Default What does Jainism say about creation?

Not Janism.... silly. Jainism.
The Reverend Soleil: Lil... that is probably not it. The name was named after any man .... Lil
i mean it was not named after any man.
That was not me who gave thumbs down. I don't have enough points to do that.

Here's what it says...:

The man they call Jayne
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne

Now Jayne saw the Mudders' backs breaking
He saw the Mudders lament
And he saw the magistrate taking
Every dollar and leaving five cents
So he said, "You can't do that to my people"
He said "You can't crush 'em under your heel"
Jayne strapped on his hat
And in five seconds flat
Stole everything Boss Higgins had to steal

He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne

Now here is what separates heroes
From common folk like you and I
The man they call Jayne
He turned 'round his plane
And let that money hit the sky
He dropped it onto our houses
He dropped it into our yards
And the man call Jayne
He turned 'round his plane
And headed out for the stars

He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!

Google it. My understanding of it, is that it is an Eastern philosophy. Worth researching if you are interested.

Let's use the word universe instead of creation. Jainism doesn't believe that the universe was created and nor will it ever end. And they believe in 'a' God but not as a supreme being.

"According to Jain beliefs, the universe was never created, nor will it ever cease to exist. Therefore, history of the universe is Shasta (infinite). It has no beginning or end, but time is cyclical in nature with progressive and regressive spirituality phases."

"The Jain drama believes that this universe Is without a beginning; and without an end. The universe did not begin at any time and it will not end at any time. The Jain Dharma totally rejects the theory that God created this universe; or that he made this world...

We have to think that after all some truth is without a beginning; then why is it not possible to consider that the universe itself is without a beginning ?"

Nice to see a Jainism question on YA .

If Jesus was truly for peace he would have been a Jainist , they literally don't even hurt flies . They wear masks over their mouths to stop themselves accidentally breathing in , and thus killing , insects .

If the meek will truly inherit the earth , these guys win hands down
