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.

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.

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?

Yeah, I'm not sure about that one.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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......

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.

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.

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.
