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?

Life is simply the accidental result of a merging of substances and forces in a particular place at at particular time. -- just as mutations -- the vehicle of evolution -- are similar occurrences.

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?

The answer to your question is “ I don’t know”. That is Agnostic!
