Siddhartha Gautama lived in the sixth century B.C., about the time that Juda was exiled to Babylon, from 563-483 B.C.. It is believed that his father wished to shelter him from the sufferings of this world like sickness, poverty, old age and death, but one day he left the shelter of his fathers castle and was confronted with all four. This experience changed him and he left home, wife and son to go find the source of suffering and end it. He tried many different things to get the information but nothing he did seemed to work.

After successfully resisting him he attained enlightenment and began going by the name Buddha, which means, " the enlightened one" .

Creationists emphatically believe that God is a personal and caring Creator that answers prayers.
