Why do you assume that everythig must have a "creator". Can't you think of any other possible ways something could have come into existence? Or is that to much brain work?

Christians have a problem with accepting scientific fact, they also have a problem with accepting their own mortality.

Does your brain just not go to the end of an argument? For something to exist, there must have been a creator. Nothing comes from nothing. Name a possible way that something could have just come into existence, and I'll think about it. But even evolution and big bang theories offer that life forms were created from some form of matter. The big bang occured when two things banged into each other. Where did that matter come from? Did it just appear? If so, how long before evolution began did the matter that things evolved from appear? It's irrational to think that things just spontaneously existed.

Christians shun scientific explainations for how the Earth and life came to be because the idea that there is no reason for us being here other than being here, purely by chance, is terrifying for them. Religious believers or mentally weak and incapable of recognizing their own importance and self-worth, so they look to a "God" to save them and give them a purpose. It's sort of sad, beause my mother is a card carrying "bible-beater" and she never lets me forget it. If we aren't born again Christians, we're going to burn in the lake of fire while the Devil laughs on. I hear it a lot. When you really sit down and pick it apart, you realizize how ridiculous any religion can be. Rational thought tells us there are no supreme beings that you can speak to through prayer(talking to yourself)that will make everything all better.
Christians don't ASSUME that everything was made by God, "The Creator" They demand that it was, and will not listen to objections or possible other scenarios because they are scared. If scientists proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that God did not create Adam and Eve, the Earth or Jesus, by explaining to them, "hey, look, knock it off with this creation stuff, we all know dinosaurs were here first. It's a fact" They'd be like, "Where is your faith? The Devil has you in his grasp and he's lying through you, trying to tear our faith apart." Crazy talk I tell you. Christians freak me out.

I am a Christian, and I can think of lots of other ways, like this: fairies, genies, cereal box prizes, magic wands, gateways to other dimensions, just "poof" and there it is, cabbage patches, storks, Santa Claus, leprechauns, spells, transporter beams, multiple synchronic hypernova explosions in neighboring universes, pixie dust, ...oh my, that list just goes on and on. Didn't require much brain work either.
Of course the probabilities for those things are much lower than 100%, which is what you get when calculating things coming into existance with a Creator.
What did you come up with for things coming into existence?

That's an easy answer actually. I hope that you remember this:
Christians assume that everything was created because we draw from a source that we hold as true. Many do not give any credit to that source-- the Bible, and they have that right. But what you asked was, "Why do Christians assume . . ." and I gave the answer. You pick your source for truth, I have picked mine.

Its a lack of understanding of the many alternatives.
First they don't realize that Complexity derives from selection processes operating on variance.
Nor can they comprehend that variance has many possible sources the one I prefer is mathematics. You don't need a creator, simple logical necessity is enough.

Why do people when they see a building believe that there was a builder?
Was there really a builder? If you didn't see the building being built, the workers or the plans, then how by God, do you know that there was a builder?
The building is evidence that there was a builder.
Same real logic applies to creation, it works something like this. Building duh builder, Creation duh Creator.
Just as a building can not exist without a builder nor can creation exist without a Creator.
What you choose to believe as a creator doesn't matter, logic teels us that one does not exist without the other.

OK. Use your super brain and tell me if a creator did not make our universe, who or what did.

The first chapter of Genesis is about creationism ... something from nothing. Chapter two is about evolution ... something from something. Man created God because he wants to be immortal.~

We don't. God exists and was not created. The funny thing is that the whole "not created" bit is the sticking point for a lot of atheists, and I don't think they object to a little "brain work" (as you put it).

Yet they claim that the creator has always existed and was never created.
Work that one out
