I think that not believing on one account of the origin of the world doesn't necessarily imply unity on what account to follow, but if I had to hazard a guess on what most Icelanders accept the scientific consensus on origins where there is one, and are okay with 'not yet known' if there isn't.

What do you think?

What Godlike characteristic?

Is a static block universe that is supportable by science Godlike?

Infinity is a characteristic of God.

I agree with what you said.  Science's answer is "maybe this, but we don't really know."  This is not a reason to believe in God, but it is a good reason to realize how much we don't know and to be open to many possibilities for an explanation.

I really do get tired of this argument.

Why would a super cognition be required either way? You assume one is required.

I could care less if "all this" came out of nothing, or was the result of the death of something prior. I don't think either case requires Willy Wonka.

If you don't care that's fine for you Brian.  My comments are for those who come to this forum because they're searching for answers.

Infinity is a characteristic of God.

Infinity may also be a characteristic of this world. Your pet god does not have a monopoly on infinity.

I'm just happy to see an atheist can consider infinity in anything.

Why?

There are atheists of all stripes. Same with Christians, some of whom don't believe that infinity can be a thing not even with God. Ask SteveII and Roadrunner.
