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?

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......

I don't have to explain it. My lack of answers, doesnt change reality. Anyones inability to concieve how it could purely be the result of natural causes, doesnt change reality. The nature of the universe is the exact same now as it was before there was anyone to think about it, as it will be after there is nobody left to think about it. How can you call existance "creation", after starting off with "OK. There is no god." Just that kind of language "begs the question", as creation implys a creator. Asking why things are the way they are, and how they got that way, are both great questions, but it hasnt even been demonstrated that they even could be any other way. The whole "if there is no creator" part of your question, seems more a demand that at least something needs to be crammed into the gaps if not god. Well sorry, we don't have those answers, thats why there is a gap we don't shove god into in the first place.

Point taken. By "creation" I mean the "springing into existence." Science has determined an age for the planet, the solar system, the galaxy and even the Universe. There was a beginning and there will be an end. A "creation" by whatever forces.
