I have a few questions...?
Like here, this person asked where everything came from.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiQG_...
Some of them answered "It always existed". How can something always exist? Doesn't everything have a beginning? Another question. If God created us, when was He created? Did He always exist? (Which is what I don't understand.) Don't think of me as ignorant, because I'm only thirteen. I am still learning.
Thanks in advance.

"It always existed" is not a fact before the "big bang". In fact for something to have a beginning time must exist. And Einstein said, that time did not exist before the big bang, so the rules doesn't apply to what or who created the universe.
Hope that wasn't to hard to understand.

You're right, everything does have a beginning.
The beginning of the universe was because giant gas clouds filled with nothing but energy. We don't know how/where these clouds came from, but scientists are working on it. One of the more common hypothesis is that the clouds are trapped energy. And as the clouds moved around they made more and more energy, of course, being always constant (in either kinetic or potential) and there was so much of it that it began to make physical masses with each other and becoming denser and denser until it got so compacted that the energy exploded! hitting all the other clouds and (Because e=mc^2) the energy was converted into all the minerals and elements we know of today. It's very complicated and you should probably ask on a science forum, they could give you more accurate details than a guy from Russia who likes to read Science magazine.
And as for when was god created? Ever since man has had an imagination, and the inability to understand "nothing" we had to come up with something beyond death, which was in-fact "nothing." We came up with the afterlife, something that happens after life that is different to life, but does not = 0. Because we couldn't understand how you can just NOT live anymore. And then early humans, being mostly imperialistic, had to come up with a ruler for the afterlife, in the case of Jews and Christians, this ruler was "God." And thus the Creation of God.
I hope I helped, my friend.

Great question. If only we knew for sure. But we are only human beings with but a short time here in this place. Only the Lord knows the answer to your questions. But I will try:
How can something always exist? We don't know this. But didn't Einstein say "matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed?"
Doesn't everything have a beginning? Everything finite does, but how about the infinite?
Another question. If God created us, when was He created? He always existed.
Did He always exist? (Which is what I don't understand.) YEs.
I think you should read the beginning of 1st John: Joh 1:1 In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 He existed in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 God created everything through Him, and nothing was created except through Him.
Joh 1:4 The Word gave life to everything that was created, and His life brought light to everyone.
Joh 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.

I have a theory on things that always existed.
Firstly something that always existed would be incapable of doing anything because if it were to do something it would have done it billions of years earlier, instead of waiting an eternity to do it.
For instnace if an eternal being (God) can get lonely and feel the need to create earth it would have happened already in the eternity of time before he created earth.
The exception to this is if the eternal thing is eternally doing something, over and over again. If God created earth, by my theory he's been creating earths for all eternity, he didn't go an eternity not creating earths, then just decide to create one one day.
More likely, I think that matter is eternal and its going through a eternal cycle of compacting by gravity, exploding, expanding, and then compacting again. This would be the Big Bang/ Big Crunch cycle theory.

If you're only 13 and you can think of these questions already, then you are streets ahead of many of the adults here every night.
there is no logical answer to your questions honey and so they tell you to have faith.
What a crock of sh*t!! I am not willing to say there is no God. I am not so arrogant as to assume that I could know that for sure.
What I do know for sure is that if there is a God, then no narrow minded, intellectually stunted Fundie is going to know jacksh*t about her or her aims and plans!!
LOL!!

The only way for the Big Bang is if there was always matter and that space and time are infinite, just like God. So, science needs some faith, faith in infinity, faith in matter having always been. Why is a God that has always been not logical if everything else has always been?
According to that theory, I am technically the age of infinity, because my atoms would have aged with the continous universes, so i am really old. I believe this btw. Big Bang and whatnot.

I understand your question, as well as your reasoning for your question: is there not the law of conservation of energy and mass?
But, I will tell you this, no one will be able to answer you this question straightly. Some will tell you there God always existed, and others will say, well it is because there is no God. There is no such thing as an absolutely correct answer when speaking on the question of faith.
Good luck anyways!

I'm only thirteen too!... well, a month ago.
Well, there are just things that are inconceivable. So as time, when was time created? since when did it start? but we do know that it exists. and i'm sure it always be. Can anybody say that time would surely stop?
I guess not.
It's the same with God... :)

God is eternal. He doesn't live by 'time' as we do. Eternity is something that neither has a beginning nor an end, and that is who He is.
And yes, it is hard to understand God if you try to figure Him out with your futile mind. How can a finite brain comprehend something that is infinite?
Everything created has a beginning, but God didn't, bc He's not created, He's always been existing.

something must have always existed because nothing can't create something ,there is every reason to think everything always existed but went through different cycles and timelines , it's like a snake who ate his own tail thus becomes a circle and has no end.
