I dont know where you got that info, but the theory states something completely different, it just seems that when science take its time to explain something religious people just try to use it as proof that a god exist, which makes no sense.

With Earth's chemistry and just the general laws of physics being fine tuned to a very specific fundamental values, its hard to believe that this universe was not created sometimes. The question is... by what? An all powerful being? Or another race of aliens that just treat us like we treat the Sims? Or is it actually an a coincidence?

If God created the universe out of nothing, then the real question should be who created God?

I think it's interesting that the idea of G-d being infinite somehow bothers scientists, but the idea of matter being infinite doesn't bother them in the least.

Probably because one has a logic support

[QUOTE="Shottayouth13-"][QUOTE="Gunslinger_1988"] You are assuming it was created by something. What you should really be saying is "how was the universe formed" Gunslinger_1988
The question of 'how' neither you nor I can answer. Must not there be source materials from which you can then create something?

I am not answering, but rather asking the question.

I don't see how there is logic to support that anything has been around for an infinitely long time.

Time hasnt always been around, existing before and after time is entirely possible in the case of energy, besides he stated infinite amount, not time.

It doesn't "bother" scientists.. Nor do they claim that matter is infinite.. And if god "bothers" scientists its because the fact its a unfounded theory with no evidence.

Playing devil's advocate here, that doesn't stop scientists from proposing other baseless theories with no evidence like the multiverse concept or the proposal that Higgs-Bozon particles created by the LHC are traveling back through time to break the LHC before it can create them.

Except those are based on mathmatics... God can not be explained through mathmatics, the being defies any kind of research.. Infact there is a theoretical idea that god is infact in all of us.. Or that we are merely the products of a simulation within a program.. yet again these are merely scientific ideas that have not been made into theory..

I have no interest in astrophysics, because it seems pretty irrelevant to my life. I'm not going to live any differently by knowing where or if the universe ends, and I'm not going to live any differently by knowing where or if the universe began.

Then don't make baseless assumptiosn on things you have no clue about. Furthermore astrophyiscs can effect every one on this planet when it comes to things like meteor strike, or a solar flare.. Things we can either prepare for, or flat out prevent (meteor strike being stopped gravitational towing, something put forward by the people of the study you seem to not care for)..

If God created the universe out of nothing, then the real question should be who created God?

I think it's interesting that the idea of G-d being infinite somehow bothers scientists, but the idea of matter being infinite doesn't bother them in the least.

It's quite simple, really: "God" only comes into the equation if time is finite (Requiring matter/energy to be created - note that this is actually in direct contradiction of a scientific law, unlike an infinite timespan). If "god" is also infinite and was not created, then this breaks a fundamental point in the pro-"God" side: that all actions must have a source or cause. Once that point is broken, there is no need to bring God into the equation because you have already opened the possibility of matter/energy having existed eternally.

Also, it doesn't bother "scientists". Science currently does not have a theory of exactly how matter and energy originated, to my knowledge.

I'm not an Athiest, but the question is, how was God made?

God, by definition, is not a creation because his creator would thus be God himself. The only way there is no god-life figure (god-like in the sense that it is the greatest object that exists, personal or not) is to say that nothing exists at all. As far as the Christian God, he is God because nothing is greater than himself. Even the creation itself is dependent upon him while he depends upon nothing outside of himself. Not trying to be off-topic here or change this into a religious discussion... but he asked the question and I felt obligated to respond. :P

Matter is infinite? I thought scientists believe in there being a finite amount of matter/energy in the universe.

There is a finite amount, but apparently the only logical conclusion is that it has existed for an infinitely long time.

You have it backwards. The big bang happened ~13.7 billion years ago, and before that the universe was a singularity, so time can be disregarded before then. So we only see and feel the effect of masses 13.7 billion light years away.
