Present a BETTER worldview

[DiRNiS]

On the contrary; all the existing evidence points to the universe existing for all of time, since time started at the Big Bang.

Why can't God exists in the eternal past as well? I never said it couldn't, although there is no evidence for its existence, and all the existence of God does is create more questions. A far more elegant solution to dreaming up an all-powerful super-being is to make no assumptions and look at the evidence.

I think a super-natural being is something beyond the realm of scientific observation. And therefore, finding evidence of God is not a possible thing in the first place. That's why we can only depend on our reasoning, logic, and intuitive thinking to know the truth. So, that's the reason why I believe in a God even though I don't have any evidence for His existence.

... I guess that's what faith is all about, eh?

Unfortunately the questions surrounding the origins of life and the universe may not be answered in our lifetime :-( but because science has still not been able to find all the answers, we cannot automatically assume "god did it".

It may only be a matter of time until we find the answers to these questions. Humans used to think lightning, rain, earthquakes and other natural phenomena were being generated by gods until science (in this case geology and meteorology) found the reason for them. I think it will be the same type of scenario with the origins of the universe and life.

BTW, even if the universe had a divine origin, what makes you think it was the particular god you happen to believe in? For all we know, it could have been the Flying Spaghetti Monster or the Invisible Pink Unicorn or an Invisible Magic Wizard with the body of a horse and the head of a snake. Or perhaps it wasn't just one deity, but a number of deities, maybe the three beings I mentioned got together and each created one part of the universe. All of these explanations are about as "valid" as "YHWH or Allah did it". I cannot prove any of them wrong, but just because they cannot be disproved does not make them true.
