[QUOTE"FrumiousBandersnatch, post: 70821371, member: 241055"]Fortunately, it's not just random chance. There are some basic consistencies in the way things interact, that we derive physical laws from, and the consensus is that it didn't all come from nothing. Where it did come from, nobody yet knows, but you could call it God if that works for you.[/QUOTE]
Where did the matter come from that created the universe?
If the universe is eternal, then why entropy?
The quantum fields, that you're probably referring to as "consistencies", don't answer anything.
In fact they only bring up more questions.
It is random chance, the universe we perceive now, cannot answer for the non-universe that existed for it.
The laws here, cannot answer the start of the universe we're in.
The conclusion that it is literately impossible for it to have come outta nowhere, should at least put you in the Deist category.
Anthony flew knew that, so did Edward chopek (that was his name right? wrote a book about his conversion not long ago).
The idea that the universe was not intelligently designed, and in fact nothing created it.
I'm sorry, but no amount of convincing is ever going to get me into that head space.
If I wasn't a Christian, I could never be an Atheist.
