As for God or not I guess you can take one of two theory's:

The recycling God theory:

#1 There is a God, but before there was God. There was another God who created This God. The Cycle Continues. Because where did God come from, If we exist. Which means we are, atatched to a physical place, and God exists. Then god has to be attached to a physical place, which had to be created before he was around (I think you get the picture).

If you think that God has always just been there, one can also say that the Universe could just be there, and this is how.

The Universe Recycling Theory:

#2 The Universe is here, and it recycles it's self. Scientists say that we rebuild every atom in out body every week. We replace our atoms in our body with other atoms of the world and universe in which we live. We replace these atoms with every breath we take, everything we consume. These atoms come from everywhere in our universe, other people who have died before us, people that are living right now when they have recycled thier atoms out and we obtane them, or the universe obtanes everything that no other being uses. In this theory we are everything and everythig is us. I think that this is kind of like taking the whole Hinduh approach and going one step further. Instead of cows being sacred, everything is sacred. We should have respect for everything because we are everything and everything is us.

I think the universe just keeps recycling it's self.
