The best we can do in understanding something we don't understand is list the observations we have and link our statements of belief to those observations.

we are surrounded by life and connected to it at the fundamental levels of space time. Thats the best base line we have as a starting point.

both "thebiblegod" and "anti-religious" are far less valid base line observations. I call them **** poor axioms.
any lines of logic starting with those two "facts" end up hurting far more people than they are worth. Kind-a like having clowns as the base line for clothing.

We depend upon revealed knowledge. The Bible told us that the earth was suspended in space as a globe.

The "science-faith" people in the ancient world believed that the earth was flat, because they were going on their limited observation. They didn't trust revealed knowledge because the people who believed in it were of such lowly stature in the eyes of the world. As if God wouldn't be able to speak to someone with a lower IQ.

How does science conflict with the idea that God exists outside time as we know it?

And don't confuse blunt talk with personal attack. That tactic is tired.
So, some Christians believe God came into being at the Big Bang? How? From another, higher source?

You know the atheist definition of "thinking" is someone who agrees with their opinions. Consider the source when you hear statements like that.

This would be my advice on answering this question...

Well, rather than being on the outside looking in...meaning using the intellect to figure this question out...
go to the source....go inside...know God...know His Nature, His Mind...
understand Him yourselves and it will all become clear. Forget books.
Have a direct experience of God or whatever you'd like to call the Creator, personally.
Bingo.
Be still.

No it doesn't. Produce the chapter and verse.

Balderdash! The Greeks mentioned a spherical Earth in the 6th century BCE. In the 3rd century BCE, Hellenistic astronomy established the spherical shape of the Earth. It was the Church that kept insisting that it was flat.

No Jimmy, that's an "untruth". Here is the post you're talking about:

Apparently you put yourself within my definition of unthinking.
