OK. There is no god. But if there is no creator, no master plan, how do you explain the creation and expansion of the Universe, the birth and death of planets, stars, solar systems, and galaxies? And the creation of Life?

I think that the Universe as we are able to perceive it is the result of the innate characteristics of the relatively few elements that comprise all matter. Oxygen and Hydrogen under the right circumstances will always combine to form water which will always boil at a certain temperature under certain pressures and freeze under similar finite circumstances. But is this enough to explain creation? And doesn't it beg the question, From whence came the elements and what dictates their unique characteristics and interactions?

What suggests to you that god is the answer? where does he exist? Does he have a wife and children? why did he create this universe? why is it so imperfect if he or she had this infinite power?Now that he created us what does he /she expect to happen and why? Who or where did this god come from?

I like this question because it dives deep at the heart of why people believe in religions to begin with. Every religion is an answer to why we are here, and Throught time some beliefs fall short. I am an Atheist. Only because I appreciate sciences methods of reserving the right to answer such a large question until we truly know. I think its acceptiable to not believe in Gods as that's a rather stone age belief (I mean there are some religions that have millions and some have a few) they seem to lack consistency. But with science we see small subatomic interactions, such as in plants, animals, and life. That create something large then themselves. An ultimately that's the goal of life it seems. To survive, to make something larger then ourselves.
Where it all comes from will be answered in time, as it appears the answers may come the closer we look into the small and large of the cosmos.

Nature is- there is no explanation of "how" or "why"- and if Nature is cognitive, it has never sent a messenger to tell us anything.

There are three things required for combustion: fuel, oxygen and temp above combustion. Yesterday Quara had an explanation about how the sun 'burns' without oxygen. Let's be honest; I got lousy marks in chemistry- and most of it I did not understand. No, god did not do it; you are trying to be funny- aren't you?

let's face it, the shit is big......but that doesn't mean Jesus was the "only begotten son of God".....I really believe the "Son of God"......was and is, always will be the SUN, that rises every morning. Egyptology. Without the sun, there would be nothing on earth. The whole thing started.....like millions of years ago......
