If god is real ...

then who created god?

so God just appeared out of thin air and said "im bored. I think im going to create the universe over the next seven days" ?

nobody.

I really have no idea.
I've always been taught that he was the beginning and the end.
he was just there,
and I was taught not to question that.

I rest my case.

Ok, God created Time and Space.
Unless you atheists can give me an explanation to the creation of time and space I'll never go back to atheism.
I've been studying atheism for a couple years and realized its all a pile of crap.
Tell me how could anything have formed without a The Creator.
The most accurate explanation to the creation of the universe is god.
The Bible has also predicted things that have been happening to this day.
Jesus will come back and save us believers, and grant us eternal life while the people who don't worship him will be doomed to the earth.
Read Revelation 13:8
I will pray for you to get your mind straight, but try and think about that okay.

I REST MY CASE

it's a matter of faith.

well this is all quite clear...
mary: "hey...um...sweetie?"
joseph:"what?"
mary:"you know how we never...made love?"
joseph:"*sigh*...yeah..."
mary:"well...see...an angel came to me...and..."
joseph:" JESUS CHRIST!"

and then he appeared in mexico strapped to a burrito...

duh!

What do you mean you rest your case jello? Let me ask you this. According to physics, energy and matter can neither be created or destroyed. So if we know that energy and matter currently exist, then where did they come from? Did they always exist? For the Big Bang Theory to happen there had to be energy and matter already.

You can either think the Universe and energy and matter had a beginning and wonder how it started, or you can assume they always existed. Why then can you not think that God always existed?

Ok I will admit Science cant explain that... yet.

But the theory of God cant explane it either ...

And I wasnt backing it in the first place

Actually, the theory of God states that he always existed. So yea, it explains it. We have to face it, either something always existed or something just popped into existence. Thats the only two possible explanations.

I find it just as feasible that God always existed or just popped into existence, as matter and energy always existed or popped into existence.

well then you just contridicted yourself...

God is capable of "always existing"
yet matter isnt?

We can conclude that matter has not always existed, and energy is a product of space. Quantum physics allows energy and matter to be interchangable. All you theists have is that a God has always existed, design your expierament and prove your case. Us rational humans haven't seen the proof sense over 200,000 years.

Maybe a bigger bang.
Another thing to think about is the fact that time didn't exist, neither did Earth...so, in fact days didn't exist. So how would anyone know it took 7 days to create the universe?? Did God keep track on his Earth calender, marking the days off as he went?

no one he created us

I dont know you have a good point? And if he always exist how come he created adam and eve so late?

this is subject could be argued for AGES
I am not sure really, but I believe in god with all my heart.
but I know its not possible that we was just always THERE
by the way im loving vultureofculture's answer hahahahah

*** "I've been studying atheism for a couple years and realized its all a pile of crap. "

I would think that after a few years of study, you would have figured out atheism is not a field of study.

In regards to the big bang, there is nothing in big bang theory that suggests the creation of energy. Conservation of energy still applies within the domain of the big bang.

swordfreak(& Runeblade, pay attention!), you miss the concept of atheist completely, you're thinking of scientologist.
& I just so happen to be kind of a scientologist myself.

THERE'S ANOTHER THEAORY OTHER THAN THE BIG BANG!
Two parallel universes collided & created this universe as we know it. The ripples in the universe created the clumps of matter.
The smoking gun has been found of the "big bang", although it could also prove this "new" theory(thogh uit's been around for nearly a decade if not longer)
Supposedly energy always did exist.
How this universe was created was by a black hole. There was this massive cloud of gas which collapsed in on itself & made a black hole. The pulling & such of the black hole created a vacuum effect condensing the surrounding gas & making them implode into stars. When the black hole stopped feeding, walla, you have the Milky Way.
Planet earth was formed(along with the astral belt & a few other planets) when two planets collided. Earth was close enough, but not to close, to sustain water. The elements & things required to make life have been found on comments(not that Darien's crap).

Here's a question, why wouldn't there be more than 1 God? If he just is, why wouldn't there be other beings who just are, & if he was created, who isn't to say there were more than one god. & don't give 'because he's all powerful mighty god' that's not answering anything, it's just an unrelated statement.
& if matter isn't always able to exiest then niether is god because he's a source of matter, ti-da, common since

I wonder how many people here failed science

NO I didnt' contradict myself. Science says matter can not be created or destroyed. Simple law of physics. God (in the since of religion) is spiritual and no made of matter.

As for you the x13child. All those theories still require matter and energy, but where did they come from. I am a christian, but I am not claiming that God is real, it is just a personal belief.

As for failing science, I never came close. In fact I have a degree in engineering, so you could say my life revolves around science.

What do the physical laws have to do with the subatomics? there are studied and completly accurate theories of where matter and energy come from. Such religious supposition is better disregarded as ancient fairytales.
