There is no evidence that a point of origin is necessary to anything. Human anxiety requires a point of origin, not physics.
It's big bangs all the way back.
Apparently CR hasn't ever heard of string theory.

Some people look at the dogma associated with a creator, throw the baby out with the bath water and dismiss it as Mythology. That's what I don't understand. Why is it so hard to believe that a being exsists that is more advanced than us and might have the capability of creating an entire universe? I have considered life without a diety but find it highly unlikely as there must be a top of the cosmic food chain based on what I see on earth. That is what God is, the top of the food chain,the highest being,how can there not be one?
That's exactly what it is. Mythology.
The placement of our species relative to all others in the multiverse is irrelevant.
You assume the existence of a creation, so you look for a creator and point of origin. The assumption is anthrocentric. It's your tiny mind that requires a point of origin, a beginning.
Quantum physics says there's no such thing as nothing. Given any point in space-time, something is there, and has always been there.
Creation itself is a myth.
There you go again, trying to understand things in human terms. You are generalizing from the specific.

Ahaw...who made him? Does he have a patent or at least a copyright? Can I franchise it?
Why would he care? When is the last time you left a tablet on an ant hill?
String theorists don't posit a steady state universe. Nice try, though.
Anyone can start their own Jesus con operation There is no copyright or patent law to limit you. Everyone can talk in tongues, handle snakes and be a mediator to the imaginary and supernatural.

It is hard to believe that a being exists because no evidence has been found to support it. Gods are man made.
That's because you qualified it with "for me". You could also write "for me 2 + 2 = 5" or, "in my math system, 2 + 2 = 5". Just because "for you" there is a creator doesn't mean there is a creator. Just because a delusional person thinks there is a pink elephant in the room doesn't mean there is a pink elephant in the room.
But if it makes you happy to think that way, that's fine. Happiness trumps reality. I'd rather be happy and wrong than unhappy and correct.
Science and religion are both man made. The evidence for God's existence is everywhere.

It is not Yahweh but the followers of Yahweh I think are frauds.
Do unto other nations what you would want other nations to do unto us.
I've never seen any.
If I saw a knife, does that necessarily mean it is evidence you murdered someone?

You're ignoring what's there. Try a mirror.

Are you ignoring chemistry and biology?
Are you ignoring the human mind that's capable of understanding chemistry and biology?

Where?
No.
Next question?

why not back these statements up with...anything. just a little someting. an example, a train of thought, anything more than an "is to!" will do.
