, many gods and in contrast to the Bible, gods were actually created. We believe that in our day and age, people create their own “Gods” or treat certain things like “Gods”. For example, people in our society view money, powerful, fame, and pleasure as gods in their lives. 
Our blog will show how these materialistic “Gods” don’t actually lead to true or sustainable happiness; in fact, they almost inhibit happy. In the Bible, Jesus said to the rich young ruler who had asked what he had to do to gain eternal life, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” The rich young ruler had made money his “God”. Our blog’s goal is to show how man-made gods can’t compare or deliver the true happiness that the one true God can.
