I don't believe that God was created in the Big bang;
Revelations 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. To me that implies that God was before the Big Bang; it is obviously difficult for us to conceive the idea of infinity - and this is one of those cases. Without anything to substantiate my belief, I would add that the would be no life had it not been for God; maybe God was responsible for the Big Bang, and that was his way of spawning life.............

In any case, we have a model of the universe which fits pretty much exactly what we see in the real world. There is a ton of evidence saying that the model is correct and none to say that the model is incorrect. Given that, I don't see how you can turn around and say that the single universe theory is wrong when you have no evidence to support your claim that it is wrong and you have no evidence to support your multi verse claim.

Hmmm. This is a difficult question Phil simply because you have two theoretical concepts at play. First, I do accept the Cosmic Hairball (aka The Rather Large Bang) as being the best model for the creation of the "universe". The concept isn't perfect but it works for me.
Now on to the concept of "god". Your question presupposes that what human animals call "god" in fact exists. There is no direct proof (no, not even the Qur'an is direct proof my dear Muslims) to support the claim that "god" exists. I am more inclined to think that "god" is a human construct and therefore it seems reasonable to say that "god" was created LONG after the Big Bang. To call the precreation universe "god" is also not terribly helpful in understanding what the state of that reality may have been. It is safe to surmise that it would not be human in any way "shape or form". Our predilection for forming our gods in our own image is understandable, but it is also fairly arrogant and distinctly egocentric. It is as if we have this burning need to make reality conform to our expectations. I rather expect that that is expecting a bit much. I think we flatter ourselves with our "deep" understanding of reality and that is why we tend to take comfort in our self-adoring gods that we have become enthralled by... in more ways than one. oh well, i could be wrong, but at least i don't pretend to be right. ![]()

The design for God exists in the same non-temporal way as the design for the Big Bang.

Funny, isn't it? At first, scientists hated the idea of the Big Bang because it seemed to imply a Creator (not to mention it was first suggested by a clergyman). Now, they can't seem to get by without it.

"Eureka, an essay written in 1848, included a cosmological theory that anticipated black holes and the big bang theory by 80 years, as well as the first plausible solution to Olbers' paradox. Though described as a "prose poem" by Poe, who wished it to be considered as art, this work is a remarkable scientific and mystical essay unlike any of his other works. He wrote that he considered Eureka to be his career masterpiece." Edgar Allan Poe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't--for sure. I know only what my perception of the symbol "God" is.
