The universe had to be formed somehow, right? It's a mystery how. God is a possibility.
- axiom92 8y agoWe don't know what it is, must be God. Sure, that's meticulous.
- Pimpus 8y agoThat's a strawman. It's not what I said. I'm saying that there being a creator is a serious possibility. It's certainly not the only one, but it doesn't deserve the flippant attitude or ridicule. And sure, God doesn't really "explain anything" (who created God? what is He like?). Doesn't mean it's not a possibility. Part of the atheistic position is an inability to admit that there are things we don't know. What's beyond the universe? We have no idea. I think many atheists are just reactionaries frustrated by the irrationality of religion and throw out all spiritual or religious concepts without thinking it through.
