Seadogg, I made that same argument about 6 months ago as part of my proof that god doesn't exist. After all if he created the universe he must have been somewhere else when he did it, therefore he couldn't be in it, therefore if he is outside our universe he cannot (to us) exist.,it makes sense (to me)
Khandro, since most people here come from Christian/Jewish/Muslim societies, when 'God' is mentioned it's usually taken to mean the God of Abraham. Anything else really needs to be specified - otherwise it gets confusing. (We had a big discussion on this some years ago, and that was the consensus of opinion).
jomifl, I wasn't making a case one way or the other, merely stating what seems a logical position.
My own view of belief is that man, unlike other animals, is capable of introspective thought about issues like his own mortality and the uncertainty of future events.
This would account for the universality of religious belief, backed up by the discoveries of archaeology.

"if he is outside our universe he cannot (to us) exist"
There is the jump from reasoned argument to assumption. For example, if we live in a multiverse then there are plenty of things that exist outside of our universe.
Oooo noooo I won't assume any mention of God is about any "God of Abraham". If someone mentions God without clarifying it's their problem if subsequent posters get 'the wrong end of the stick'.
I think those who believe may well ask themselves the question but conclude it is an invalid question. A God would always be by definition.
