What would be the nature of the above 'something'? in other words, is it a whole something? a lot of things together? something out of our imagination? etc.
All the religious beliefs we have been exposed to so far in our lives, is that the only argument for God's existence? can there be other explanations?
does the existence of God need to metaphysical if He exists?
What would make us believe in God?
What is God, as far as you have heard so far in your life and how does He communicate with us?
...I have more questions, but let's start with answering these first.
1) Laurence Krauss wrote a really good book called "A Universe from Nothing". It's confusing as hell, but I'd recommend it.
2) I don't know. Maybe a "primeval atom".
3) There are a lot of arguments for god's existence. They're all flawed.
4) Probably not. But I don't know.
5) Empirical, testable, repeatable, falsifiable, peer-reviewed evidence.
6) A product of humanity's fear of death and need to explain things.
