    I'm Agnostic when it comes to the ultimate cause because scientifically I cannot prove the absence or presence of "God" whatever that might be. When it comes to Christianity and the Gods we have created I am most certainly an Athiest because we can prove they do not exist.

    You cannot prove they do not exist, their very premise is unfalsifiable.

    God came from nothing and I don’t mean in the physical sense although that would also be true. God was not revealed to the world through evidence. Someone wrote a book about him and people chose to believe it.
    If I were to try and have a serious discussion about Leprechauns you might all laugh me off as insane. Why is it then that the religious get a pass? Why can they talk about some magical being there has never been any evidence of and we have to take them seriously? What you should have said was there is no need to prove the non-existence of something that has never actually existed.

    I worship Julianos, God of Wisdom and Logic.

    If anyone is interesting in converting google the Elder Scrolls!

    I have never seen an entity that might be a black hole, but black holes exist.

    Like gods, black holes exist because someone with an air of authority claimed that they exist.

    So you don't accept the idea of black holes either. Well, perhaps you're just a solipsist.

    If God exists, he is intentionally making it impossible to come to a logical conclusion on whether he exists or not.

    When you look at the center of a typical galaxy what do you see? There's a very large bright ball of stars. If there was a massive black hole there why hasn't it consumed all of the stars and grown even larger until everything is consumed? And how close can stars get to each other anyway? Remember, they come in all sizes.

    Here's a question for you to thin about. A typical spiral galaxy rotates in a relatively flat plane around it's center. However, the galaxy also has a large bulge that extends above and below the plane. So what kind of orbits do the stars in the bulge follow? http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/galaxy/pr2012011b/

    Now consider the stars at the top and bottom of the pole in the bulge at 90 degrees to the plane. Do they just spin around in ever decreasing tiny orbits the further they are from the plane?

    When you refer to "God" do you have a specific deity in mind? Hirohito was considered a god.
