I chose that option. If I were to get fired ( and I won't ), I think I'd take 6 months off, and get some rest.

What these guys as talking about? Loosing job? What if you loose your job in a booming economy? Who will you blame for that?
GOD wishes, He will provide food for all creatures that exists in the worlds.
He will provide the means for whom He wishes and He will prevent the means for whom He wishes.

Hear hear! Right now, I am exactly where God wants me to be. If He ever wants me somewhere else, He'll let me know.

I'm sure the bank will be perfectly OK when I tell them that a non-existant invisible supernatural being will give them their mortgage payment this month.
And the shops will just give me food for me and my family, because God will pay for it.
I admire your faith, but you're an idiot.

I admire your faith, StockportJambo.
The guy you called an idiot has faith that the universe was created out of nothing, by something (God). Further, that God is personal and involved with his creatures.
I think it takes more faith to believe that nothing created something (the universe) out of nothing.
That is why I admire your faith -- as I think you must have a great deal more.

If there was nothing where did the something (god) come from?

Nobody created the Sun, Earth, the whole Universe.
Who do you think created your god?
There are lots of videos on YouTube about lots of gods.

In Quran God Asked Us
" Say you, He is Allah(God), the one.
Allah(God) the Independent, Care free.
He begot none' nor was He begotten.
And nor anyone is equal to Him. "
we just see universe as much as Science told us. But Science is just like a technology that give solution about the problem.

I think this thread is diverting from it's original discussion.
kudoos to Nisamudeen & Wasimsharp.
Why don't you guys suggest another survey something like "God have created everything? a) Agree b) Disagree c) Tend to agree d) Tend to disagree e) Don't know."........etc..

Well, that is the position of the atheist. Unless the atheist believes in an eternal universe (which a scientific mind rejects based on the evidence) and buys off on the Big Bang, he must believe that the universe banged out of nothing with no cause. My point is that it takes more faith to be an atheist than a theist.

Who is saying the big bang had no cause? The only thing which some people believe exists which had no cause is a god or gods.

The atheist is.

Correct. With respect to "existence," "being," or "ontology" there are only two options:
1. You were uncaused (you didn't have a beginning)
2. You were caused by another (something else created you)
The Theist says God does not have a beginning and is uncaused while the universe had a beginning and needs a cause. If you don't have a beginning, you don't need a cause.
The Atheist says either the universe is uncaused or it was created out of nothing by nothing.
Sound good?

No atheist I know says that but then I don't know any ignorant atheists - the only people I know who do say it are theists as they desperately search for their god of the gaps.

Thanks for the generalization, but I think the theists make the most sense.
What is the atheists answer to the question, "Where did the universe come from?"
(Hint: "I don't know" is not a good answer)

Each to their own.
"God did it" just doesn't work for me.

Sorry, I think you answered some other question. Is that where you are leaving this? If so, I'm getting up to get some more coffee.

"I don't know" is the answer. And it's a perfectly valid answer. Don't tell me you have all the answers. When you don't know an answer to something, you say, "I don't know". And it's perfectly acceptable. Of course, if not knowing something makes you ashamed, then you can say "God did it", and you can pretend to sound really intelligent.
The truth is no one knows for sure about the origins of the universe, if there's such a thing. No one was there to witness it.
In my opinion, the answer to that question is the same as your answer to the question, "Where did God come from?" Your answer is, "He's always been there." If you can accept that God has always existed, why is it so difficult to accept that the Universe has always existed? It may not have always existed like it does today, but it's always been there in one form or another. Are you aware of the law of Conservation of Mass? It states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. What does that tell you about the universe?
Obama's plan gives me a $400 per year tax cut.
McCain's plan gives me a $80 per year tax cut.
Would rather be one of the lucky few to have taxes raised by Obama.
