Christians, you must be lazy thinkers
Who made God? If you can accept God not having a beginning than you should accept particles, energy, matter not having a beginning. Besides, particles have a better chance of not having a beginning than an invisible man

Yes, poof and that' s it.
But, you don't have to believe it, if you don't want to.

Lazy thinking, I'm not sold on that.
Who made God? Ask him.
But lets look at the universe, is it easier to believe that it just came to be without design or purpose. Can happen. An explosion doesn't create design but chaos. Design is not by mistake, from the atom to single cell creatures to man and beyond all exist by design.
It is like looking at a building and just because we were not there when it was built then there must not be a builder. We didn't see the plans, we didn't see the materials, we didn't see the workers in action. Therefore there is no builder. Yet that is what we are willing to accept when it comes to creation. We are willing to accept that there is no creator when it comes to creation yet we accept a builder that we never see.
Why does God have to be a magical being and just poof everything came into existence, or would this creator not use the building blocks of science to begin creation. Why would this be out of reach? It isn't, its real.
Just as the build of the building is real so is the creator.

I, as a Catholic, probably know more about Big Bang cosmology than you do.
And yes - as a matter of fact - the origin of the universe was pretty close to a "poof"; a nanosecond or two after the initial scalar field, twenty quantum string or twistor dimensions folded in on themselves, and a universe not at all unlike the one we know, with the same laws of physics, already existed. Even the irregular lumps in the initial hydrogen clouds that formed mirror the galaxy clusters that still exist today, as evidenced by the CBR (cosmic background radiation.)
And yes - the science on it is absolutely and unequivocally clear - all matter originated: all of it. Not a single atom in existence predates the Big Bang, and any assertion otherwise would find one laughed at by any serious physicist.
God, on the other hand, would not need a beginning. Time is a property of the universe and does not predate it. If the source of the universe is an extra-universal deity, he would not be bound by temporal concepts as "beginning." Having neither a yesterday or tomorrow, the term would be meaningless in relation to him.

Christian theology is dangerous. Most theology is dangerous. If there was a God he would laugh at the world's delusions. If matter exists,and we don't doubt that, then anti-matter exists, which has been proven, just not contained. A person of faith could argue that God is like anti-matter, we know it's there, but we could never see it. The deeper questions of faith are not based on the beginnings of things, but rather the end of things. So really, why ask this question, and even more importantly, why ask it to a people suffering from delusion. That just isn't fair. In fact it's mean.

God had no beginning because he transcends time. He is eternal. He is outside of time. He created time. The universe does not transcend time. It had a beginning. The multiverse theory does not explain this away. The multiverse would still need a beginning because it exists within time.
That is why God had no creator but the universe did. Now why do you call me a lazy thinker?

Christians believe that complicated systems can only come from a god simply farting the universe into existence and somehow think that makes more sense than a universe taking many billions of years to establish order out of chaos. No wonder we don't allow them in our schools.

I'm not sure God said 'poof', but the rest of your reasoning is sound. A limitless God should not be limited. He can make something out of nothing - but He's the only One who can.

If there is a god.
People talk like its a person of will.
If there is such a thing as god it a force of nature.. not something to be worshiped.

Actually what really happened was god was arm wrestling with his roommate Steve, and then god farted and that's how the universe was created.

I don't want a simple answer; if God had made a more complex one, I'd accept it too. However, he gave a simple answer, so I'll accept what he says.
