If the Creator didn't need a creator, why would anything else?
The Creator proves itself unnecessary.
In response to the above - the Creator just appeared out of no where and worked. How do you explain that? Sounds pretty ridiculous to me.

Well, so far everything in the cosmos is contingent; that is to say, everything in the purview of physics comes under the rubric of "Why are you *that* way?" Why is the mass of the electron what it is? Why does DNA have such a small alphabet? Why is the earth 5 billion years old. Why does the existence of cobalt imply the existence of supernova? Why does the existence of the purely contingent imply the existence of the not-contingent? What does the list of non-contingent items look like?

Because he is the I AM, the creator, always was, always is. Are we to assume we got here by the big bang theory..utter nonsense. Look at your ear how its put together..do you think that was an accident?? No a higher power had to have created us and thats enough evidence for me. Sometimes you have to go on faith.

The space is infinite... The time is infinite...
Humans have a finite mind, for example if you say space or time has an ending place, then a finite mind must ask the question, what is on the other side..., furthermore, something does not come from nothing.
I cannot think of anything that comes from nothing !

It says so in the bible. Amongst numerous instances, I will quote one powerful passage:
"Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding." - Isaiah 40:28 (King James Version)
Our humanity limits our ability to comprehend His infinete wisdom. That is why your question comes up many times.

Because everything that is material either:
a) is an illusion;
b) always existed;
c) came into existence by itself; or,
d) was created by something.
Not a) because then there would have to be something that's experiencing the illusion.
Not b) because then you'd have an infinite amount of finite existence;
Not c) because self-creation is a contradictory term (something would have to first exist before it could create itself).
That leaves only one option.

Simple minds require simple explanations for everything, and they are happy to have a book that makes them feel safe.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary explanations.

How could people believe in the evolution "story"? We just "evolved" from a micro-organism? That sound more ridiculous that knowing that God in his divine wisdom created all things. Also Romans 1 v 19 and 20 clearly state that we do believe in GOD, but we have just chosen to live in a reprobate state of mind by not acknowledging HIM.

why should we assume that everything (the universe) requires a creator?
logic. Science's accepted theory is that matter and energy were not self-existant, so thay had to get there somehow. and nothing comes from nothing.

Some people like to give up on actively seeking the answers to life's big questions. It would be nice to simply say, something did it.
We shouldn't assume....we should seek until we find the answer. (Which we might not ever find.)
