How does common sense add up? If there was no God, nothing bigger than our common sense, then how did time begin? If time never began, then there are infinite years behind us, so how did we get here? How could any point in time have more behind it? That's beyond my common sense. I've seen too many atheist theories that depend on common sense. All math and science is an extension on common sense (hold up two fingers on each hand you get four is common sense, for example). I do feel I must admit, my accusation all rely on infinity, which mathematically doesn't exist (look at my other question), but don't allot of atheists rely on infinity? Just post your thoughts. Somehow, I bet I did something wrong. :P

Sry 'bout the double question. I messed up w/ the Back Button. Believe me, I didn't want to. I'd like to be level 2. This was said on the last one.
"Just for the record, theists have the same problem. Where did God come from? How is it that he existed forever? Makes no sense to my brain, I don't know about yours..."
The problem with this response is God theories aren't based on common sense. Therefore, I don't have to prove God with my common sense; I have to find different sources.

Believing in god is not common sense. Yes common sense is looking at your hand and saying "I have ten fingers!." But knowing if there is a god or i will say a "creator" is not. Honestly humans are not capable of explaining this kind of question. WE HAVE NO IDEA where we came from but we can make little guesses, the idea behind science is that we dont want to guess that there is a creator, we want factual evidence to prove that a creator exists.
What is time? A period of actions over and over, obviously this has existed forever and we cant conclude that the years behind us were created, maybe it wasnt created it was just there. We just cant ever know what happened unless god comes down to earth and tells us himself. So until then I will wait for factual evidence instead of a fictional assumption.

Common sense is neither common nor distributed enough to make sense.
We can only tell you up to the big bang. The previous universe we don't know about because the evidence of it is scattered all about now.

Your premise fails. Quantum physics and relativity throw common sense out the window, and they are essential in cosmology.

This won't be a quick question if you post it 30 times.

I'd answer, but you don't even know what a quick question is.
