The existence of God

Thank you, and I agree this will be some entertaining debate! Your main argument seems to be that if God always existed, then what created him? First off, I disagree that it makes no difference if God exists if we can't prove where he came from. If we can prove that God exists, then it won't matter where he came from and here is why: Both atheists and religious people agree that there was something in existence that led to the creation of the universe. The only difference is that atheists believe that it occurred naturally by a series of perfect coincidence whilst others believe that it was caused by an intelligent being. If I have to prove where God came from, you will have to prove where the first thing that created the universe came from, and it can't be "ever-existing" or intelligent because that would be God, and it can't be a "random explosion that led to the universe" because what was there before this explosion? Also, God is not bound by the limits of time nor reality. He exists in a completely different way than we do. It only makes sense that there was an intelligent being behind the creation of the universe. Would you believe me if I told you that in somewhere in the middle of the Sahara desert, there was a strong storm that kicked up the sand, tossed it around, and then settled a perfect amount on a hard surface, then after a few years and a lot of lightning strikes that sand turned into glass (because sand+lightning/heat=glass) and since they have some petroleum that was brought up to the surface of the Earth that was also struck by lightning and made silicon, and over millions, even billions of years, that silicon battery and the glass screen and also the plastic casing (also from petroleum) came together and created the perfect mobile phone? No, and you will tell me that I'm a fool for thinking that. Similarly, it is illogical to think that the universe created itself coincidentally. Now that I got that out of the way, I will address an issue atheists in general (not necessarily you, but to close the gap) bring up: They say religion contradicts science. My answer to that is simple: Not all religions contradict science, and what we know to be contradicted is mainly theories and could turn out wrong. Statistically, science is not a reliable thing to trust in because it is always changing. We used to think that the Earth is flat, then we discovered that it was round. We used to think many things about the atom that turned out to be completely false. You will tell me that we have exact proof that we're right, but that is exactly what was said by ALL the scientists before. They even reached a time when they thought they knew everything. Now, with the advancement of science, we know that what we know is so little and that no matter how much we try there is no way we will know everything there is to know. The large hadron particle collider experiment finally concluded that we know at most 4% of the universe. This entire universe that has trillions of stars, planets, and stretches for trillions of light years, and also keeps expanding, is made mostly of things we do not yet know how to measure and do not fully understand, like dark matter. Science is nowhere near knowing everything, so I don't think it would be logical to believe in science (which is mainly what atheists do). I'm not saying to ditch science. We should still pursue knowledge and yes trust in facts that we can observe, but know that it is not final and could be disproven later. Back to my argument that not all religions contradict science, an example is Islam. The Quran, which is the religious book of Islam, is full of scientific miracles. Astrophysicists today unanimously agree that stars and planets are formed from nebulae, which are a mix of gas and dust, basically a smoke-like material. The Quran says that "He [God] turned to the heavens when it was 'smoke'" (41:11) and in another part says that "the heavens and the earth were one connected entity, then We separated them" (21:30). Dr. Alfred Kroner, a world renowned geologist and a professor at Johannes Gutenberg University in Germany said that, "Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics fourteen hundred years ago could not, I think, be in a position to find out from his own mind, for instance, that the earth and the heavens had the same origin". The Quran also talks about the formation of an embryo, and details the steps exactly of how it is formed. Fourteen centuries ago, they had no way to see those fetuses let alone accurately describe their shape. It also describes the mountains as "pegs" that are deeply rooted in the ground, and only with modern geological technology, we discovered that mountains have a very deep foundation and go very deeply in the ground. The Quran also talks about a barrier between oceans and other oceans and other barriers between rivers and seas. Modern technology allowed us to measure temperature differences and salinity differences at the borders between oceans and see visible barriers between them. That, also, was impossible to measure with their technology. The Quran also talks about how clouds are formed, how the cerebellum is responsible for decision-making, and also that iron was "sent down" to the Earth as opposed to forming there, which was recently found to be true. Therefore, religion does not contradict science.
