Yes I can.
Who says how many times the Big bang happened and failed. Our Universe could be the result of the trillion trillionth spark of matter / anti-matter, and just because we only know about this one we assume it's all a miracle.
It's like throwing a basketball backwards over your head from midcourt and it going straight into the hoop. It's won't happen every time and it's no miracle but if you do it enough times then one day it will go in.
Give me an infinite period of time and I can do anything too!

Let me put it this way hypothetically: if there was an infinitely fast computer, with an infinitely large capacity with access to an infinite number of parameters concerning the entire universe, then this computer could know everything, predict everything, and do anything.
This of course does not need to be literally a computer, but some form of life or existance unknown to us.
As we have no evidence of anything like this, nor sufficient parameters to determine what could have these attributes, we can't assume the world around us was created by such entity. However, we don't have sufficient parameters either that the universe came to existence by itself - only assumptions based on limited research and observations.
So the answer to this philosphical dilemma will have to wait until we have sufficient parameters to make a firm judgement on these issues.

why do we care? we are'nt even looking after it!
it's a remarkable planet and we devastate it and ruin it for ourselves, and our children and childen's children.
the sins of their father's will certainly be upon our great grandchildren....if the world is still here then. and we havent completely devestated it.
we ruin our piece of the world, then other people's piece of the world, damage other people and all in the name of something we can't prove one way or another.
So, why the quest to have to understand how the world came into existence, of what significance and importance will it make to the world at large.
will it feed us all, will it stitch the ozone layer back up, will it stop ice caps melting, make the world and the people and our future people a good loving peaceful life, on a loved and cared for planet.
i don't give a hoot in hell how or why the universe and especially this planet was created, it's here and so are we, and why there is two camps with religion in one camp and science in the other. it's beyond me that you people can't just get together and agree that there may or may not be a bit of something in all theories. or it may all be a lot of tosh.
who cares.

No. We are simply not smart enough to comprehend the nature of the universe as a whole, including its creation (or its infinite history depending how you look at it). As a result people have tended to attribute creation to a sentient, intellectually superior creator/controller being, ie a god, but this is just intellectual laziness and anthropomorphism. People want an answer to the question, 'why?', and can't cope with the possibility that there might actually be no answer, or at least not one that we can comprehend.

The human mind can accept this as a given, ie a predetermined problem with an answer derived at some point in the past, but the answer can not be reasoned or reworked to a satisifactory conclusion using logic alone.
therfore; no.

I find it easier than believing in God
If you say God created the universe then what created God, and saying that he has always been is just a cop out.
Its much easier to believe and theoretically possible to create matter from nothing.
Its much harder for me to believe that an all knowing intelligent
being popped out of a vacumn

I tried to accept it, but my logic and intellect told me they'd buy me a coffee if I stopped thinking about it. The coffee won.

Why not? Everything has to start somewhere and that includes that everlasting concept called GOD. Believers say that he has always existed, why can't the same thing be said about life?

Can you believe that whatever put it their came into existence itself?
Can you even believe that the very notion of things being 'put into existence' is a valid line of inquiry itself?

Yes. Theirs no need for a belief in a 'higher being', thats just childish. Science and Logic wil show us how.
