text: based on facts in your posession, does god exist? do not quote any book called bible, testament, etc.  only facts in your posession.  no opinions, no feelings.  no "i was told".   if you do not follow these instructions, you will be punished by god for being dishonest. the laws of nature dictate that something does not come from nothing.  those laws affect our universe.  our universe could not come to exist from nothing or from something within our universe.  if the universe exists, it came to be by some means other than within our universe and by something or someone not bound by the laws of our universe.
