I start with the idea “something” has always existed, because something does not come from nothing unless you redefine nothing as being something, which still means something only comes from something.
This “something” might only be energy (a near infinite amount of energy to take care of entropy), since matter has been shown to come from energy that leaves space and time, but we have today intelligence, so intelligence would have to come from energy also. (It could be energy and space, but some believe space is an illusion).
We can imagine and see to some degree intelligence coming from intelligence with smarter and smarter computers, but how could it ever come from just pure energy?
We might also imagine even our own intelligence coming from super intelligence and energy, so are we the first intelligence made from just energy or was there a super intelligence before us which made us?
If energy alone could make intelligence than with an infinite amount of time before man comes into the picture, there would most likely be intelligence and even super intelligence, but that also means we would be most likely the result of a previous super intelligence (God).
I really do not see why it takes more “faith” to trust in the eternal existence of energy without God versus energy with God, especially see why humans are here and what God would have to be like.
