Some of you christians say that god has always been, but if that is the case, does that mean, at one point in time, he just 'decided' to create the universe spontaniously?

'NOTHING COMING FROM NOTHING'
Wow, great jew, well done. You've proven by your own definition that God does not exist.

Could be, or maybe he took a little time, maybe a billion years, or a trillion years. How could we who have know idea of the greatness and power of God have any idea when or how he decided to create the universe.
God could have created it fifty times over and recreatred it again. or he could have done it on a whim.
I am not sure of the reason for the question but look at the creation instead of questioning it for a moment. Look at simple thing like gravity, one of the smallest forces in the universes. If our gravity was changed by 1/10000% we could not have life on earth. Look at our bodies, we have irreducably complex machines within it that move thing around in us that can't be explained by evolution. Look at the fact that we have searched the universe with eveything from telescopes to radio anteane and found no other life.
Read "A Case For a Creator" by Lee Stroble, he was an atheist and a reporter for many years and investigated this stuff. It changed his life and he believed because of the science behind creation and lack of real science behind evolution and the big bang.
Look around you and stop believing what all the scientist at the liberal colleges teach, they have faith in theories that can't be proven or have been disproven. I truely believe if Darwin was around today and could look at what we know about DNA , Amino acids and what has shown up about the cambrian explosion and other factors he would take it all back and have faith in God.
Good luck and I hope you have an open mind and read the book, it not as good as the Good Book but it is enlightening.

That is something your little infinite mind will not be able to comprehend. Everyone try to dis-prove God, By saying how can God make something out of nothing, To you athesits, If there is no God, Then what did nothing use to make nothing, some how we got here, & some how your so call evolution got here, & if you don't think so, Take a little needle & stick your finger, Surely that won't hurt since You claim Nothing made nothing & we are not really here, But now if God Created us, That is a different story, Come back when you have an answer. I would like to know did it HURT when you stuck yourself with that needle.

I'm not religious, but I would answer this question the say way a religious person would.
We can have No Knowledge of God's actions BEFORE he created the Universe. (similarly, people who believe in the Big Bang can't possibly imagine what happened BEFORE that even occurred.)
Belief in God requires Faith. You are asking religious folk to ignore Faith and to look for rational evidence. The two exclude each other.
By the way, not Only Christians believe God created the world. Why aren't you asking Muslims or Jewish folk this question?

He did create the universe at just the right time. God has existed since eternity past. The word "spontaneously" infers that He decided on a whim, which would not be correct. God is not impulsive.

Many people cannot grasp a sense of beginning. For if you point to the fence, they ask what is beyond the fence. If you point to the sky they ask how far does the sky go. Not many people can comprehend infinite, and not many people should. Many people also do not know what they are talking about when they speak of 'god' as an entity.

Pretty much, yes. I'm sure He had His reasons. Probably in relation with the fall of Lucifer & 1/3 of the heavenly hosts.

Revelations 1:8
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."

I believe that would be correct, but Scripture (the word of YHVH) is addressed to the questions of this world, and does not go into great depth on these theoretical questions.

No. Time was created with the universe.
This is both Christian thinking (St. Augustine) and modern science (Hawking). The problem is that our reasoning works using time as a concept (Kant), so we can't handle concepts outside of time.
In other words "Your puny human mind will never understand it! Mmmmmwwwwhahahahahahaha!"
