So really, if an Always Existing, uncreated incorporeal "thing" like space-time continuum exist, then why not God?
its not fact,yeah going on our believes its fact but going on what was fact before we,ve kinda had a kick up the arse to put it the best way,scientists are having to reavaluate things all the time so there is no 100% proof,just cause someones telling me something doesn,t mean i have to take it as fact especially when what was believed is getting proved wrong all the time.

so cause Einstein believed in big bang i should?yeah all evidence that human race believes but we,r learning lately that what we believed about other things in universe we may have just got a little bit wrong,take more than Einstein saying he believed for me to believe that everything came from nothing.

sorry i don,t believe in god and i certainly don,t believe in the so called big bang theory so like many millions i,m yet to know anything and never will its human nature they have to have a reason for everything even tho nothings ever been proved,we have to except in our lifetime at least that you pick one and go with it.
If there's no "big-bang" the Singularity, are you saying then that there was no "Beginning"?
If so how could that be since all evidence show that at one point in time there was no Universe then "bang" - there it was.
Heck even Einstein believe it.
i,ll guarantee that Einstein thought the moons round Saturn were dead but guess what we,ve found out that we,r wrong in that.
Umm...yeah because it's been proven time and time again that INDEED - the material universe had a beginning.
It's not just based on thoughts or speculation - it's a fact that: The Universe Did Had a Beginning at one Point in time - called the Singularity.
But the point or the question that needs to be answered is:
If space-time exist and that it had no beginning and end, even uncreated, why not God?

What in interesting and provocative question: Why God Exist?
Well, I've often wondered this as well. Why does god exist? As well, I wonder why do the "early" gods no longer exist?
Can both of those questions be answered by one word? Yes, I think so, and that word is BELIEF.
I am in no position as to state whether or not god exists, but I do know that god, as perceived by most, is an intriguing and universal security blanket for most of the world.
I know that faith is supposed to be most true when. . .well, it's like this,
Some things are true, whether we believe in them or not. And true faith is belief in something when everything else tells you not to believe. So, does god exist?
Yes, for some. For me personally? I am honestly not sure that my version of god fits the "norm", as it were.
But here's an interesting question.
Did I exist before posting in this thread? Do I require faith of the masses to exist?
Simply put, yes. . .and no.
Why does god exist? To justify the events of many lives that need to believe in something greater than the self.

I'm confused. You keep talking about the big bang, yet now you say that space-time has no beggining.
Space-time did not exist before the big bang. Isn't that the whole point of it?
And because we are located in this space-time continuum it doesn't even make any sense to ask what was before the big bang.
This is asking what was before time. Or what is outside space. It is meaningless and incomprehensible, we must rethink the whole question.

To the contrary, Space-time existed way before the big-bang.
Einstein prove it E = mc2 and it does makes sense to ask what's before the "big-bang" because by not asking about it then we're left with no alternative answer but to say "there was absolutely nothing before the big bang".
Yet E = mc2 tells us that the physical universe is the transformation of Energy.
And the fact that space-time existed before we even existed begs the question:
If space-time continuum exist, why not God?
Einstein proved it in his time but we have better technology now that Einstein himself may have changed his mind,Einstein was ahead of his time but would he still believe what he believed back then if he had the tools we have today?that you don,t know.

What sort of God would exist that laid down a whole load of rules and regulations that he/she insisted we live by over 2000 years ago ......and then never show up again?
If I was a God I'd be showing up every day and smiting and smoting like it was going out of fashion!
i was dealing with facts 10 years ago that moons orbiting saturn were dead,no chance of them having anything interesting going on,now whats happened since?

You're missing the point - I'm dealing with facts here.
I don't know bout you but I believe that space-time exist BASED on tangible evidence (mathematical or otherwise).
It's 100% guaranty that "IT" exist. Yet if such phenomena can exist then why not God?
There's an easy answer to your question but you need to prove to yourself first that he exist otherwise the answers won't matter much.

How can you say that time existed before something? Was there a point in time when you could say "time does not exist yet, but hang on, in a couple of minutes it should start existing"? Does time exist inside itself?
It might exist inside some kind of meta-time. A space-time that contains our space-time, in a bubble if you will. Why not, that could be. But this would make the big bag irrelevant to our discussion. Unless God is only the God of our space-time and he too wonders what created him?
I'm not saying there was nothing before the big bang. But "before" is the wrong word. We could ask what caused the big bang (assuming cause and effect existed before the big bang), or what else exists than the space-time continuum?
The English language is a poor tool for asking questions like these.
My conflict is simply that I don't think the aspects of God, as accepted by humans, exists.

What Is Your Conclusion?
What say you?
Should not the existence of "something" uncreated and infinite proves the existence of "someone" uncreated and infinite - God?
