No, No -- God was sleeping those times.
Or maybe weeping.

It is self-evident from the creation God exists. Spiders "just so happen" to have spinnerets, "just so happen" to have oiled foot glands to prevent them getting stuck in their own web, "just so happen" to know how to spin a web, even in the dark without using the eyes.
Birds "just so happen" to know how to build a nest, "just so happen" to know to sit on eggs until they hatch and feed the baby birds. Your veins "just so happen" to connect to your heart and lungs for blood to carry oxygen and nutrients, you have bones that "just so happen" to support your weight. The eye "just so happens" to have an optical cord connected to the brain.
How many "just so happens..." does it take for the rational mind to conclude that it did not "just so happen"?
Rational minds conclude that it "just so happens" because of evolution.

Several lifetimes? Don’t Christians believe in Heaven (or Hell) not reincarnation?
Taking several lifetimes to get to the point of elevating your mind to higher vibrations is very Hindu Dharma like where reincarnation until the point of Moksha is the belief.
God is God of everyone - not just Christians.
Yes, that’s also a very Hindu belief. Christians and Abrahamic religions in general have the belief that there are false gods and a true god. That’s why they have to proselytize and convert people.
I don’t think most Christians believe in reincarnation or that their God is the same as God in Hindu Dharma.
To the OP: Here’s what is said in the Bhagavad Gita
BG 4.8
paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśhāya cha duṣhkṛitām
dharma-sansthāpanārthāya sambhavāmi yuge yuge
“To protect the righteous, to annihilate the wicked, and to reestablish the principles of dharma I appear on this earth, age after age.”
This is why we have the 10 avatars and why we have certain established ‘holy’ people that have attained enlightenment while here on earth that continue to teach the dharma.
I’m a Christian that believes in reincarnation, karmic debt, and the possibility that faith can remove your debt. Jesus reincarnated and I think the soul can enter earth several times over so many years. I once did a reading and it said my soul was formerly part of Atlantis, the city undersea.

PP here — do you mind explaining more about avatars?
My child watches The Legenda of Korra where there is an avatar trained to bend light/wind/earth/fire. Is it like that?
