I want to believe. It's not fun being an atheist. I wish there is a god. I thought there was one before but i was wrong.
All atheist once searched for god and some (like me) are still searching.

MrAlfa:

Lol....nothing was created then, nothing existed then, so no single where was in existence before we start talking of every-where

subtlemee:
The firmament

According to the genesis creation narrative, god created the firmament to separate the "waters above" the earth from the "waters below" the earth. This means the firmanent was created after the heaven and earth and it's purpose is not defined as god's dwelling place

Sorry
If you are still searching,
Then you are not an atheist.
That is a fallacy.

I would have,. But the question doesn't make sense.
God is infinite.
Everything that was created, both heaven and earth.
Exists in Him.

Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Sure, i agree to all that. I want to agree god is infinite, i also want to agree he created heaven and earth.
But knowing too well heaven is god's dwelling place which he created alongside earth, i want to know where god was dwelling before he created his dwelling place - which is heaven.

can a spirit be created ?

malvisguy212:
can a spirit be created ?

yes, in our mind

chemystery:

Sure, i agree to all that. I want to agree god is infinite, i also want to agree he created heaven and earth.
But knowing too well heaven is god's dwelling place which he created alongside earth, i want to know where god was dwelling before he created his dwelling place - which is heaven.

Genesis 1:1
in the beginning (time) God created the heaven (space) and the earth (matter).

we read in the epistle of Paul were he refer were God dwell as the third heaven:
2Corinthian 12:2
2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven.

there is nothing imply in genesis one that God created his own home, the reason you think like this is because you are only looking for fault and not truth.

Isaiah 57:15
15 For thus says the High and Lofty One
Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
s “I dwell in the high and holy place,
With him who has a contrite and humble spirit,
To revive the spirit of the humble,
And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

chemystery:
yes, in our mind

so, who created the first spirit ?

malvisguy212:
so, who created the first spirit ?

tell me

chemystery:

Fine, i am a theist that don't believe in any god.

Please explain . What does this mean ? Are there theists who don't believe in God ? And atheists who believe in God ?

chemystery:
yes, in our mind

The mental is immaterial and cannot be reduced to something physical. The mind is indeed the spirit .

chemystery:
tell me

you said a spirit can be created ( which is wrong) so I am asking you, who created the first spirit ?

chemystery:
tell me

How can he tell you ? You made the claim that our mind created spirit , please defend it .

Why dont people say "our father who art in third heaven..." or is god dwelling in space?

i never knew, you are just telling me. All i know is the human mind created all spirit being

if you say spirit cannot be created, then we are both right
