Hello. Hare Krishna...

Actually God is everyone's father. We are all his sons. But the living 
entity (the soul) takes shelter within the semen of the man and whe he 
has sex with his wif the seed is planted within the womb of the mother 
and the child gradually develops. First a pea-like form is there and 
gradually the different holes of the body develop and the body forms. 
After seven months the child becomes conscious within the womb and after 
9/10 months he takes birth...

But we are eternal. The body is born, the body gets old, the body gets 
sick and then the body dies... But the soul doesn't die. WE DON"T DIE... 
Depending on our consciousness at the time of death we get our next birth 
accordingly. If we live like an animal in this life our next life will be 
an animals, if we develop Krishna consciousness in this life we will 
become Krishna conscious, and our next life will be with Krishna in the 
spiritual world... We can also go to heven or hell or even take birth as 
an animal or a plant.

hope it helps...

Chant Hare Krishna and be happy
