Energy cannot be created or destroyed,....
So, energy could not have been created. It was around in some form or the other? Is that what you mean? Do you call energy god? If so, a lump of coal can be called god.
.... yet we are here, so how did that happen you think?
What anyone thinks is not important. It's what can be demonstrated which is important.
1-God
2-It was always there.
What about all the other possibilities you don't mention? For example, fairies could have done it.
So it was either God or the universe was always there,....
Or fairies or aliens or garden gnomes or the Universe was not always there. Lots of possibilities. The fact that the Universe not always being there in it's current form is what all the empirical, verifiable evidence indicate.
....which do you think it is, why, and is there proof behind it .
You can't even "proof" that you exist. That's why science is so wonderful. It works on evidence, not proof. And it works very well, considering that you use the internet.
This will settle, many, many things.
Is that what you believe? Your beliefs are not important. it's what you can demonstrate with empirical, verifiable evidence that's important.
On a side note: I think it was God, according to my lfie experiences,....
Are you sure it wasn't the FSM, as other people have life experiences with the FSM? Others have life experiences with aliens who anally probe them. Others have experiences with gods other than the one you chose to believe in.
...but I'm sure that atheists who have not had any experiences with God may lead them to think otherwise
Many people who've had experiences with Allah beg to differ. They have lots of experiences with Allah.
Anyway, you've got it wrong. Atheists don't believe in the existence of any god or gods or anything similar. That's it. Nothing to do with "energy" or "Universe" or anything like that. Atheists simply don't believe all the stories theists tell about their gods. That's it.
You might want to start helping yourself in what the word "atheist" means. Anyway, why do you want to help people who don't need any help and can help themselves if needed? I find it terribly insulting for you telling me that I need help. Does it make you feel special when you do it?
Seeing that we are on insults, why don't you provide empirical, verifiable evidence for the existence of your particular chosen god?
With this, I don't mean "arguments" like the origin of energy of the Universe or anything like that. The reason is that, even if a god or gods or someting "created" energy or the Universe or whatever (I don't believe it, but it's for the sake of the argument), that god or gods could have died or lost interest in "creation" in the meantime. A dead god or gods or dieties are of no use.
Provide empirical, verifiable evidence that your particular god or gods or chosen diety exists, today.
