How many people here believe in God?

If you do, can you also explain what kind of entity you see God as.

Personally I am an atheist, but I like to hear religous people's views.

Well time is relative. It doesnt just keep going at a constant rate the way most people think it does, but i dont fully understant this myself so i'll just stop now.

Perhaps God (if it exists) manifests outside of our physical universe.

If you think that way then you don't get to ponder the wonder that is the big universe questions. Theories weren't made with that kind of thinking...tut tut.

One of the things that I learnt at uni was that of the 4 dimensions, time is the only one using real numbers on its axis. The other 3 (the spacial axis) all use complex numbers on their axis.

So it is all 3 "normal" dimensions which are human inventions.

I also remember seeing the whole lecture theatre stare in disbelief.

The theory of tachyon's?

I don't fully understand these so I'll stop now. I'm just trying to point out that we do not know everything there is to know about our universe.

What would happen if someone discovered something that turned our current way of thinking about physics completely on its head?

Scary thought......

Its hard to get your head around. You need to realise that God was never created, he's just always been there but not for a set lenght of time or in a particular place because time and space didnt exist. He is outside of the universe so to speak.

I believe in God. It doesn't mean I can't wonder about the universe. The way it all works is still interesting enough. Not to mention the fact that there is so much of the universe that we don't even know about yet.

But they are describing the forces involved in black holes to 11 dimensions now, and supposedly the maths are holding up. I'm getting out of my depth here, and my head is hurting, so I'm going to stop.

Why did God bother to create a big bang, why didn't he just create what he wanted. After the big bang, did science then take over, or did he carry on doing stuff? How did he know how to create stuff and why so many different elements? Was he born? So many questions...

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Wonderful...
