  1. Why do these religious dudes try to sound all ultra-scientific, but when it comes to the (glaring) question of: "ok, if you can't have something from nothing without a creator / designer, then who / what created the designer?", then they just wave their hands, call foul and say that question is off limits, irrelevent, unanswerable or whatever. Theirs is a non-argument, a non-explantion. If you're gonna say "you can't have something from nothing", then that applies to your GOD as well, please explain how he came, intellect and all, into existence. Also, where is the evidence that GOD lies beyond this universe / reality? Why could he not be a creator within the Universe? And if that's the case, he could have a scientic explanation after all (simulation argument for example) and we regress back to your "can't get something from nothing" argument. Infinite regression. But ok, let's say for the sake of argument that god lies without the universe. Then please explain the nature of the interface that allows him to influence the universe. Where does that boundary lie? What is it's nature? Is it hard or fuzzy? At what point does it become within or without the universe? Is it like a big hand coming out of a mirror? When you think about it it becomes all the more preposterous and incoherent. Why bother with all the scientific / philosophical claptrap? Why not just be honest and say this is what i believe because I was brought up to believe it, and to stop believing it would cause me great problems in my life with regard to my family and standing in society, and it would mean a fundamental rejection of people in my life who i love, respect and / or fear. And that I deeply fear death and the possibility that life has no "ultimate" purpose, so am willing to believe, despite any evidence, that the contrary is true.
