If it was uncaused, then, science has a problem, for something cannot come from nothing. If it was caused, as it must have been, then what caused it?
Please, no sound bites. Is the knowledge "fact or faith"?
It seems that the 2 possibilities are:
1. Some mysterious phenomenon.
2. A creator possessing the property of consciousness.
Which is more likely? and why? Are not both reason and faith-based?
I would add more, but will run out of room.
Also, an issue usually brought up is what caused the creator. No one knows. However, consciousness in people is still far from understood, and some researchers do not think it can be understood, except that it is. So to explain this gap in knowledge, it is reasonable to "believe" that the universe and existence were caused, by a being of infinite consciousness. This cannot be proven, but it fits the data and issues better than other ideas.
