Whenever I've asked someone (and read answers on this site) to the origin of God, religious people also say "He was always there", and that he wasn't created and is the "beginning."
Yet many religious people ridicule the notion of evolution and the Big Bang, validating their criticsms on the basis that the universe had to be created by something - there's no way it could've simply "been there."
My question, then, for religious people - if you can believe that God was always there, why is it impossible that the universe was always there as well? Why does the origin of God require no theoretical or "real" explanation whereas the origins of the universe do?

The universe is a visible and temporal thing. God is an invisible and eternal Spirit. God the Spirit always exists even before time began. The spiritual is greater than the natural and it is out of he spiritual that the natural things are created. There is plan and design in the universe which can only be created by a supernatural and intelligent being greater than the universe and this being is God. Such complexity, beauty and creativity in the universe, existence of life and intelligence in humankind cannot exist without a source that gives life and intelligence which is God.

Well I find evolution as something real and God too. I see the big bang as a possiblity and a very likely answer. Anyway I do think the universe was created by some crazy **** thing that happened way back when. I really don't need any real explanation for either my God or my thoughts on how the universe started and is expanding.
