Well, I'll set aside my disbelief in God for long enough to state that, if God, in fact, does exist, we still would not know the answer to this question. That said, I don't think God exists, so, to me, it's a pointless question :P.

Did he create himself or something? I have been sitting here thinking about this for awhlie now and it's kinda interesting if i do say so myself. We all know that the bible says that god created the earth and humans. But how was god created?

He was never created. according to the bible, he has no beggining or end. he has always been here, since before he created the universe. thats part of what my religion teaches anyway.

Neo-ganon

thats a little too convenient, especially considering the rest of the bible actually makes some sense from that point

everything is because god made it so

what about god?

god made himself god.

See? Just doesnt make sense.

Self sustainment logically flows from omnipotence. If God is omnipotent, God is self-sustaining; if God is self-sustaining, God does not need a beginning and can only end if He wants to.

Omnipotence = infinite power.

Infinite power = infinite life.

Infinite life = no beginning or end.

It gets a bit more complicated after that.

[QUOTE="TheFlush"][QUOTE="illegalimigrant"][QUOTE="TheFlush"] Never say never, I personally believe in evolution. We have found objects of civilizations from 6000 years ago. However the earth exists for approximately 4.5 billion years. So look at all the changes that happened in the last 6000 years, now multiply that period of time by 75 million and then you are at the birth of our planet. I think it's completely plausible for us to evolve from amino acids or other organic molecules to what we are now over a period of time of 4.5 billion years.

I don't think you read what I said. I'm not saying anything about evolution. Or the birth of the earth. Or any other scientific theory. I have studied them for a good while now and I'm not arguing against evolution or any of that.

Ok fair, but why a god? Why not some natural occurance? And how do you feel that god is real?

And God could not bet a natural occurence. The problem is that no matter what you will never be able to find the truth. In my life have seen things and felt things that are out of anything science can point to. To believe that science is the only truth is to believe that a deaf person can enjoy music. Science is based on what we can observe mainly trough sight and touch and coumpounded from that. If you believe that the truth is only what we can see and derive from that then you are believing that we have all the senses to understand the total truth. But regardless you can't say that my belief in God makes no sense since a belief in no god would also not make sense. If you think about it us being alive mentaly and counciously does not make a lot of sense either.

If you are religious or Atheist you are required to take a leap of faith in regards to how something has always existed. As a religious believer you believe that God transcends time and Space, and so he can exist and always will exist. If you are an atheist you have to believe that our universe, the one we live and interact with, somehow exists outside of time and space, and can cause a transfer of energy which can led to an infinite creation of this universe, or many separate universes. So whenever you talk about how the Universe or God came to be, it's a GIGANTIC leap of faith that one has to take.

Well, infinite life implies no end, but it doesn't imply no beginning. Something could logically be created and have infinite life thereafter...

Most religions will tell you that he/she/it is not affected by time, and has always existed. It's just a leap of faith you have to make, I guess.

efrucht
And that is why it's called faith. You just have to believe, and you can question, but do not change your beliefs on the thoughts of others.

That is something far beyond the comprehension of the human mind. I think however, its Him just existing and nothing more.

No, that's definitely still infinite.

Think about the set N = {1,2,3,4,5,...,n,...}. It is most certainly infinite, but it does have a beginning. On the other hand, Z = {...,-n,,...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...,n,...} is also infinite, but has no beginning.

Saying that there is no God is like going to the top of the empire state building and saying that it is just a mere illusion that someone created this building, it was created by a trillion chances all going right and hence we have the building standing all on it's own..

God is here forever. . . I think. Of course what about all of those religions that came before Christianity. And how Christianity stole all of its ideas from those religions. No one knows.

If God is real and he created space and time how could he have a beginning? The term 'A beginning' refers to creation at some point in our time. God can not be created within his own creation. That's what we call a paradox. Gos must live outside our space and time which means he lives in a higher dimension.
