Believers always say that the atheists are wrong and that if we look
around us we should ask our selves"who made all this? this universe
means proves the existance of a higher power which created it". It ois
absurd to believe that the universe came out of nothing, for everything
must have a creator.
But, applying the same logic, isn't it equaly absurd to believe that
this creator came out of nothing? isn't it equally logical to believe
that he, too, must be made by a higher creator? and so on, and so on!!!

If you disagree with this logic then why? on what basis? Why is it a
must for the mind to refuse that the universe have existed for ever , or
came out of nothing, or never had a creator while it is also a must for
the same mind to belive that God came out of nothing, had no creator, or
existed for ever!!!
How could we apply such double standards and still call this logic?
Or is the creator a totaly illogical idea which we were brought up not
to realise how absurd it is?

For the souls that find no solace in the stillness that comes from meditation in such disciplines such as yoga there is the development of this curious conduct of a game I call "where did I come from?" For that discomfort exists many sources of information. Try the Urantia Book and see if that doesn't help stimulate you towards the answer es you seek.

You are thinking too hard. Live in the present, it is a gift. Don't spend all your time in the past or you won't have time to enjoy your future.
Believe in what you wish, and remember to always love.
There are different theories, but if you work to hard to figure it out, and don''t, you will have wasteed loads of time.
Take each day individually.
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift,
That's why we call it the present.

I see what you mean, and I'm very surprised no one has said this.
Its very simple.
The Creator, whoever He/he is, had to always be. If there is indeed a Creator/creator, they had to always be and always will be.
Or if indeed someone made the Creator, that Crator of the Creator/creator had to always be.
I hope I have understood your question.

Apply whatever logic you must. But believing in God isn't about logic, it's about faith. Faith is believing in those things you can't prove or see. And if you choose not to have faith or believe in God, that's your perogative. One of the best quotes I've heard recently, though, is "I'd rather live my life as there is a God and then die to find out there isn't, than to live my life as though there is no God, and then die to find out there is."
God bless!

Your argument is sound, except for one flaw: our human minds cannot possibly comprehend something as complex as a God. It would be like trying to explain advanced calculus to a cochroach...

Not absurd at all. You just need to have Faith.
