A solid beginning? Not sure i get you there. God is eternal - no beginning and no end, just because you have never seen something happen, doesn't mean its impossible.

NOTHING can NEVER exist.
Again, im not sure what you mean by this.

The existence of the universe is therefore eternal, infinite, and SOLID.
What about the orange juice sitting in front of me on my desk?

A beginning represents NOTHING before it and nothing CANNOT exist. Why? Well then one must ponder what brang existence into existence? It is infinity.
No, it is God. Consider for example if i want top make a little model world in a box. According to the little people on this world, there was nothing before, because there was no box for their world to live in.

"What created that? What created that? and that?" INFINITY.
You are personifying infinity, so clearly, Infinity must be a certain being that created everything (God maybe?). Your whole arguement sounds rather contradictory.

The God spoken of in the Bible does meet all these criteria we are just yet to accept it.
I have accepted Him

Death is eternal for the conscious being, but while it is alive it is living eternally within its own existence.
No, im livving in a little place i like to call the universe, created by God. I do not live within myself.

God is the universe and God created us through evolution, we should live to know God.
No, God isnt the universe! He made the universe.
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
God made the stars! And he also made 'the sky' in which they were made (the universe)

an infinite mirror? What is it mirroring?

"Heaven" is HERE.
Heaven is a perfect place, this world is not perfect, and neither is any human perfect, so any 'Heaven is within us' arguements are false.

We are ALL "Gods" and "Godesses" because "God" is within us and "God" IS us.
The Holy spirit of God can be inside those that he deems worthy, but that is as far as it goes. How can God be us if we were created by him in the first place? That just doesnt make sense at all.

"God" IS the universe and we ARE the universe.
We are a part of the universe, yes.

The creator creates the creation (us) and then the creation creates, and the creation becomes creators. The creation realizes that it IS the creator.
If the creation creates, it can be a creator, not the creator that created them in the first place.

So If I hired a professional with some credentials and had him type this out to you you'd take my word for what it is? But as long as I'm 21 years old none of my imagination or truth matters? "Imagination is more important that knowledge." Albert Einstein. He was pretty smart.... don't you think? So physical features and my musical interests now discredit my knowledge? How low will you go? Just try and understand what I presented.
Our purpose is quite simply to love and make each other feel whole inside. The reality is that when we die... we just die and there is nothing after.
I doubt you'd see too many more suicide bombers strapping a vests themselves... because now there is no heaven to enter after you die... heaven is here, and right now it is hell because we haven't accepted what heaven is.

We are not exclusive of the universe. The atoms and molecules that make up our bodies ARE the universe because we are existing within it and it is existing within us.

:O So, i could basically know everything everyone is thinking? That'd give me a headache, and i dont like the sound of it. Imagine people intruding on your personal thoughts all the time. A kid goes to school and is about to ask this girl out, he walks up to her, she is laughinng because she already knows whats gonna happen! That would be ridiculous.

The universe is not existing inside us, the universe is a collective term for all matter, see here.

Well I never recall implying that we are the entire thing... only that since you are the universe, the universe is within you. The part of the universe that you are... is within you, but I'm glad that's cleared up. Thank you

Only until you get hit by a car, which wasn't in your imagination. Reality kind of sucks that way.
