"You did? When?" Part IV

We think we know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change its form right? So we really can’t have a true creation of the universe that is explained via physics. It had to have existed in some form to create the existing form. Using what we know about time, space, and matter then, we end up with an un-ending creating, and changing process. Something does not come from nothing. Even if you don’t believe at this point in a God of Creation you end up with a concept that of eternity. If you can accept the concept of eternity your eyes will open to many possibilities including that you have an eternal soul.

But you ask, If God created the universe, where did God come from? Keep in mind what we know about the Universe…It is temporal (temporary). Temporary and eternal are incompatible concepts unless one folds into the other. If God creates the universe, then the limitations of the universe do not bind God. A temporary universe can exist in eternity; and God, who is eternal, can create it without being bound by the limitations he places on it. Time does not bind God. Nothing needs to exist before eternity, because before, and after are abstract concepts useful only in the temporal sense (the temporal universe).
