For anyone who believes in god?

Question

How is it more believeable for you to think that god was always just there since the beginning of time than it is for you to think that all of the mater in the universe was just there since the beginning of time?

Everything in the bible except for the existance of god and the creation of the universe can be explaiend scientifically. How is it better to think that an all powerful spirit was there since the beginning of time? it leaves more unanswered questions than just asuming that all of the mater in the universe has been here since the beginning of time.

i dont think you guys understand what im talking about... for an all powerful god unrestricted by time and space to exist, he had to come from somewhere just as all of the mater in the universe did. why is it more believeable for a god to have created everything when it goes against everything man has ever learned about how the universe works. if the big bang is impossible according to creationists, then how is it possible for god to exist if he had to come from nothing just as did all of the mater in the universe today?

Answer 1

I agree with what you're saying. Really, if you take a moment to just realize the enormous size of the universe, it just doesn't make sense that there's a deity up above who actually cares about the affairs of one species on one planet in one solar system in one galaxy out of billions and billions and billions of galaxies. Religion tries to convince people that we're actually important in the broad scope of things; really, how significant are we? Not very.

Answer 2

Who are you to question the lord of the universe? Is God not matter? When was the beginning of time? How could time start without someone starting it? Is it more believeable that out of all the millions and billions of things that had to go exactly right to make a planet that could be inhabited by a human just happend by chance? My point here is, you and I are humans, God is more knowlegable than we are, becuase since Adam and Eve sinned we have been spiritually disabled. Do you belive that a man can be possessed? What is the scientific explanation for a man speaking the word of god in a language they have never learned before? Why were their once 10 tribes of Hebrews, and it was prophisied that God would preserve one tribe, the tribe of Judah until the end of the world, and now their is only one tribe of Herbrews left... the jews we know today? Sbhow be the scientific evidence that a virgin can give birth to a son without the help of God. How can a man who was crusifide and was dead for three days rise from the dead, speak to others, walk on the earth, and ascend into heaven? How can the "big bang theory" be proven? The truth is that you don't know. You can never prove that the wolrd was created by a son exploding. But you will see that Jehova created the universe. You will bow down before God and confess to him all that you have done.

Do you know the risk you are taking by not believing in God? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by believing in jesus, and everything to lose for not having faith.

Answer 3

We are humans. We also are incapable of understanding the concept of infinity, both on a micro scale or a macro scale. Though it can not be proven that there is a God, it also can not be proven that there is'nt a God.
If we can supposedly accept the mathematical concepts of other dimensions, why can we not accept the possibility of a Supreme Being? If we are just an "accident" then what's the point of living, procreating, morals, etc. Would the universe miss us if the Earth blew up completely?
I find it harder to grasp the concept of "nothing" after death. Even if it's for my comfort, I believe in something more to just living and dying.
Try this hypothetical experiment. Suppose you have a giant bowl. You throw in lumber, concrete, nails, glass, etc. In other words, everything you need to build a nice home. You then shake and spin this bowl. You hit it with lightning, heat, cold, water, radiation, etc. You do this for millions of years. Do you think you'll ever have a fully built house from this? I think not. Now think of the complex nature of DNA? Accident? Something to about!

Answer 4

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

We created God and brought him into being, then he in turn created us. If you study quantum physics and the nature of time, you find that everything is connected to everything else, and that you can influence the past as well as the future. Time is really an illusion, however, which begs the question, which came first God or the universe?

Doesn't this stuff just drive you nuts? ;-)

Answer 5

There are 2 problems with your question.

1. If there is a God, then time is a creation of God and hence God is beyond time, so that part of your question is meaningless

2. Science cannot explain from where the energy came to fuel the Big Bang. Current cosmological theory relies on a ex nihilo origin as well as they state of the universe is undefinable at t index = 0.

Answer 6

Most scientists don't believe that all matter was just there - they believe it came from somewhere and use the expansion of the universe to point to an event that created everything (sometimes called the Big Bang theory).

It is easy to believe that God was always there if you realize that an all powerful God is not restricted by time and space. We, as finite beings, see time and space as barriers that we cannot cross. God, however, created time and space and is not bound by His own creation.

Answer 7

Place nine dots on a blank piece of paper. Connect all nine dot's with four straight lines without retracing over any line or lifting your writing implement from the paper. You assume that He who created is subject to the same rules as that which He created. Is Steven Spielberg subject to his movie "1941" (does that define him?) or is Leonardo defined by the Mona Lisa, do you define who and what your parents are or have done? What is really at issue is whether you want to believe or you don't and why. Answer the why and the rest will fall in line. If you point a finger of blame, are not three looking you in the face?

Answer 8

I am 67 yrs old. I met millions of people in my life. Most are dreaming of pay day, some dream of a new car. some dream of love. And that is OK with me.. Why do so many people worry so much, so long about what I dream for. My dream is when I die I will go to a nice place and live on.. Tell me how and why that bothers you. Can't you find a lost dog to pet? or a cripple person to help across the street. you can believe when you die it is all over for ever if you want to... I have no problem with that.

Answer 9

I can understand the Atheist idea that all matter is eternal. I am glad you understand our contention that God has always been there. Every time someone on answers has asked "who created God" I come up with this same argument.
So everything can be accounted for with science? How is the chirality of proteins and DNA handled? Jim

Answer 10

This is neither a new nor original question. It is as old as God himself I suppose. No one ever seems to give or receive an answer that is satisfactory to everyone, so the best thing to do is to either choose to believe or not. Neither side seems willing to budge on their opinion so it should simply be a question that is best left alone and something else should be used as a litmus test for compatibility. In other words we should just agree to disagree on this point and move on.
