Cinjin,

You do understand that your christian 'friend' (pub patron; whatever) did not ascribe to your definition of god. Without this understanding, why the confusion over the term belief?

The term believe has been hijacked. It has been stripped of any meaning proposing the requirement of evidence. It is now synonymous with 'faith' in common usage.

If you want to call pre big bang 'god', so be it. I'm comfortable with saying 'I don't know'...yet. The real issue you're wrestling with is the definition of 'god', not believe.
