God designed time itself, so God is outside of time and has no beginning or end.

This is the reason why God is eternal. Some people say if God created the universe, then who created God.

To echo Straggler: How do you know this?

Straggler and Coragyps asked how you know this, and I'm going to ask the same question, but in another way.
Cosmologists studying the universe have not yet gathered enough evidence to know whether the universe is eternal or not.
Since you appear to know that God is eternal, you must have gathered sufficient evidence to reach this conclusion.
What is that evidence?
One other thing. Should your statements about God be construed as a belief that the ID designer is God? If so, do you have any evidence supporting this view?

Please, show me the evidence of this.
I had already discovered the boundary line between the natural and intelligent. So, by usng that line, it shows that nat selec was a fairy tale.

Nothing makes sense in science except in the light of the new Intelligent Design .

God designed time itself, so God is outside of time and has no beginning or end.
So who designed the realm in which God resides?

"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM." This reveals God as the being who is absolutely self-existent, and who in Himself possesses essential life and permanent existence.

I believe that God is the designer because I believe that God is the designer, architect, supreme being and source of the universe.

Faith Or Evidence?
Portillo writes:

I don't doubt that you do believe this. But why do you think your particular beliefs have any bearing on reality?
Portillo writes:
"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM." This reveals God as the being who is absolutely self-existent, and who in Himself possesses essential life and permanent existence.
And other books will say other things which suggest that other gods are the undesigned designers of the universe.
I suppose with regard to this thread the question is this - Do you consider your belief that the Christian God is the designer to be a faith based position or an evidence based position?

Its both for me. I dont believe in God because it adds some sort of meaning in my life. I believe because I believe it is the truth. And that involves the real world that we see and also the spirit world that we cant see.

Re: Faith Or Evidence?
It is not uncommon for those of faith to convince themselves that their faith based conclusions are also evidenced.
Can you tell us what evidence you use to derive your conclusion that the Christian God is the undesigned designer?

Re: Faith Or Evidence?
Hi Portillo,
I think you're in the wrong thread. You're even in the wrong section of the website. Faith-based arguments belong in the Religious Forums.
It works like this. When you have evidence for what you believe, you take it to the Science Forums. When have expressions of faith for what you believe you take them to the Religious Forums.

Are you asking me why I believe that God exists? I dont think its possible to explain in one message why I believe because believing in God isnt something that happens overnight, at least not for me. It is a long spiritual journey. But I do believe it is based on the evidence around me, such as a strong sense of place within a cosmos that radiates the glory of God and displays a divine structure.
