we cannot truly understand infinity

And I'd prefer it if you didn't come back with a one liner 'What created God?'

that's so absurd

God was "triggered" by man who was overwhelmed by his own mortality.

And we forgive."

See George Carlin's religion skit for my opinion on the matter

The abstract idea of god. Some people believe that...I don't know if I do or not. If there is a god there are so many things that have been left unanswered, and I am unable to have faith through my hope that there is a god. I can understand agnostic sorta, but organized religion is just...eh.

Agnostic cop-out FTW.

How can an infinite being of any sorts exist? Can you elaborate on how an infinite number of events could've already passed?

I believe there is no god. I think the Buddhist story of how the universe was created was the most accurate, how it was birthed from a seed. Basically that's my philosophy on everything, that we are all one.

When the universe started off after the Big Bang there were only two elements, Hydrogen and Helium. After the universe stopped being a sort of primordial soup, stars and galaxies started to form. Through a process called nucleosynthesis, elements were created. The inside of stars, which were Hydrogen, got so hot they created new elements. When the star dies, it implodes and sends the newly created element flying out into the heavens.

We are carbon based life forms. Eons ago, inside of some star, carbon was formed and was blasted through the universe. Eventually, life formed from this carbon substance. You could call us humans star dust if you wanted.

Everything that was, that is and will ever be came from that tiny infinitesimal singularity at the beginning of existence. Right now, everything is expanding, but soon the universe will collapse once again, until we are back at the starting point, that small, little singularity. And the process will repeat itself.

I sort of believe that everything in nature goes in cycles. Planets orbit in cycles. Seasons come and go in cycles. History repeats itself. Kurt Vonnegut summed it up best I think, when he wrote Slaughter-House Five, about the cyclical nature of time and the universe.

So it goes.
