That asumes that everything needs a creator which is god. But then if god doesnt need a creator, then why should the universe need a creator. You might say that the universe is soo complicated it must need a creator, but surely god is even more complicated.

Good point, and anyone with an education and ability to reason, would, of course agree with you. Read The God Delusion...by Richard Dawkings.... every argument you ever heard for the existence of god is explained away in his book. Was on the NYTimes Best Seller list for months, so, there are more thinking people out there than you may at first believe from being on this site............

How does God relate to the universe via fact all of it began? right here we come across 2 trouble-free positions. One is that God is “undying.” by ability of this that's meant that God, mutually as the author and sustainer of the international, became into not stricken by ability of the introduction of the international and keeps to be consistent outdoors the universe, merely as He became into in the previous the act of introduction. the different trouble-free place is that God is temporal. that doesn't advise that God is limited by ability of time, yet extremely that he's intimately regarding temporal issues. He subsequently has a prior, present, and destiny, merely like different temporal issues. in view that there is not any commencing up or end to His existence, this place is likewise many times stated as omnitemporality. There are 2 considerable arguments in want of God’s omnitemporality. First, there is the argument from God’s relation to the universe. while God introduced the universe into being, He stood in new relationships that He did not have in the previous. as quickly as the universe exists, He now “is the sustainer of” and “is co-existent with” the universe. He would have remained undying, yet in view that He created the universe He went with the aid of an extrinsic exchange. If God undergoes this modification, then actually He could be temporal. that's, we are in a position to communicate of a prior, present and destiny for God. in the previous He had one relation and in the present He has yet another relation. this supplies you the thank you to affiliate God with time, and that's each and all of the omnitemporal view of God demands.

Well crap, that's one they just can't answer, can they? "The universe can't make itself!" Cries the theist. But its only in religious teaching does it say that the universe started as nothing and then it came into being. Science has no such claim. The universe has always been. How can there be a beginning to time? What happened an hour before that?

Yes, by definition a creator must be more complex than its creation. Their argument hinges on it being more logical that an infinitely complex creator existed without creation than the basic elements of the universe.

Your reasoning is faulty. God does not need a creator. He has always existed and not only created the universe, but created time, as well. Even Einstein said that space and time are interdependent, created together. Peace.

You are a forth dimension slave. You can't comprehend existence out of it, so you will never understand the existence of God!
Out of the bounds of time, everything just IS. No beginning or end. Just NOW! What would appear to us as 'infinity.' Try to put you mind around that.

Could you please look in a dictionary and read the definition for hypocrisy. Because while you may have an interesting point to argue, I don't think God not needing a creator would be hypocrisy.

It's not "everything has to have a creator" (which is self-contradictory, since there would have to be something that creates before there could be something created), but "every CONTIGENT thing has to have a creator".

The universe doesn't need a creator, as far as we can tell.
If the universe needed a cause, it still doesn't need a sentient cause.
We really don't know how the universe came to be.

God is the eternal manifestation of everything. Quite complicated indeed. It is said that God created Himself out of nothingness. In nothingness exists everythingness. Becomes more complicated... =P
