'unner, on what evidence to you regard the 'Creator' as obvious ? '

anyone who thinks rationally knows that creation does not just happen. It requires a Creator. Laws of the universe require a Law Maker. Anyone denying these basic facts needs much faith.

@runner

So who or what created the Creator?

'So who or what created the Creator? '

that is where reasoned faith comes plantagenet. Our Creator has always been. This is the opposite to the chance faith presented by alternative views.

Thanks runner

Your response of "Our Creator has always been." introduces the concept of infinite duration, that is no beginning or end.

Hence there was no creation or need for any creator.

The universe and what came before the Big Bang has simply existed forever.

Thanks again

Hi Pete,

Just to modify your statement:

' ... The universe and what came before the last Big Bang, perhaps an infinite number of times, has simply existed forever.'

Incredibly difficult to get one's head around, but a bit more sensible, if only because it dispenses with any irrelevant recourse to the supernatural.
