' He always was, always is, and always will be God. He has been around since before time began, for he was the one who created time. It's a mystery of faith.'

Why do you christians believe that an omnipresent, omnipowerful being can just exist without a cause but can't accept that a relstively simple object like an atom can't?

People ask how matter was created. The most basic form of matter is an atom. Everything is constructed using these basic building blocks. Can you compare the existence of an atom to the existence of something so complex as a god?

I suppose it could. I guess that people see the difference, though, in the separate natures of the two. An atom is physical, and God is not. People find it easier to believe in the perpetual existance of something non-physical than in the perpetual existance of something physical - especially when they can see how the physical object grew and evolved. If you can see something (like the Universe) grow, you want to know how it began. You question its origins a lot more. God doesn't evolve, or at least no one claims that He does. It's easier to accept something as perpetual if it never shows signs of change.
