God always was and always will be. The problem is that this argument is taken from the realm of human mortality and its limitations, not immortality and the power of the divine. God never had a beginning and will never have an end.
I agree that dust just wasn't suddenly there, but you CAN create heaver elements out of lighter ones,
Then where did the heavier element come from? A heavier one and on it goes. It came from something. Even if you subscribe to the "Big Bang" Theory where did the matter come from? It was always there? Why can that be believed but the existance of God cannot?
I'd be willing to bet a significant amount that I know a lot more about your faith and the history of it than you do about the Big Bang theory or any other theories about the creation/destruction of the universe.
You know the history of a Theory? A theory is unproven fact. Its conjecture based on slim evidence, which is why its the Theory of Evolution not the Fact of Evolution. So you know alot about conjecture. God has revealed himself through numberous men and through his son Jesus Christ. There are more books written on Christ alone then the Big Bang and Evolution put together. Since you do not know Christ, you cannot possibly know more than I!
My experience is first hand, I attended Sunday school for about a year as a child. did the weekly English reading at our church's Saturday evening mass for a time when I was a little older than that.
A whole year? What where you? Training to be a Pope? Just kidding. Anyone can read. It takes more than just reading the bible. You choose not to believe the word of God, Free will baby! His greatest gift, and your unfortuniately your potential greatest loss.
Scientists are much more cautious to argue that we are alone in the universe (which is an open question, with exactly one data point), let alone the most advanced or intelligent species in the universe.
Same ones that invented Global Warming? What truly do they Not a slam against you, but true enlightenment comes from the word of God. Its existed for thousands of years and has yet to be proven wrong. Read The Case For Christ Written by an athiest lawyer seeking to prove Christ was not the son of God, and in his failing became enlightened! Good Luck FRiend!
So you believe.

It's called nuclear fusion baby! A process that we utilize each and every single day. It produces much of the energy used by plant life, and therefore a significant quantity of the energy used by animal life (humans included). As for the big bang theory, when we start getting into things like dark matter and dark energy, well...it gets complicated. But because of the nature of the universe we can't see to the big bang (only the background radiation left over from it) or through the big bang, so there's no way of knowing when/how it happened or what existed before.

A theory is what best fits the facts as currently known. It's not conjecture based on slim evidence (that would be a hypothesis, but I wouldn't use the word conjecture). I'd like to see those numbers if you please. I would argue that the subject is the same, whether you're talking God or a non-theistic view of the creation of the universe. And the last sentence is pure hubris, nothing more.

Global warming, and anthropogenic global warming are two different animals. The world warms and cools naturally, we have little to no discernible affect on it. As far as enlightenment, God has stopped creating, man will continue to for the foreseeable future.

LOL.
I have heard of the Theory of Gravity, but I don’t recall reading about the Fact of Gravity in any science textbook I ever encountered.
And you’re gonna get in trouble with Coyoteman when you demonstrate a complete lack of understanding in how ordinary language and scientific jargon treat the word ‘theory’ very differently.
To attempt to discredit evolutionary scientists and the science they perform based on the global warming crowd is a logical fallacy of the most transparent sort.
