OK
I will not change my opinion. You will not change yours.
As such, us and those like us will continue to debate the point forever preventing any conclusion. Secondly it is infeasable for us to aquire the technology or divine insight needed to find absolute evidence. 😉

Another thing our friend forgot to realize is that ---The gravitational potential energy of a gravitational field is a negative energy. When all the gravitational potential energy is added to all the other energy in the universe it might sum to zero
is equal to "something", specifically "something" happening due to an outside force. Even if one were to accept the above hypothesis as true, they would still be left with the questions "where did this energy come from" and "what caused such an occurance?"
So once again, we really only have two premises. Either the universe was created by a divine force with a purpose in mind, or it was done so by a random force without one.
I tend to think the former is a much more logical than the latter..but that's just me, and to tell you the truth, I've always been known to be a bit on the crazy side..😆
Duhh
And here i was thinking it was referring to the study about the potential energy of curved space (caused by gravity) and its ability to produce matter and anti-particles out of a vacuum, who would annihilate each other and therefore transform back to energy (law of conservation of mass and ebergy).
Something could come out of NOTHING.

The inference you gave was that the linked hypothesis stated "something" came from "nothing."
This is so far off from the truth it's not even funny. As Mindship had posted, "nothing" just represents the net force created after the two oppossing energies are combined. So yes.."Duhh" is an appropriate response to my post, as the conclusion you initially came to(and are still alluding to) from this hypothesis was a very silly one.
If one thinks about it logically for a minute, the premise you've provided actually supports the God of the Bible's existence even more, as scripture alludes to him not being an extremist God, but rather being a consistantly-moderate one.
Thus, IMO..if we are to believe this premise to be true. Then one could state that "0" would be representative of the consistantly-moderate nature of God, as he is never influenced by either extreme on the positive or negative side.

You still haven't provided absolute proof of the above being true.

You keep on contradicting yourself. You just made a conclusion in the above quote, thus conclusions can be made.

Another contridiction, you've just provided an absolute stance with the giving the assumption that your above statement should be used as "absolute evidence" to draw a conclusion.
So your opinions are wrong and contradictory on so many levels. The only thing that is extremely difficult to find is "absolute proof" of God's existence within this life. This is because God himself has made it so his presence doesn't completely impact mankind, as it would conflict with the whole "free will" thing. Still, he makes himself 99.99 percent known through the various processes and things we see around us within the world. As it is stated in the bible. Even the "fool" knows that there is a God.
Even with this, I still believe it is possible for one to even go beyond the 99.99 percent and have direct contact with God in this life, however, such an experience is an extremely difficult one, and I believe would only be available to those who are seeking God in all that they do, or perhaps it would be better termed that God was seeking them for something in particular that he had planned for them to do, and it was necessary for him to have direct contact with them so that he could inform them of this something(hmm..thinks about the predestination thread..)

Personally, I choose to put my faith in science, rather than myths, legends and fables.
