That sounds like confirmation bias. A claim that a follower of any religion can make. It demonstrates that the testing was not proper. A proper test would ask "What would I expect to see if my beliefs were false?" . If you can think of a reasonable unbiased test that asks that question then you might have something.
A claim without evidence can be dismissed with a handwave.The universe expands and contracts, giving the appearance of a recent expansion from the explosion of a small thing.
Not so. You cannot assume a God. That is the concept being tested. We could fill in "God" with Allah or Vishnu and the claim would be just as valid.A proper test is whatever God put in place to test something. As for the folks doing other experiments, well, I am in no position to claim that none of them gets some sort of result from evil spirits either.

I disagree.Asking what happened before the Big Bang may be a nonsensical question.
Has the universe ever been observed contracting?The universe expands and contracts,
Really? Name one valid test.The tests are in. Thousands of years of them.
It may be, but only if there was a before. If there was no before then it is nonsensical. We are talking about the question,not about the results of studying. For example what is north of the North Pole?I disagree.
The word "before" can be a useful word that allows for probing deeper into a matter.
Not a valid test as explained above. That appears to be only confirmation bias. What reasonable test would show you to be wrong?Ro 5:5 - And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
I feel it.
When you can monitor the Spirit of God get back to us. Meanwhile you speak from ignorance.Not a valid test as explained above. That appears to be only confirmation bias. What reasonable test would show you to be wrong?

You were the one that claimed tests were in. The problem is that your texts confirm Allah, Vishnu, the Buddha, and every other version of god. I am not the ignorant one here.When you can monitor the Spirit of God get back to us. Meanwhile you speak from ignorance.
Again, I disagree.It may be, but only if there was a before. If there was no before then it is nonsensical. We are talking about the question,not about the results of studying. For example what is north of the North Pole?
If you want to claim that the right answer is "God" then the burden of proof is upon you. At best all we can say is "We don't know yet." Unless you have something to the contrary. Mere belief is something that all religious people have in common regardless of what god they believe in whether the Christian God, the Muslim Allah, the Hindu Vishnu etc..Again, I disagree.
See how effective your question was?
What is north of the North Pole?
Nothing.
You made a good point with it.
By the same token, what is before T=0?
In this case, "nothing" is the wrong answer.
The right answer is: "God".
This establishes His [natural] attribute of transcendence.
Why is that a problem, did you doubt they existed also?You were the one that claimed tests were in. The problem is that your texts confirm Allah, Vishnu, the Buddha, and every other version of god. I am not the ignorant one here.
What physical entity/object can exist before time, if not God?If you want to claim that the right answer is "God" then the burden of proof is upon you.
That's your prerogative.Subduction Zone said:At best all we can say is "We don't know yet."

Pretty much since they are contradictory to each other. As the saying goes, only one can be right, but they all can be wrong. I am still waiting for the supposed tests. No confirmation bias, but actual objective tests.Why is that a problem, did you doubt they existed also?
I believe they exist too: as fallen angels.Why is that a problem, did you doubt they existed also?
Not at all.Pretty much since they are contradictory to each other.
I think it goes:Subduction Zone said:As the saying goes, only one can be right, but they all can be wrong.
Of what? God's existence?Subduction Zone said:I am still waiting for the supposed tests. No confirmation bias, but actual objective tests.
