this has always puzzled me.
i can't see believing in god as something that can withstand simple questions.
i mean, if the life on earth is too complex to have originated on itself and somebody created it, then that how did that somebody come to be ? did somebody else create him (and why not her ;) ) ?
if somebody else, we get into a loop, where we still have to break out at some point.
if not, then there can be no scientific, critical thinking that could accept the "he just exists, you may not question that".
so how could a chain of logical arguments convince a person of gods existence ?
God's existence and God's beginning are two distinctly different topics to discuss. But isn't it pretty much the same with the Universe itself? I mean, even if you accept the big bang theory, the contents that exploded had to come from somewhere, right? Just because you can't explain it's beginning, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
