God doesn't hide behind the Big Bang

It always struck me as being weird for people to claim god created the universe, it just strikes me as arguing from ignorance and throwing Occam's razor in the bin.

We've either got an enormously complicated arrangement of matter and energy popping into existence out of nothing.

Or we've got simple arrangements of matter and energy popping into existence out of nothing.

What's more likely?

The universe through natural laws has taken 13.7 billion years to develop something as complex as us, let alone something as complex as god. To argue that god just sprung up and then created the universe defies basic reason.

It also shows how inconsistent many of the believers are, they're willing to accept a supreme being popped into existence out of nothing, but when it comes to an atomic particle popping into existence, or life slowly evolving their brains somehow can't handle it.

Of course some believers answer that god has always existed, which is nothing less than moving the goal posts, they have no evidence that god has always existed. I can claim the universe has always existed in one form or another and remove god from the equation that way, at least that doesn't defy logic.

After all we know that although time is likely finite, it isn't bound. Just like the Earth is finite in surface area it isn't bound and like time doesn't have a beginning or an end.

Personally I think it would be cruel for the believers to claim god has existed forever, can you imagine spending an infinity twiddling your thumbs before creating the universe? That's one supreme being who would of been bored for a very long time.

You make two basic errors. The first involves the anthromorphication of God. Yes, you would be bored!

The other mistake you make is failing to differentiate between physical matter which must have a beginning and God which, by his nature, does not.

Thanks,

Nice site.

Take all the matter in the Universe and condense it into one entity, and what have you got? The most unstable element conceivable. What happens to unstable elements? Radioactivity! BANG - and the Universe was created.

How do you know what god's nature is? Saying god exists outside of the natural laws we have is moving the goal posts.

If that's the sort of "evidence" you need to believe in god then well, I'll just believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

First of all lets use the word (anthromorphification)properly. It is to negativly change the molecular structure of solid mater so that it may pass thru solid objects. This information comes from Dr.Jeen Scott Pastor and philologist. It was read from the ethiopic script which dates back thousand of years.

So much looking backwards to what has happened. What is more intriguing is what is going to happen. Don't worry. He does have messengers and He'll let us in on the next step. By all anticipations, there is a big one coming around the corner. Be prepared for something special amidst a lot of turmoil. There are creatures in our dimension that are left over from His earlier engineering projects. Randomness, though, cannot create our presence, nor our awareness.
