so where did god exist before he created the heavens?

Even some atheist believers in pre-beginning virtual fluctuations to start the beginning, assume that there was time and energy, possibly eternally. What if the creator just existed, having all the ur-exo-space and eternal time with him, all the energy*?
There is no "beginning" if there is "eternal". Being an atheist has nothing to do with believing contradictory things. Also, what if the creator is my dog, having gone back in time? Asking ridiculous questions makes them no less ridiculous simply because you couch them in pseudo-scientific and religious terms.

Yes yes, good for you. What are YOU defining as life's processes? You can't turn to science to explain an unscientific view. Everything on that list can apply to a rock.
False, if the organism dies, the machines cannot keep it alive. Even with the machines, at some point the organism will die. If the only thing keeping it alive was the machines, it would never die as long as the machines were the only thing keeping it alive. Think about it.
You can't claim "falsw" until you tell me what this substance is that animates life. Everything that's every lived has died, so you've actually equated the machine with this mysterious substance.

You don't know.
Fisherman, you said there was a "substance" that animates living things. What is this substance?
Besides that, it is true that living organisms carry out the processes of life but they must be alive to do so. It is also true that dead things (including rocks) do not carry out life's processes. Nor has it been shown that processes induce the state of life.
Define, specifically, what these "life's processes" are and what, exactly, is a "state of life", please.

You try to create anything out of nothing, then show and talk.
You prove that nothing can even exists. No one has ever encountered an example of it.
Movement through time is compulsory only for us. Pure energy is exempt.
"Pure energy" is a meaningless term.

i find it hard to believe that adults on this forum make such a big deal about not celebrating birthdays, x-mas, easter, halloween, etc, etc, etc.

i grew up as a jw kid and it actually made me feel good, being different from the other kids in school.

we went to meetings.

My mom's birthday was last week. Today we had a birthday party for her, aged flank steak with chimuchurri sauce, corn roasted in husk, grilled Ceasar salad and a vanilla cake with almond butter frosting.
My kids had a great time with their grandmother, spending a day with her, for her, giving her presents and cards they picked out and wrapped.
Depriving people of normal social interaction is despicable.

" a nashville swingers club has undergone a conversion it now says that it is a church in order to win city approval, so that it can open next to a christian school.

" (associated press).

the article explains, "a church is something that cannot be defined under the u.s. constitution"..... wt lawyers explain to the court all of the time; 'you can't interfere with our internal church policies, or you will be infringing on our first amendment rights.

Think of it this way, there is already a lot of screaming "OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD"! and maybe even "OH JESUS YES! YES YES YES OH JESUS!"

Sex has always been a big part of religion. Why wouldn't they want to?

Given a living creature and the same creature dead, the difference between them is the substance that "animates" them.
What is that substance?

it is in fact one mans story. with lots of contradictions I might add. this is whats so puzzling, where did anything come from?
Why did it have to "come" from anywhere?
Since He is a spirit being, He exists "nowhere", He exists outside of the psysical realm.
What is this spirit stuff made of?
