God and other energies like spirits should become physics laws or true facts and it should be accepted by every scientists.
I hate fanatical mindless atheists who thinks they know everything and deny a superior force whitout a solid proof.Big scientists like Einstein aproved that God exists but in other forms,he said that God means the whole physical laws in the universe and that he didnt used logic in some of his discoveries.
The way God is described in religions has a primitive concept of him so we humans as an evolved species in this universe should change this whole primitive concepts about God using rational thoughts and some psychological facts.
Soooo. 0+0=1 is incorrect, therefore; God exists?
What is the 0 again?

The universe, existing in time, cannot be eternal, therefore, there was once a time when there was nothing.
A Universe with matter or radiation totally has a singularity at time t=0, but — and this is very, very important — an inflating Universe does not! In fact, we can take the inflating, exponentially expanding Universe back arbitrarily far, and what do we find? It never reaches a size of zero! If you want an inflating Universe to have a singularity, you need to go back an infinite amount of time!
.....the idea that our Universe started from a singularity was a very good one back when we thought that the only important things in our Universe were matter and radiation, but now that we know about inflation, there is no reason to believe that our Universe ever had a singularity in the past.
Larry Krause took a stab at it with 2012's A Universe From Nothing and made a serious embarrassment of himself, Richard Dawkins and the New Atheists.

The problem is you can' t just assign a single algebraic value to "everything" as it is obviously FAR more complicated than that. You also have no proof that "nothing" ever existed. It's a nonsensical equation on both sides of it and any mathematician or scientist would be laughing his head off reading that silliness. The only way to prove god is through objective evidence, not some 3rd grade level math equation that completely over simplifies reality as we know it and essentially makes up variables. I mean have you seen the equations involved in relativity or string theory? And you think you can sum all that up with plain old X or assign a numerical value to infinity? No chance.
Why? How would you know that?
So by exploring possibilities, at least within the parameters of genuine science, this is making a fool of yourself?

Fine. Let "y" be "something". Make it a quark or a lepton.
Both of you seem to be labouring in the belief that I think that this "proves God" -- I don't. I think it's a pretty stupid argument, as a matter of fact. But I think that it's equally stupid to dismiss it and say that the philosophical issues that it raises are irrelevant, because some of the deepest thinkers ever have pondered it and come up short.
So, feel free to explain how something can come from nothing. Prove it, and you'll be "as big as Darwin", lol.

Because, while the universe can have an infinite future, it cannot have an infinite past, or this moment would never have arrived.
Dawkins made a fool of himself by claiming in the book's afterward that Krause's claims would be seen one day to be as revolutionary as Darwin's. But it only took a few months for David Albert to demonstrate that Krause had shown that Krause's "proofs" were that something can come from something, not that something can come from nothing. Krause's response was to belittle "moronic philosophers" who don't understand his genius, but no one seems to be making that "as huge as Darwin" connection any longer.
