"How did you get here if there is no god?

Answer 1

Since I believe there is a God and he created me and knew me before I was created by my parents. I am wondering if you are asking a question for yourself or others to think about?

Answer 2

Sperm fertilized egg, nine months later there I was!

Oh, OK, you're being a bit more abstract. Though I myself do not believe in God, I recognize that there is no way that that question--in it's most fundamental sense--can be answered in any satisfactory way. That said, however, religion does not offer a satisfactory answer either.

I accept that life essentially cropped up spontaneously as a result of certainly conditions, ie. enzymes in the primordial soup combining to form living cells. This is not as far fetched as it may seem: though life itself has yet to be created in the laboratory, experiments in the mid-70's proved that the aforementioned (potentially) life-giving enzymes can be created in such conditions.

But to go back to what I presume is the core of your question--how can the universe exist if there was no God?--there are even very speculative theories on how that was possible, yet it still assumes the existance of...something...to spark the ever popular Big Bang. (And frankly, the theories themselves are so esoteric that they border on fanciful.)

The fact is, that question can't be answered. Now, of course, that fact is often used by believers to refute the whole Big Bang idea. But that refutation is, to me, an example of one-dimensional thinking. Just because we don't have an answer doesn't mean there isn't one. Asking how the Big Bang is ultimately possible is no different that than asking how God came to be. The common answer to that, of course, is "He always was."

I certainly can't refute that. It's the same fundamental question. Either matter always existed or God always existed. Which you believe is a matter of faith.

Answer 3

Some things cannot be explained because there is just not enough information. Some people simply attribute those things that they cannot explain to "god". It's an easy answer, but illogical; "god" can't be explained either. After all, how did "god" get here? Is there another "god" who created him? And then who created that "god"? and so on and so on around in circles.

Answer 4

A much more intelligent question is to ask, "How did you (or any of us) get here if there IS a god?" Certainly an intelligent creator would not have created such flawed creatures for his favorites. Our reproductive organs are in the middle of our sewage facilities, and we breathe through the same hole we eat through. This is not intelligent design.

Answer 5

My parents had sex and my mom got pregnant. If you go back further than that, we evolved from earlier primates that came from earlier vertibrae. Eventually, you get to the Big Bang. We don't know the cause (if any) for the Big Bang.

Of course, I don't know how our lack of information about something demonstrates the existence of a god. God is demonstratably a made-up answer conceived by superstitious religious fanatics. Made up answers don't really explain anything.

Answer 6

There is no definitive answer at this time, however, "god" is not a logical or definitive answer to the question "how did we get here". In fact, it is the least likely answer.

Answer 7

Evolution.

Answer 8

Well, one December night my parents had sexual intercourse, and 39 weeks later, there I was. I don't think gods had anything to do with it.

Answer 9

I've evolved through evil eyes in the depths of outer darkness

Answer 10

Billions of years of reactions and counter reactions.

Not to mention Mom and Dad.
