What if the God is not part of this world but this world is part of the God.

As-salamu 3laikum sister harb,

Just curious what you mean by this. The world is part of the creation of Allah subhanahu wa taala, but we know that the creation is totally separate from Allah. So I'm not sure what you meant.

Salam alaykum

When I was thinking that the God/Allah is part of the world I wasn´t muslim yet but atheist. So I didn´t know it at that time.

Thanks for you reply sister jazaki Allahu khair. I understand what you meant now, by the way your story is really beautiful.
 
For example, I have never seen a single molecule of oxygen, but do I know, or do I believe it exists? I believe that I know it exists and that in its absence, I know that I would die.

We can measure oxygen. We formed testable and falsifiable hypotheses and have found all evidence, yes actual evidence, to point to oxygen being there. Not so with God. It is all fine and good to say you believe in God based on "faith", but "faith" to me just means believing because you want something to be true, despite having no evidence; believing because you choose to. And that isn't really something I would call a virtue.

Likewise, I believe that I know God exists, because I see that if He does not exists, then I see that it is impossible for me to ever have come into being.

I am not so quick to make that leap. I don't know that it is impossible for me to have come into being without a God. I do not believe you know either. You employ faith.

I perceive that the question of their personal origin does not come to atheists

Sure it does

or if it does come they are satisfied with a so-called scientific theory that claims we arose from a simple, unicellular prokaryotic Common Ancestor through a completely natural process - natural selection acting upon genetic variation that arose primarily through mutations and chromosomal reorganizations.

I'm not satisfied with that. I think that is the best guess we currently have based on what evidence we have managed to come up with, but I don't find it a very good guess. I am content to simply admit I do not know, and to condiser whatever new evidence or ideas come along. Why is it so frowned upon to admit we don't know what we don't know?

Does it strike anyone as odd that I, as a biological scientist, have faith in God, but doubt a 'scientific theory'?

I doubt a lot of scientific theories. Isn't that why we call them theories?
