what created the universe?
3 comments

Why is "God did it" a better answer than "it just happened" ? If you prefer the "God did it" you then have to account for where God came from and end up with a set of answers that could just as easily be applied to the universe itself. Believe what you want, but this isn't some kind of gotcha.
what’s the difference between “god did it” and “it just happened”? you’re just hand waving over the question of “how did it just happen?”. matter just magically appeared?

See? It's a crap argument.

Don’t know, but religions created to reign in the masses probably don’t explain it.

There were many religions before the Abrahamic ones.

how does religion being wrong disprove the existence of god?
Will concede that, if you can get from "there is no proof of not-god" to supporting any claim about the nature of reality according to faith or scripture.
No one needs to disprove, because no religion has ever had proof of an existence of a god(s).
Same thing that created numbers.
