Creation

Who are the angels? What is an angel? Do they exist nowadays? Are they on earth? how do we know we have been contacted by an angel? What is the purpose of the angels? Are there different purposes for different angels?

Hello! So I was wondering how the Jewish population thinks humans were created! I'm very curious about different religions and I would love to know!

In Genesis 4:1, Eve says, "I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord." Does the original word used for "Lord" (if it has been translated properly) indicate the Lord God, or is it intended to be as in "my Lord Adam," as it is used in other places to designate the husband or a master?

Dear Rabbi, with the creation of light, our awareness of our present condition began. But the sun and the moon were not created immediately, so how was it possible for the first day to end? I'm sure this basic question has been asked before along with several others of a related kind. Where is a good English source to find the answers?  

My question deals with the human mind and consciousness of the world.   Genesis 2:7.   “God formed the Human blowing into his nostrils the (mind) breath of life: the Human became a living being.”   Def: לְנֶ֥פֶשׁ: breath of life, mind, soul   I believe this pesuk answers what scientists and philosophers have questioned for centuries. Many believe that neurons, synapsis’, electrical signals along nerve pathways, and brain chemicals are the origin and reality of our conscious minds.   The question is how matter/atoms attach consciousness and wisdom to dust. How does brain matter or dust see, hear, taste, smell, feel, or have an awareness of thoughts, cognition, dreams, and interpersonal relationships? We must look closely at Genesis 1:26-27 for a more accurate understanding of Hashem’s creation.   “And God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness. They shall rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the cattle, the whole earth, and all the creeping things that creep on earth.” And God created humankind in the divine image, creating it in the image of God—creating them male and female.” As Hashem has no likeness, image, or substance, to whom is He talking? In human terms, our human consciousness/mind has no likeness, image, or substance. Could the Infinite Creator be a MIND be talking to our finite created mind’s consciousness? Before He blew us in the nostrils of our matter/atom body at first breath, we became humankind.   Your insight is appreciated.
