By collecting sand, soil and rocks in a region so that the mainland sea, of course with a unique design and with an area in accordance with that desired by the maker of the island itself.
But all is not as perfect as artificial islands made in God's original island, and I'm sure the island will not last long, and now also has a part of the island are eroded by ocean waves.
The original God-made island just eroded many waves, let alone man-made ... what you agree with me ?

Everything above is only part of man-made island in the world, the beauty of the island is not as beautiful and as strong as the original island of God.
Some of the island there are eroded by ocean waves and began to sink, however I am amazed at people who have made the island the island. At the very least could be history in the future, and hopefully in the future there will also be able to build the island like that anymore, of course with better results than what was already there.
