People sometimes find it difficult to believe that even the lowliest microbe could exist without a creator, but at the same time they unquestioningly accept that an intelligent entity capable of designing and creating an entire universe can just exist fully formed, uncreated, with no origin of any sort. How do they reconcile this breath-taking internal contradiction? If it takes an intelligent creator to make a microbe, why doesn't it need an intelligent creator to make an intelligent creator? Or, to put it another way, if you are comfortable with the idea that something completely amazing like an intelligent entity capable of designing and creating entire universes can just exist without being created, then why do you believe that anything at all needs to be created? Surely an uncreated universe would be easier to accept than an uncreated creator of universes... wouldn't it?
