Often, when debating the merits of religion, I find that you reach an impasse:
Say that I was on the side of the Big Bang. People often say: "Where did the matter come from, what created the matter?" The implied answer is God, in case you didn't catch that.
I have tried, several times, to reply: "Well then, who created God?"
The answer is, invariably, "He was always there. He's God!"
So...if God could have always existed, why couldn't the matter? And, if the matter had to be created by God, who created God?
...obviously, once one of you decides to answer "X created God", I will respond, "Who created X?", but that's the point. I'm curious as to the reactions of the people who believe in God, more so than the reactions of those who don't, but either chipping in would be fine.
(This is also the test thread for the religion group - if you de-rail it too much, they'll get their own forum)
Have fun!
