Well, when I see such stupid arguments, I just can’t resist blowing them up.

So, you would claim that water is not still water when it's frozen? When it's steam?

No, it's only your ignorance that's infinite. The net non-local gravitational force at every point in an infinite universe is zero. The gravity from any given direction is exactly canceled by the sum of gravity from the opposite direction. Just like a uniform hollow sphere has zero gravitational effect on every point inside it.

Therefore God Must exist because he could exist and therefore couldn't not exist. (If you could follow that)
So, you claim that your god must exist, and must have created the universe, because you believe, without evidence, that the universe is infinite. A logical Klein bottle. But just like a Klein bottle, it's not real. An entity with the characteristics you attribute to your god can NOT exist within this universe, even if it is truly infinite. You claim your god transcends the physical laws of this universe, which means it/he/she/whatever can NOT be a product of it.
Here are some things I’ve always wondered about:
Why did your god completely neglect us for 197,000 years, meddle intrusively for 1,000 years, and then ignore us again for the last 2,000?
Why did your god let the Neanderthals go extinct? Didn’t he create them too?
Why is your god so obsessed with our sex lives? You make him out to be some sort of celestial Peeping Tom. Why such blind fixation with imposing unconditional life-long heterosexual monogamy on everybody? A god doesn’t have more important things to do?
We’re human. We make mistakes. Sometimes we marry the wrong person. Why should two people be forced to endure a lifetime of misery because they’re not allowed to correct that mistake? It’s stupid, it’s destructive, and ’til death do us part’ makes murder the obvious solution. How many murders have been committed over the last 2,000 years because ‘divorce is a sin’?
I caught David And Bathsheba on TCM last month and all I could think was, ‘one little divorce would solve all their problems’. All they needed was a Las Vegas of the Ancient World! Of course that wouldn’t leave much of a story…
