So I take it you don't have an explanation as of right now?
He's always existed or is a being that is not limited to the universal laws/dimensions we are. You can make the argument that the matter before the big bang just existed, but the degree of error is so incredibly small. You can believe what you want, but I'll take probability. Some being that created the universe and set constants v.s. an incredibly small chance that matter, which just existed, expanded in the exact manner to produce conditions capable of supporting human life.
I never brought Adam and Eve or Christianity into this. I was going to get into the moral law argument, but I think it would be fruitless.
Ancient alien theory makes more sense and can be backed by more evidence than a collection of writings from countless authors, translated countless times, and changed to meet the needs of the ruling class at the time.
I never brought Christianity into this. I'm just curious how atheists answer certain questions that do not make logical sense to me.
Always existing doesn't work. He had to come from somewhere. Even if that is a higher dimension where he has power over us, he still had to come from somewhere. God didn't think himself into existence. If God exists without a physical body as is certainly implied, what image was man created in?
Again, ancient alien theory explains all this a lot better than the standard retort of "He just is"
I will for the life of me never understand how it's logical to accept a supreme power, but it's illogical to believe in controlled chaos or rubber band theory.
