Where? Hard to be in only one place when one is omnipotent.
It's a faith thing. You'll have no proof until you're dead. To insult someone for believing in God/a god with "there's no proof" as your only "proof," then you are just as foolish as he is for believing in God/a god because there is no proof that there is no proof. =)

OneWorldOrder,
I appreciate your, albeit disgusting, attempt to spur a discussion about religion. I've read many of them on this board, and I genuinely enjoy them...however, they do seem a lot better when the initiator is a lot less antagonistic.
I've worked for NASA, my current job involves space, and I've read Hawkins, Greene, et al. and all of this has led me to one conclusion...that science and religion are not mutually exclusive. Both are searches for the truth. Although religion has a horrible track record in that regard, we must consider that religion is a human interpretation of something nearly unexplainable...much like string theory. The problems arise because humans, through their many flaws, ruin what once was pure. Power and riches have a tendency to do just that...as was demonstrated with the tragedies of Gallileo and Bruno. However, religion has a much harder time, because unlike science, we cannot directly observe what we wish to know. That is why religion is purely based on faith. As Jesus said, "bless those who do not see yet believe."
I believe in God, because I've noticed many "universal truths" in my short life. As you yourself have indirectly mentioned, there are many similiarities in the teachings of Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. I believe these "univeral truths" are a result of a common spirit and not a result of speciation as some theories testify. As one brilliant man once told me in the jungles of Colombia, "religions are like a mountain. Each of the religions is a different path up the mountain, yet they all achieve to reach the same peak." I believe science is also one of those paths. Hopefully the fog will soon clear and people will be able to see the other paths from their vantage point.

I'll play along...
So let's say that we develop the Universal Theory that ties everything together...fom the Big Bang down to 10 or 22 dimensional strings, and that Hawkins description of imaginary time holds true so that the universe is constantly cycling with no beginning and end...then what do we fall on as to how all this was set up? Do we simply argue that it has no beginning and no end, so that the arguement is moot? I don't think people would be willing to accept that. However, how would we find answers given that other iterations of our universe have already collapsed and are unviewable? How do we see how things change over the constant recycling of our universe? All we can see is the current incarnation of our universe. If you're not following me, my point is that there are things we cannot observe, that are as real as what is in front of our face. However, because we cannot "see" them, they cannot be fully described. When (not if) we develop this Univeral Theory, even it will have phenomenon it can't explain...I believe those holes in the theory are best bridged by a belief in God.
Flame on if you will...you're entitled.
