If "God" exists and created everything, why does nothing exist that cannot be explained by another method?

Albert Einstein stated something along the lines of; "There may not be a single history (regarding the earth coming into existence) as we may have supposed. Rather, every possible history with some probability." Or in other words, there are many possible ways to explain the fact that we are here and living right now. Some of those ideas are more probable than others and some explanations are more likely than others. Bottom line is, when a hypothesis is brought forth and has physical evidence to support itself without being intelligently refuted, the hypothesis becomes theory. Only those unwilling to explore the realm of possibility close their minds to the many other intelligent theories concerning our existence which can be found in the world today.

Don't have to do anything. God never existed in the first place.

your right, i actually cant explain it very well. I'm not defensive, i just want you to read this \n\n\nhttp://everystudent.com/features/isthere.html?OVRAW=God%20existence&OVKEY=existence%20of%20god&OVMTC=standard\n\n\nit has overwhelming info that should help you see that there has to be a God, because this world is no accident

The most simple and logical explanation, based on all currently available evidence, is that the universe has always existed in some form.\n\nAnd, it is only logical to conclude there are other universes, as well.\n\nThere is no logical reason whatsoever to invoke magic or invent a non-existent "creation" when there is no evidence or reason to support such an idea.

There are three possibilities.\n\n1) There is an almighty, omniscient power (aka God) that created the entire universe.  Somehow it loves and cherishes all life, but is so petty that it performs miracles based on how much time you spent praying to it instead of on how much you really need the help.\n\n2) There is a being or group of beings (aka aliens) that did not create the universe, but tried to influence the development of life on earth by introducing religion that would worship them as God.\n\n3) When primitive humans couldn't explain why things in nature happened, they invented religion to do so.  God is an illusion.\n\nI would consider option 3 to be the most likely, with option 2 as a very remote possibility.  Option 1 is laughable.

Indeed there is a God. Let's face it, something cannot come from nothing.

The idea of 'a god' cannot be disproved.  Because a god doesn't necessarily exist in a physical sense or impact on anything in a measurable way, there's no way it can be shown that one doesn't exist.\nThe Christian/Jewish/Islamic God as described in their holy books can be shown through evidence to not exist, as these religions are wrong about the creation of both the earth and life.  There is scientific evidence to support this, in the theory of evolution by natural selection, the Big Bang, abiogenesis and various other scientific theories which are inconsistent with those religions.

I don't believe I would try to prove God exists. \nSometimes, even with proof, people disbelieve what stands before them. Rather, it seems you may be asking for a reason to have faith. Faith comes without proof... otherwise, it's not faith.\n<warm hugs>

He does exist!  There's no other explanation that doesn't contradict it's self.  I'm a believer in Christ, but a lot of people are skeptic.  If you do your research, you'll find outstanding proof that God exists!

It takes more faith to believe that there is no GOD then it does to believe that there is a GOD... If someone is reasonable they must admit there are only two ways that the universe could have came into existance. Either it was all created by an all powerful, all knowing GOD, or it just created itself for nothing and by nothing... I'm no math wizard but I do know that nothing + nothing = nothing and GOD + nothing = everything...

God is everything and everything is God … the world is either identical with God or in some way a self-expression of his nature.\n\nEverything that exists constitutes a "unity" and this all-inclusive unity is in some sense divine.\n\nEvery existing entity is, only one Being; and that all other forms of reality are either modes (or appearances) of it or identical with it.\n\n\nYou are evidence that there is hope for mankind yet.  \nPeace and Love Be w/ You as You Tread On Your Path to Enlightenment

Gremlin I have contemplated this question for many years. The conclusion I have come to is this. For the Universe to exist today one of two things that we deem to be impossible has to have happened. Either something materialized from nothing, or something always was. At that point that we call "the beginning" one of those two things was fact. Which one, we may never know. So for me, "In the beginning God created" is as good an explanation as any. It cannot be proved or disproved. Perhaps it may be stated that in the beginning God said "BANG!!!". Perhaps God's previous job was just being an idea. Perhaps it was being the Idea (logos). Then the idea exploded into being, and God said "BANG".

:}  No one can know anything for a fact beyond any doubt..\n\nEven our very senses fool us. There are dreams and mirages. We’ve all thought we heard saw or smelled something that was inaccurate.\n\nThoreau in Walden Pond, Presented the idea that we could know that we exist because if we did not we could not question whether we did or not.\n\nHaving established that nothing, beyond perhaps our own existence, can be established with absolute certainty, we must proceed to behave as if those things for which there is significant evidence, in fact exist and work as the evidence would suggest they do.\n\nWhile this procedure at times will lead to error, for the most part it is necessary to pursue this line of reasoning, called inductive logic, if we are to conduct normal life functions.\n\nIs there a god?  I use the same process. So for my purposes Yes, as far as my data goes in allowing  me to analyze the information, the preponderance of evidence suggest that God is a certain fact.  \n\nThen using the scientific method it simply remains to see if the predictions I make based on this hypothesis come to be\n\nAnd they have.\n\nI'm 100% sure \n\n\n\nOne additional fact \nMy salvation depends less on my faith than on his faithfulness!

God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to.\nread this: http://www.toykeeper.net/philosophy/knowledge

a straight answer? God wasn't created. He has just always been (existed). He is the author of all life, so He can't be created by anthing else.

You can just add details to your question, so people can see what you're talking about.\n\nAnd also, as I said in my other post, if you can believe that god came from nothing why can't others believe that something else has just always been?
