Hello All,

I just found this forum while searching for my name (this is really scary). In the meantime I got a little bit distance to the religious thing, however I don't see any resonable explanation for a universe without God. What Do You think?

Best Regards
Ralf
As an agnostic, my take on it is that maybe there's a higher power behind existence and maybe there isn't. But even if we conclude that there must be something that created the universe as we know it, that doesn't tell us anything about that creator. In other words, we don't know which religion, if any, is the right one, or what the creator wants from us, if anything.

And for most practical purposes, that's no different than atheism.

Hi John,

Well, I think I had a problem to express my thoughts in words. However You are describing it much better.

Best Regards
Ralf

To answer your question, there's no reasonable explanation for a universe with God. It's why all religions seem to spend so much effort convincing people that faith (I.e. belief despite knowing full well there's no evidence for it) is a good thing.
