Evolution Deceit

[Hermit]

I've never understood how assuming a creator explains anything. If it's too difficult to imagine life coming to being without a creator, wouldn't it be even harder to imagine an entity capable of creating said life? Where did she/he/it come from? Created by the super-creator?

The very idea boggles the mind.

The creator must have always existed, in which case it should be no harder to believe that the universe (in another form) has always existed.

As does the idea that the creator could "always" have existed.
Eternity from now on is not that hard to imagine - however, if the creator always existed, then an infinite timespan already must have passed for him. He would therefore live "at the end of an eternity", which happens to be right now. That's quite an oxymoron and really hard to grasp.

Anyway...many (not all!) creationists seem to enjoy the odds game (despite of it being a-posteriori and therefore totally pointless).

What are the odds of God creating the world at exactly this part of eternity where He did it? One moment in time out of an infinite number of possible ones. That's 1 : infinity against it, by their own logic, which easily surpasses any odds against evolution which they come up with
