Here is my take on the God question: a house does not build itself.
Seeing as infinite regression is impossible, there has to be a first cause.
Notice also that questions of time do not apply to such a being; time is
simply the observable difference in measure of a system devised by a
human to record the number of units between two points of motion made
by an object or otherwise observable phenomena (let that sink in :-) ).

I never liked the religious explanations, but science has yet to satisfy me
with an answer that makes sense: a universe coming into existence without
the help of an intelligent creational force seems highly unlikely to me, more
so than the idea of a force having always been. It's too early for anyone to
tell with absolute certainty, so let's not start flaming each other over this.
