For people to admit God exists requires a response to him. Man does not want to do that so it's easier to say God not exist but space time and aliens do.
No it just requires that God show himself in a way that satisfies the unbeliever. He is supposed to be infinitely powerful, so he should know how to reveal himself individually to each and every person on the planet to leave zero doubt in their mind that he is the creator. God would know this is the case, yet chooses not to reveal himself using this method.
It's also easier to believe in evolution even though that requires more faith than believing in a being outside our understood time and space where all our existence is as if a split second.
Um, no it doesn't. Evolution is backed up by credible science. Does it explain everything? No, but that was never a claim that evolution or scientists who study it ever made. It also doesn't fill in the blanks with copout answers based on blind faith. It may fill in the blanks with educated guesses based on research, but it is always noted as such and as long as new evidence doesn't debunk these guesses, they can be upheld as probably true. I would say that believing something based on blind faith requires FAR more faith than believing something with much supporting evidence corroborating it. You are just being willfully ignorant here.
But ignorance does not prove the inexistance of something. Microbes do not believe humans exist because they are outside their understanding and their time and space relating to their form of existence.
Microbes also don't contemplate the existence of higher powers that may or may not have created them. But you bring up a good point, but you need to elaborate on it more. Ignorance doesn't prove the non-existence of something, but it doesn't prove its existence either. The fact remains we don't know one way or the other that a God exists or doesn't exist. This is indisputable.edit on 12-11-2013 by Krazysh0t because: (no reason given)
and God has to do this, why?
you are aware of Him, what more do you need?
or should i say, what more do people need?

I'm wondering why the limit of creation stops at 'our universe', as if, there were an imposed physical limit on the parameters of uncreated and infinite within which to operate...

The differences the Space/Time is a concept that can be somehow can be tested and proven to exist, and its origin is unknown. where god is just made up.
If some random guy comes up and says "im a god, test me" and we run series of test on him, his immortality, his knowledge, then we can be like, hmm maybe its possible he might be god.
But we have Nothing Sir! Nothing! Good day!edit on 11/13/2013 by luciddream because: (no reason given)

Well, would be nice to know if there are other "things" that are going on - as we speak - "outside" the "boundaries" of the "known universe". Hopefully, the launch of next space telescopes will give us an idea, but for now we can speculate and travel space-time within our minds.
Fascinating about the human mind - how is it that we're able to contemplate and ponder about the universe without even being there?
It is as if we're meant to travel space-time and contemplate its infinite vastness without blowing our minds.
mind-blowing indeed but not.
No we don't know that it is either infinite or eternal. The part we can detect has limits and appears to have begun around 13.8 billion years ago. It could be as you claim and there are other models, but you haven't shown where or why your claim is a fact.
..even if the universe does come to an end, it won't be for at least twenty billion years.
The no boundary hypothesis also predicts that the universe will eventually collapse again.

E=mc2 falls apart before Plank Time. There is no reason to Accept e=mc2 before the Big Bang, because the theory is based om matter/particles/light that appeared after the Big Bang.
There is no doubt that many of you dont realy think very hard about this topic. It is odd that People dont understand what a absolute empty Space realy is. Or nothingness for that matter. This Space is only absolute empty of every matter and particle we know of. A absolute empty Space consists of just ONE infinite Source of energy/densety. And it is absolutely neutral. Again, it is the only Space time that can be absolute infinite.
Mathematically; this absolute neutral Space time can not change randomly, it would need some form of will to create a change. To form a New Space time. Like the singularity.

It's called the "law of conservation" and it's one of the most basic laws of science.
It says energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be changed to one form or another.
..................
Matter can be converted to its alternate form, energy, otherwise matter remains invariant.
A balanced equation has each atom and each electron that comes into the reaction accounted for in the product side, and every atom and every electron coming out of the reaction is present on the input side of the equation. THis implies that each atom on the input side of the equation and each electron is balanced on the output side.
Not only does the ballanced equation express confidence in the total amount of mass coming in and out, it also assumes that the identity of atoms and electrons is preserved.
We could have an equation that appears to preserve mass but which would require atoms to change to atoms of different elements. In chemistry that is not expected. It does happen in nuclear physics, and in nuclear physics not only are elemental atoms not preserved, mass itself is not maintained, and has to be accounted for in terms of energy generated.

To say that IT is not means that before the big-bang, there was absolutely nothing - not even space and time.
Such concept is nonsense based on scientific logic and day to day experience. Furthermore it's a concept that even surpasses the concept of an uncreated infinite unending space-time continuum. It even surpasses the concept of an uncreated Being - God.
Something came from nothing is a concept that can't be quantified nor scientific - it's a fools gold so to speak.
On the other hand, an always existing space-time continuum allows one to arrive at many possibilities, even an uncreated being - God.
Rather than Nothing created Something, Something created something makes more logical sense.
Because the concept is logical and we know that it exist - life creates life, life imparts life. No scientific theories or studies can disprove this logic. It's a fact.
On the other hand "nothing can create something" can't be proven. You can't get something from nothing. It goes against the very principle of physical laws. In fact it goes against the very law that governed the material universe - the law of conservation.
Space/time alone can't be the ultimate source for on their own they are part of of what's out there. On their own they are just a "thing". On their own they have no power nor the ability to transform themselves (or itself) into something.
Otherwise you're left wih this concept:
Nothing created something.

Something brought Order From Chaos in our particular Universe . A Catalyst Initiated by a Higher Intelligence , Ergo , a Supreme Being.........
You lost me there spy66. How could E=mc2 appear after the "big-bang" when the origin of the "big-bang" is e=mc2?

Well, if he's gonna send folks to hell for not believing in him, it's only fair that he DO something to show us his existence and just why we should worship him.
