see in your eyes like when you see the beautiful sky
hear it like when you hear the wind
smell it like when you smell scent of the flower
touch it like when touch the beautiful sands and leafs

I just answered this but here goes again...

Do you think that, if you were granted omnipotence and omniscience and millions of years in which to perfect your world, you could produce nothing better than the Ku Klux Klan, the Fascisti. and Mr. Winston Churchill? Really I am not much impressed with the people who say: "Look at me: I am such a splendid product that there must have been design in the universe." I am not very impressed by the splendor of those people. Therefore I think that this argument of design is really a very poor argument indeed. Moreover, if you accept the ordinary laws of science, you have to suppose that human life and life in general on this planet will die out in due course: it is merely a flash in the pan; it is a stage in the decay of the solar system; at a certain stage of decay you get the sort of conditions of temperature and so forth which are suitable to protoplasm, and there is life for a short time in the life of the whole solar system. You see in the moon the sort of thing to which the earth is tending -- something dead, cold, and lifeless

I'm not going to create a "God Gap" for something just because I don't know the answer. 300 years ago god made lightning. People all knew that because they had no scientific proof otherwise. God filled the knowledge gap.

And just because you admire nature is no reason to thing a god made it: Blindness to suffering is an inherent consequence of natural selection. Nature is neither kind nor cruel but indifferent.
-- Richard Dawkins, on describing how one need only look upon nature where the wasp lays her eggs inside the body of a living caterpillar in order to dispense with the idea that the Universe is supervised by a benevolent deity, in The Devil's Chaplain (2004)

All these creations are indeed beautiful. But the being also created murderers and other people who rape children and cut off peoples heads. And He lets them do it. I don't believe in God. But If I did I would never worship him.

You must also understand atheism. We do not believe in an entity. No matter how many times you ask. Just like you will aways believe in God. No matter how many times we answer.

Can we just agree to disagree?

I don't care how it was created initially. I know I am here, I exist, and there is no being controlling me. Unless it is the alien overlords checking in on their failed science experiment.

Honestly, my life is not enhanced or given meaning if I figure out where we came from. I spend my time taking care of my friends and family. Not wasting time worrying about what it is all about. I like the fact I can think for myself and be a good person because I choose to. Not because the church has threatened me into being good.

Yes, I am telling you that. I don't think the universe "got created" at all. That's the whole point. I'm not just substituting something else in place of god. God does not exist.

Using your own logic, then you would have to agree that the creator would have to have an even greater creator and that creator would have to have an even greater creator. This would go on for infinity.

If you are going to use that argument don't stop at step 1, that psuedo logic. And really lame.

Just say you believe by faith, don't try to use logic, it makes you look really silly.

i don't think that you can tell me God created all these things with utter certainty, that's why it's called FAITH. you believe in something that has no proof. same goes with an athiest, they're believing in something/nothing without proof. agnostics have made the choice to neither agree or disagree, but wait for proof either way.

Through causes. It is irrelevant as to what those causes are for the purpose of this discussion. Before anyone starts belching about God as first cause, please study how the Cosmological Argument either results in fallacy or infinite regression before typing.

I don't know. I don't care. What happened two billion years ago has nothing to do with my life today. You reach a point of diminishing returns in any investigation. We have reached that point in trying to figure out how it all began.

If the beauty and complexity we see is proof of a creator, then isn't the even greater beauty and complexity of that creator proof of an even more beautiful and complex creator? etc.

All creation bears witness of God's handiwork and none is without excuse.
