"how can you say that the universe developed on its own?" think about it, why is it impossible for the universe to develop on its own, but possible for the "creator" who actually "created" all of it in the first place. out of the universe and God, i would think if there is a God, then he has to be more complex than the universe, right? my point is that it doesnt make sense to say it is impossible for the universe to develop by random chance and to say it is not impossible for something even more complex, God to develop randomly or to have been around forever. anyway, this isnt a rant, just a thought. what do you think?

I understand what you are saying but I think you should learn to simplify and clarify your thoughts
Paragraphs and sentence structure are important to clear thinking
I think there is a God but I also think He uses evolution to create within His universe.

The universe has been shown to have a beginning so we have to address the creation of the universe. We don't have that problem with God. Einstein and most other physicists had hoped that the universe could be shown to have always been in existence and therefore would not have a beginning. So with a single beginning of the universe, what is the probability that we would have a universe that could support life? It turns out to be a very low probability.
Also, nothing happens by random chance. Random chance really refers to our ignorance. Random chance is not a agent that causes something to happen. It just means that we are not able to predict it.

Answering "why" would be fruitless. It has been asked for millenia. But along one single line of discurse, Aristotle said "existence exists," yet still believed in a god or gods. Rand agreed "existence exists" but said this proved asking why was irrational. By the way, this is a tautology, one of those things people say explains nothing, but they are wrong. It, and other statements like it, are of both epistemological and metaphysical properties: in this case, it is the epistemological principle that existence is of the highest metaphysical value.
