Let's say that everything must be created, and that was done by an omnipotent god. A god which stands above time, space, moral and existence, which is self containing and in it self has it's own cause. This entity can surely be replaced by the known world. The world stands above time, space, moral, existence, is self containing and in it has it's own meaning. Most theists agree that god has a nature. Then we must raise the question, who created god's nature? If we just accept that god has a nature and exists without a cause, why not say that the known world just is and that the laws of physics are what they are, without a cause?

piefkeholz....I never stated that god doesn't have a cause, i stated the opposite, but since your a christian i'm sure twisting words around and just plain making things up to get your way is nothing new

First two sentences I agree with.Sentence three has nothing to support it. Can't believe sentence four...........who says God has a nature and exists without a cause? why not say....? if you adopt the reasoning for saying why not say then you can claim and say anything without evidence to support it. ....God said He was the alpha and the omega...........God has a cause, He created you and I so that we might have fellowship with Him. God spoke the very world into existence, the laws of physics are the result of what God has created.

Who "hung the earth on nothing, and who supports it?" Science HAS proven the earth "hangs upon nothing", right?
As far as for the rest of your wandering drivel, go study Theology before you blather on about stuff you know absolutely nothing about but guess-work.

People "need" a God because of the human qualities they project upon him.

Metaphysics interfer with this premise, that's why. Energy transends both the tangible and the intangible.

IF God hadn't of created this world and all that are in it, we would not be here answering questions like this would we?

god is that concept we use to explain the unexplainable until science comes around and explains it.
