Re:My own idea. (Score 1)

I myself think that atheism requires just as much faith as a person who believes in god. Who are you to know for a fact that something intelligent didn't create everything, something had to come from somewhere no one knows so why it is that it has to be nothing. Often, you will hear a believer ask "What caused the Big Bang?" and that is used to convince the athiest that a creator must exist to have brought the universe into existence. What puzzles me, is that the believer doesn't seem to have a problem with the question of "What created the creator?". Furthermore, we have to be careful how we define God. Christians believe that God is an intelligent, individual being, capable of emotion. Often you will hear things like "God is love", or "God is everything". In those cases, God does exist, just like if I were to say "God is the universe", I am simply redefining God to be something everyone agrees exists. Ultimately, the big question is "Why is there something, rather than nothing?" That question has so far eluded science and is the backbone of religion.
