The existence - or lack of - a God is one of humanity's fundamental questions. Since the first birth, the first sunrise, the first death, humans have sought to explain the world around them. The whole of human existence, in the end, comes down to this: Is there a God?

The Definition of 'God'
Unified Force
In the first place there has to be a first cause. We have to start somewhere. In science this is called the Unified Force. Since energy can neither be created nor destroyed it is infinite. Science also teaches that it is beyond direct observation so it is unknowable. So the Unified Force splits into the Strong Force, the Weak Force and Electromagnetism, creating the Universe.There are then two questions. First, what is the difference between the Unified Force and God? In both cases we have an infinite, unknowable force creating the Universe. Second, what caused the Unified Force to break itself apart?

"First, what is the difference between the Unified Force and God?"
The OT, NT, and the body of Christian Theology.
It did not create man out of clay, build a garden, drown everyone, part the Red Sea, send it's only son...
"Second, what caused the Unified Force to break itself apart?"
The cooling / expanding universe.
The unified force did not create anything, it was just the force that acted on matter before the universe cooled to the point that it decayed.

a straw man.
First of all the Unified Force is the same as God. For you to treat God just as some anthropomorphic straw man that you can knock down is just silly.

You are the one who is anthropomorphizing the Unified Field theories... I just pointed out that the OT, NT, and the totality of Christian theology do not agree with your statements.

Anthropomorphizing?
I fail to see where I have anthropomorphized anything. I have simply said that the Unified Force/God is the infinite, unknowable force that created the universe. At this point the question is not Christian theology but whether there is a God. One thing at a time.
