i am new to the whole rendering and animation thing and so i know absolutely nothing about it…so i was wondering if i can be pointed in the right direction to start and i also wanted to know if this program can be used as a physics engine for making games…any help would be appreciated 
Welcome to 3D!
A good starter tutorial:

a cooler one:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BSoD/Introduction_to_Character_Animation
a good place to bookmark ;), the blender wiki, containing many other tutorials and a comprehensive manual:

thank you very much 
il try some of those links…and does this program work as a game developer? i mean can i make games with it also? if not what program would work with this one also?
Oops, yeah, Blender has a Game Engine.
You can make games with Blender too.

oh and…im having trouble with the actual putting of my render picture into a file…i dont really understand how to do it other then just take a screenshot and then upload it…im sure there is a better way
I would recommend consulting the wiki, and going through the tutorials and information there.
If you follow the first link that egan posted you’ll find
