How can someone believe that there is no god? Or, at least, some sort of being that exists outside of the dimensions we perceive? The universe had to come from somewhere. Even if you believe in the big bang, where did those materials come from? You can explain it with physics, but there's an unbreakable physical rule in the three-dimensional world that something can't come from nothing. "Well, the whole universe is a result of compressed matter expanding at a violent rate that started out as millions of tons of mass squeezed into the size of a grain of sand." Great. Where did it come from?
"Oh yeah? Well where did God come from?" It doesn't matter, because 1) God lives in other dimensions. Maybe one of the laws of one of the other dimensions is that you can create yourself. It doesn't matter. Which beings me to 2) We'll never be able to discern that, seeing as God's origins (the origins of whoever made everything in the third dimension) are in dimensions that are beyond our perception. We will never be able to perceive these dimensions no matter how hard we try. It's like trying to think of a new color or a new sense.
