I just watched a video in which Lawrence Krauss argues that the universe didn't require anything to exist before. It's well worth watching, and explains that science can allow a universe to come from nothing.

How can your God create something in his image if he has no physical form?

But why then can be not apply the same standards to the IPU's hooves? Perhaps the IPU has not physical form.

So am I to accept that the IPU isn't allowed to have hooves outside of the material universe, but Yahweh can have a form outside of the material universe. Considering that we are supposedly made in the image of God; surely God must have feet.

I don't think that anyone can. Ever. Not even the author.
