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?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.in the military we got the phrase "Beyond My Paygrade". I am sure federal government employees hear that phrase too. But it may be "Beyond Our Understanding". Once the closed doors in our brains open and we use more power we may be able to figure things out. Until then... we are just little speckles in the universe.

Of all the possible explanations, a magical creator would be the absolute last one I would consider.

There is "something" bigger than me. The Universe is big. But the JC stuff is a bunch of bullshit....pure nonsense. I have no interest in the "God" in the Bible.....
and the Bible.....what a bunch of fairy tales.
Quantum fluctuation, inflation, and the inevitable results as the event begins to cool. For a more complete explanation, take six years of physics that is heavy in astrophysics/cosmology.
