Somebody help me but I don't see why that question is supposed to make me go " Oh yeah, of course, some old white man up the sky that I can't see or hear created me and I better agree that he's up there otherwise..it's baaad"
Who decided that the answer to " Who created all of this" is a personal God? Because some people decided so years ago and put it on paper with absolutely nothing to back it up?
So can anybody come up with some ..."far out"..answer ( like we're all robots operated by this giant computer located on the sun) and hope people will gobble it up (with good PR and marketing strategies of course)?
PS: don't jump on me for my description of God, that's what he looked like to me in those little colorful illustrated Bible books for kids they gave me in Catholic school..

Hmm...
I like Douglas Adams's explanation in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The Earth is a supercomputer that was created to come up with the ultimate question. The ultimate question that gives the answer of the life, the universe, and everything which is, of course, 42. It was created by a different super computer (Deep Thought) and made by a planet-making business in a different part of the universe. We're all just parts of the running program that will cease as soon as the question is discovered. And to make things more confusing, the whole operation is run by and funded by pan dimensional beings that look like mice.
In short, mice paid a giant super computer to design the Earth (another computer) in order to do a complex calculation. The Earth was made by a business that makes luxury planets.
Doesn't get much more off the wall than that.
EDIT: Honestly, I don't know why that's any crazier than some God somewhere that decided to create Earth because he just got bored once...even though this wouldn't help with his boredom because he's omniscient anyway. Really, that sounds ridiculous when you say it like that. Most of these people didn't answer your question...

We don’t need no stinkin’ god to create life – cause it ain’t that big-a-thang.
It would have been very unlikely for life NOT to have occurred on earth. All of the ingredients (which happen to be the most common in the known universe, making their presence on earth nothing special) and the water-rich environment made the earth an ideal ‘natural’ laboratory.
The bio-chemical reactions that transition a ‘non-living’ molecule into a ‘living’ molecule are the result of natural processes. In fact, there is no great leap from one state into the other. Molecules just sort of ease their way back and forth.
Like mama always said – ‘chemicals make life better’.

hey, let me know the results of this question. I get asked the SAME annoying question when people find out I'm an Atheist. I turn it back around at people when they ask..
"What makes YOU think you were created by some unseen life force or supreme being?" it can shut them up or piss them off either way it can get quite entertaining

I wouldn't say who created you, I would ask what do you believe? I believe in a higher power, ghosts, and myself........I just don't need to follow my belief in a man made building with man made rules........in most cases someone interpretation of the bible

Religious groups try to win you over to their side for your support and money. The evil ones always threaten you with a hell or other punishment. If you search and question you will eventually find your path. In the meanwhile be true to yourself and treat others are you want them to treat you.

You can believe in whatever you want, there's nothing we can do to change your mind. But God created all of us whether you want to believe it or not. And don't refer to God as just some old white man up in the sky. He's much more than that. Sorry, but you're probably not going to get the answer you're looking for on here...

Just tell them that the Flying Spaghetti Monster created all of us in his image and that you have been touched by his noodly appendages. That should shut them up.
RAmen!

God is a better reason than any other reason there is... sure beats the guesswork of evolution which says we came from some eternal cosmic stuff floating out in space.
Inteligent design requires that there be a designer... nothing happens by chance yet the evolutionists say that we happen by chance... makes no sense to me... the only other alternative is God

Hehe, next time say "My Mother and Father did, why....do YOU have questions about how YOU got here? Because I don't have time for the 'Birds and Bees' right now."

Maybe those guys have never really questioned their faith. Those of us who DO know that their argument is really weak. So is "aren't you worried about burning in hell?" Obviously not, man.
