Our absence of knowledge regarding the creation of the universe does not equate to proof of a divine creator. It simply means we don't know - we can't know - what lead to the creation of matter and space. You can buy into fairy tales all you want, nobody will stop you. Ultimately, what you believe doesn't matter, but please, don't try to pass off this heap of s*** as factual evidence of god; it's childish.
We have discovered certain universal laws through physics, laws that tell us how our universe operates. We believe the universe is expanding, we believe that all of the matter in our universe could be compacted into the size of a walnut. When it comes to creation theories regarding our universe, physics is uncovering more and more proof that we're actually living in a simulation; that none of this is real. If that's the case, then it doesn't really matter how the universe came to be, does it? Somebody coded our universe's laws and let the rest of it run its course. We're insignificant biological programs trapped in the simulation, like a really advanced sims game. We created god to explain the things we couldn't understand. We don't need god anymore.

And the Bible is not the only source for evidence that life or the universe was a creation by God.
Creation or nature also gives us evidence.

Fantastic. Then how about you show us some of that evidence within nature that proves creation by God. Because all you've done so far is talk about how "the evidence is all around us" but then spend the entire time attacking atheists and claiming to know how they think and talk about what they believe as if you'd know.
Then you include small clips of cosmological theory which you clearly don't understand and then misrepresent what they are saying the same as you do atheists in general.
Proving someone else or their theory incorrect does not prove you or your theory correct as a result. You must still prove your theory independently of some alternative.
Why don't you prove yours then??

super nice thread, I love the way you presented yourself with arguments through out this thread.
It is hard to imagine infinity creator, many people are stuck with question, if god created us, who created him?
We were all there at some point, but some of us contemplated this and have come out of. Our human perception is limiting and we are so used to it, that the prospective of infinity, absolute creator is so out of the box that it just does not compute for common man or especially science it is illogical. But it appears only so, when you are stuck with measuring reality with our senses even though we are not our senses, that is part of the illusion which all spiritual text write about. We are that which is not hearing, seeing, touching, etc...we are ALL that which just IS. And with meditation we can recognize that. And you can label it whatever you like (atman, soul, awareness, conciousness). Again, this is just our prospective which we use for easier understanding but creator is totally outside of this but at the same time everything is happening in IT!
Maybe it would help with imagination if we compare creator to the sky or air. Sky is without attributes, everything is just happening in the sky. We see birds, clouds...whole earth and us are in the sky. Sky is everywhere but nowhere at the same time. We are ALL dependent of it and IN it! Yet you cannot see it, you cannot feel it. But from the sky comes wind, which nature is opposite from the sky. Sky appears to us as static, immobile "thing". But wind is the most movable/mobile and it starts and disappears in the sky. And nothing affect the sky it is totally unrelated to anything, but it encompass everything.
Basically any attribute you stuck to creator is just for our amusement or imagination for better understanding. But reality is so far from words or language as earth is from the sky.
I bet only a few will get the true meaning of this statements because it is contradictory. But remember, god and human prospective are the same and with precise filter what is and what is not you can get to the real meaning.

Again with the presumption you can speak for the other side of this debate.
No scientifically minded person says it all came from "nothing". We say we don't comprehend / understand what was before what we see.
I am not convinced you understand your God at all. I think you are pretending to. Because so far you cant even comprehend a simple concept. eg..... Us thinkers say we don't know 1% of what there is to know.
VS ...... You say you know everything there is to know.

So to recap. You understand what other Men told you to think about your God. Ok Dokey.
Modern media often refers to the creation/evolution debate as a conflict between “science and religion.” In fact, there is no science to support evolution. The word science refers to knowledge gained through observation. A scientist (through experimentation) observes events as they happen, and then chronicles the details of those events.
The evolutionist has faith that these things happened, but he has not seen them and neither does he have any way of proving them. Therefore, the Evolution vs. Creation debate is not a matter of science vs. religion – but rather, religion vs. religion.
DARWIN DEBUNKED
"The more one studies paleontology, the more certain one becomes that evolution is based on faith alone." ~ paleontologist T.L. Moor
Science has so thoroughly discredited Darwinian evolution that it should be discarded. ~ Australian biologist Michael Denton
Evolution is positively anti-science. Science deals with things that are testable, observable, and demonstrable and evolution has none of those qualities. To call evolution "science" is to confuse fairy tales with facts. True, evolution has been mixed with science for the last thirty years, but that does not mean that it is the same as science.
Beer is often advertised during sporting events but the two subjects have no logical connection, and evolution has no more to do with science than beer has to do with sports.
Cult of Evolutionism
“… the general scientific world has been bamboozled into believing that evolution has been proved. Nothing could be further from the truth …” ~ Dr. Samuel L. Blumenfeld

you must realise you did not have these views until told what to think right?
The truth is there is no debate, it's an open/shut case when observed through the lens of historical fact: The 'evolution theory' is purely a political weapon used to shut down Man's awakening to his true potential which began with the spread of the revelation of Christ as the promised Savior which all the world was waiting for... Now look around you: illiteracy/ignorance is up, 'science' is faked to serve Global politics and transnational corporations... Socialists needed evolution as the backbone to sell their world-view and evolution needed Socialism to force it into the public mind via compulsory learning and media support.
Exposing the Pagan Roots of Evolution
Ever since the time of Darwin, part of the major press has been given the task of disseminating Darwinist indoctrination. The Darwinists of the time were well aware that the theory of evolution would never be corroborated by any scientific evidence, but produced a Darwinist dictatorship as the result of systematic and organized activities and charged part of the major press with spreading the fraud. The press in question is still at work today. The only difference is that the Darwinist fraud they perpetrate has now been exposed.
Darwinist Propaganda Techniques
"Now, it is easy to show that Darwinism, one of the pillars of modern biology, is nothing but a kind of cult, a cult religion. I am not exaggerating. It has no scientific validity whatsoever. Darwin's so-called theory of evolution is based on absurdly irrational propositions, which did not come from scientific observations, but were artificially introduced from the outside, for political-ideological reasons."
Jonathan Tennenbaum: Toward a True Science of Life
His theory of evolution was the result of the spread of Kabbalistic occult science in Europe following the Reformation and through the masonic Alta Vendita, a conspiracy to subvert the Christian faith and replace it with the anti-Christ Kabbalistic world order. Darwinism and its occult science set the foundation for technocracy, or, the scientific dictatorship currently enveloping the world.
Illuminati Agents – Series V
In the Illuminati propaganda arsenal, the greatest tool for destroying faith in God has been Darwin's theory of evolution. I know some say "I believe in evolution and God." Nonetheless, countless people have become atheists from being taught the theory as "fact" - I was once one of them.
Darwinism is an Illuminati Scam

Since God is UNCREATED, therefore He has no beginning and has no end. He always existed. Otherwise the alternative is, he was created, which regresses to an un-ending question of who created the creator of God.
There's no other answer - but that he is what He is, Uncreated.
To help you contemplate - think of the concept of infinity. We have it mathematics and sciences. So when we say an infinite number, it means as it says, no beginning and no end.
