The problem is, as my religious friends love to bring up, everything that has an end has a beginning. We're limited to our understanding of space and time.

Religous people have no problems with accepting there is a God whose power works beyond space and time. This sprang from my four years of being in contact with friends from Islam and Christianity, and that I have slowly accepted and adopted the fact that that is what they believe and there's nothing wrong with forming that belief.

In science, except in mathematics-related areas, I was taught not to "prove" a hypothesis but provide comprehensive analysis to either "support" or "refute" it. That the experimental designs may give overwhelming support for something now doesn't mean it can't be overturned later.

God is neither mathematical nor biological because we don't know what/who God is. That merely putting a God there, outside our equations of currently accepted knowledge and abstaining from discussing "God" (or in my language, just a higher being), is, to me, satisfactory. I no longer have a strong belief against "God" but I don't cite "God" in explaining something. There is just so much that I don't know, we don't know that we should just be happy experimenters who like to research until we see something that "miraculously" (a true miracle, in fact, because I have no idea what sort of evidence this might be) points to the existence/nonexistence of "God".
