God...Tom Stopard and an idea

I went to see Jumpers last night, which some of you might know is a Tom Stopard play, it wasnt very good, but there was a very interesting idea in the middle.
If we are able to understand that time will keep going on infinately infront of us, why not behind us as well. Is it surely only our inability to concieve of there being no starting place that makes us believe there is a god?
Just a thought.

Who was there before God? No one knows..there must have been something...we will all find the truth out sometime.
it says in Genesis,
in the begining God created the earth.
these are the things that we arent supposed to understand, but when we find out we'll probably like "ah right, that was it..."
Personally, I think that both creation and Big Bang theories are true, and that the seven days refer to seven time periods not seven days literally. Evolution would indicate this.
That, or go with H2G2, and the belief that if the meaning of the universe is discovered then it will be replaced by something even more bizarre, and that this might already have happened.
yes and genesis also said god created earth in seven days, it also said he made the sun on the 3rd day i think, BULLSHIT, what constitutes a day without the sun, nice one whoever wrote it, the bible is certainly sumthing to avoid wen talking about the earth and its creation, so is 99% of the "scientific" theories out there, the truth is that humans will never understand time
the big bang ties in nicely with the bible statement that everything was created through gods dynamic energy ...being thousands of years old ...the statement dynamic energy is quite something.
But if the Bible is a collection of written accounts of real events then Genesis is a bloody miracle. Why?
Eve was created from Adam's rib, right? So technically that means that they share the same set of genes and are effectively clones. So if the first two human beings ever were clones then how do we describe genetic differences seen today?
Then we have the question of if this really happened, it would have existed in prehistoric times, Adam and Eve would have had no way of documenting their lives or keeping a diary because they had nothing but their nudity. True, they ate from the tree of life but keep in mind the garden of Eden, if my knowlege serves me correctly is situated in the middle east. Wasn't the first ever paper invented in Egypt?
Ok... so further more, looking at linguistics Adam and Eve would have spoken in an ancient language and even if it were hebrew, dialect and other features would have changed over time, so even if evidence was found of ancient writings, then at the time it would probably have been impossible to translate.
So the only source in my opinion they would have got the idea from is through word of mouth, which is extremely unreliable or by divine inspiration, even more unreliable than the latter. Because inspiration is felt in a different way for everybody. We all have our own perceptions and realities.
Just an opinion.
