And you didn't care what Joe in Accounting was doing, did you? You had other more important matters to attend to?
As for why, that's just the parameters of the experiment. If the lab rats do what is expected of them, they are rewarded, and if they don't they get punished. It's all a big test in positive and negative reinforcement.

First you assume there is a god.
Then you assume he’s running an experiment.
You also assume we are the lab rats.
Kramar, I think you assume to much.
Don’t trust your own thinking on this one.
Headed out to the airport, may go flying, be back later today.
Since God is the Source and Essence of everything...and even before there was anything else, there was God---unless NOTHING exists (not even God), it isn't possible for God not to exist.
So...simple answer. Nothing tricky here---No, it isn't possible God doesn't exist.
RESPONSE:
Ah! So far so good. But now you have to reason as to what God is.
The most neutral term is an "eternal entity," something (person, energy, matter, etc.) that always existed.
As has been pointed out, if nothing existed for one moment, then there would always be nothing. And as others have noted, the question is why is there something and not nothing?
But you can't make an leap and claim that the eternal entity is a personal God.

Science only gets you to EXISTENCE . . . ALL the other attributes are BELIEFS.
