When I provided you with scientific theories on the origins of life and the big bang, you insulted me, and then claimed it was "a miracle of nothing."
My question, in response, was the quoted question.
To rephrase, what created the creator?
And, we don't need to prove how the creator was created.

It's Catch 22 and your call.
Your question does not make sense.

Let's tackle the origin of life first. The main theories are panspermia and abiogenesis, I suggest you look them up.
Panspermia says that life on earth originated in outer space before coming to earth. The general consensus is that it came on some sort of meteorite or comet. This is not to be confused with directed panspermia, which theorizes that l ...[text shortened]... ng in the first single celled organisms, infinitely more primitive than modern day bacteria.
Seems I provided a little more than "Nothing" on the origins of life didn't I?
Edit: you'll find that on the bottom of page 33.

Why do you think we do?

We do not need to explain the designer.

It is logical to think if there is a designer, someone or something had to design that designer and someone else had to design the designers designer, etc.
It is just a lot simpler to have the universe run itself without some entity stuck in some loop continually babysitting a universe. If such an entity has to continually have some kind of cosmic feedback to keep it going, it is not much of a design.
A much better design would be such a designer knew everything about matter, energy, time, dimensions, gravity, quantum physics and such, and knowing all that, just roll the creation dice and let her rip. No need for microsecond by microsecond baby sitting each atom as you must think such a deity would operate. I can tell you this: If I was that deity I would think I would have MUCH better things to do than baby sit a whole frigging universe microsecond by microsecond, maybe thinking about creating another universe with slightly different parameters, speed of light half of what it is now, something like that, being a creative deity rather than this puffed up man made travesty of a deity.

Originally posted by wildgrassIf faith is factored in, why look for evidence if not to strengthen your beliefs while also batting away anyone and anything that doesn't think the way you think? He's just trying to further his own agenda, not have an intelligent discussion.
Explaining things is what scientists do.
Since He needs no explanation, then why cadge for proof He exists? Isn't faith sufficient?

I think he decided he didn't want to play this particular game, no posts for 4 days.
All of you will make every effort to either exlpain it away, or ignore, anything that may 'seem' like design.
Science is your god.
Your own ego is your god.
