Well I disagree, I don't find the hypothesis that God created the universe to be valid or justified. There is no evidence that a God even exists so that must be done first before he can be used as an answer for anything. There are countless definitions of God, even in Christianity. There are also thousands of other Gods that others have worshipped, each with an explanation of how the earth was created. So your God isn't special or unique, I'll give an example to help you see why I think the Christian story is ridiculous: This is the old Chinese story of creation. The first living being was P’an Ku, who grew for 18,000 years inside a cosmic egg. When he hatched, the shell above him became the sky while the piece below became the earth. The opposites in nature were separated as well—male and female, wet and dry, light and dark, yin and yang, etc. I would assume that you agree that this story is ridulous and to believe it would be crazy. Well that is precisely how I see the biblical creation story. I see it as a failed attempt by ignorant bronze aged farmers to try and explain how the earth was created.

  • There is also no evolutionary theories as to the origin of organic life, complexity, and intelligence.

  • No, I have no idea what "nothing" is, so I can't attempt to explain what can or cannot come from it. My position on the creation of the universe is I don't know. I have heard claims about what may have happened but I have yet to hear one that is compelling. Under your belief, God somehow doesn't need an explanation or a cause, and he created everything out of nothing right?
