Throughout the ages, your original question "if not god then how" has been asked about fire, thunder and lightning, birth, death, disease, good and evil, etc.

Hello, Barry, while we probably all agree that “man”, even though we may be reasonably bright, does not have all the answers, there is very strong evidence that our universe came from nothing, in other words, the universe is not eternal. It therefore makes more sense to me that there was a Creator than that all of this “just happened”. Does it make sense that there was nothing (whatever that means) and then suddenly there was this “big bang” and 13.9 billion years later here we are or that there was (and always has been) a supreme being that caused the Big Bang to take place?
Even though there may be no “proof” that God exists, I believe there’s more evidence that He does than any of the other beliefs (myths, if you will) that I’ve heard bandied about. There *is* a universe (or multiverses perhaps) so therefore it/they had to come into being by some means or another. I don’t think that “things just happen”. I believe in causality, don’t you?
