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.

Yeah, I'm not sure about that one.

Freedom of choice? Perhaps we are nothing more than rats in Gods lab. Perhaps we are nothing AT ALL in the grand scheme of the universe.
Perhaps there is nothing after death, ever think of that?
The only way anybody will find out is once they die, and an afterlife is proven. If there is no afterlife, you'll never know.
Comforting thought eh?

I was talking to Pandaemonium there. But I suppose it also applies to your questions.
If he was omnipotent then he would know everything and be all powerful. So the question of how did he know how to create stuff wouldn't really be valid as he would have invented "stuff".
As for born, once again you have to think outside of the constraints of time. As humans we have a beginning and an end, as does everything else in our universe. But something outside of that universe wouldn't be restricted to those laws of time.

people are always discovering new things about science. When the electron was discovered it completely changed many majour scientific theories and produced many new ones. The discovery of DNA is another example. We will probably never fully understand everything about the world because it is so complex.
Its these complexities that make me think it is near imposible for it to have all came from nothing. i.e believing in God

I dont think that you can just write off god's birth by saying he is a universal constant.

But why *shouldn't* it be that way? Why should a supposedly all powerful being have snapped it's fingers (or whatever appendage it has) and said "This is the way it will be!"?

Why not? Belief is belief. No-one can physically prove that such a being exists.

You said it yourself, a belief is a belief.
It makes more sense to me that an omnipitent God carefully crafted the world rather than it just all happening by accident. The world is too complex to be an accident.
If you leave the ingredients for a cake lined up in your kitchen with the gas on for an hour then walk back in with a lit match i doubt you will end up with a perfect cake.

But that is thinking in purely human terms. The universe *is*. Its as simple as that. Our life is a mixture of chemical reactions and coincidence. A theory is that life arrived on this planet via a comet. Is God involved in that? If you take it to extremes then the garden of Eden comes into question, and evolution and the like.
I personally do not believe in "God", but do believe there is a force shaping the universe, but it is in NO terms that we can describe adequately.

This is so asking for it...
