Reply #39: Why not say...

that the Flying Spaghetti Monster belched the universe into existence?

Or that an invisible pink unicorn pooped it out?

See, you're missing the central point here. Postulating a "god" at the very least adds nothing to the explanation, and at worst makes it unnecessarily complex. What you're simply doing is taking the existing mystery and adding ANOTHER layer of mystery, and saying it's the same thing.

Well, let's apply that to all scientific theories, shall we?

Gravity is the force that exists between two objects that have mass. AND is the result of angels pushing things together.

Mental illness is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. AND by demons speaking in your ear.

Evolution is the change in allele frequency in a population over. AND is caused by God invisibly tinkering with our DNA to produce the results he wants.

Any clearer?
