Now, I'm not respecting the negative comments I am receiving. Nowhere in my questions did I say that "God did it".
And then people are telling me to stop making broad claims etc. But, how is my claim any broader than yours if I am making no claim? I am just saying that we don't understand the universe. So the possibilites are endless. The POSSIBILITY OF A HIGHER BEING IS THERE.
At no time did I say "Well since there's so many possiblites, I'm just going to go ahead and say God did it" Please do not answer my questions if you are not going to say something sensible.
Now, people are telling me to research blah blah blah. But not even scientists can solidly explain 1. How was matter created to cause the big bang THEORY. 2. Since the universe is so complex what eliminates the idea of a higher being?
Please do not tell me to go research or something because the last time I checked the big bang is still a theory. And so is evolution for the most part.

I mean sure you can show me stuff from recent studies but anyone can go do that. How did it all BEGIN. If you can't give me a beginning you can't give me an end.
Discuss ^_^.

I see rhetorical questions but no real question. What is your question?

The reason people are telling you to do research is for your own benefit. They don't want you to say things that show your ignorance. When you say "the big bang is still a theory" I hear "I am ignorant to science and how it works".
As far as your more broad statements about God and the universe...these are based on beliefs, so you are open to have them. As far as your question about where the matter came from, yes scientists can't explain that. But that is no reason to assume a God created it. To me, it means that we have a lot more to learn. Also, where did God come from?
Scientifically, there has been no evidence to say that God exists, and no evidence to say it doesn't. This leaves it all up to personal opinion. But I would assume that other statements you make are causing the "do research" answers.

Considering that science and math prove the existence of infinity, how can one go back to the beginning to show what happened? With infinity, there technically is no beginning. The Bible indicates that God is infinite and has been around since, well, for lack of a better description, the beginning. The Bible would be the starting place, but I became a Christian by questioning. Being a Christian does not mean you stop questioning, it just gives us a starting point! And yes, sometimes the answer is God did it, but it is also ok to say "I don't know". But when I meet God as promised in the Bible, I have a heck of alot of questions for Him.....lol

1- Yes M Theory does. But besides that: Science never claimed that the matter wasn't always here. It is more reasonable to say that than to say that God was always here AND he made it from nothing which is EXACTLY what the Bible says. The claim is a religious one not a scientific one, so I'm glad you see it my way. You can't make something from nothing.
2- Saying that something complex requires a more complex creator is just illogical because things could never be complex enough. Very complex structures like snowflakes and crystals happen all the time all on their own.
Added: I would add that trying to say a god made it still tells you nothing about where it began. All you did was add a step.

To say that nothing could've existed because nothing made it exist is paradoxical self-nullifying reasoning;" we are here" means "we came from somewhere/something". Rational logic. Now, it's simply mathematics.
Does the Evolutionary - Big Bang Universe Theory have as many Pro's as Divine Creation Theorism has proofs? If you compare the supportive evidence based on fact (not theory) you find that there is much more evidence for Divine Creationism...just on the fulfillment of Bible prophecy alone...than there is for Evolutionary - Big Bang Theory Creation .
The Book "How did We Get Here _ Evolution or Creation" has many scientific, geological, and chronological proofs that illustrate this fact.

this sums it up nicely:
christians think that everything that we can't explain is god.
atheists think that whatever we cant explain, there is a logical reason for, we as a people just haven't come up with it yet. And so far, atheists have been right. Lots of the things thet inspired religious awe five hundred years ago are now no more than common science. In another five hundred years, we will probably know the answers to almost all of life's mysteries, and yet there will still be those who claim that everything else is god.

No need to waste time and energy studying and getting an education dear. Just remain lazy and ignorant and say that God did it. It absolutely acceptable, especially in a large part of the USA where public schools and education are considered useless. You can even get a job as guide in the creationist museum.
Enjoy.

Here is your anwers:
If there is a higher being who created the universe then we know nothing about he or it. All that we have are thousands of religions that have been invented since the begining of mankind. What does this mean? this means that we must forget about all current geuses about the higher being and admit that we know nothing about it.
This means that you have to stop thinking about "God" as a human being since it was only someone no smarter than yourself who invented that concept of god.
For all you know, if a higher being exist then he doesn't represent Human beings, nor does he probably think about human problems or emotions. He would be fair to all living and non living things.
God = the Random universe.

There's also the possibility of a three-humped camel wearing blue and green Chuck Taylors chanting Irish mantras on the dark side of Pluto...
But that's yet to be proved by fail-proof and irrefutable evidence, same as your fairy-tale god.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

A 'higher being' contradicts everything we know about how the universe works. Not even a simple bacterium could exist without *something* being responsible for its existence... so the idea that a super-intelligent entity, capable of designing and creating an entire universe, just exists from nowhere and from nothing, is clearly arrant nonsense.
