"It is neither rational or logical to believe all around you was simply created by mere chance. "

Sure, but it's perfectly logical to think that a diety waved it's mighty hand (tentacle?) and caused it all.

One is not required to prove a negative.

extelecom, please do me a big favor and explain this.....

It is neither rational or logical to believe all around you was simply created by mere chance.

I'm assuming then, that you think that a god of some sort had to have created the universe, your argument being that the universe could not have "just happened."

Using the same argument though, how do you explain how your god came about? According to your line of reasoning, god couldn't have "just happened." Who created your god? I'd like to know.

And please don't go on to talk about other things. I asked two pretty direct questions (both essentially the same), and I'd like to hear the answers to them, and nothing else.

I'll tell you a little secret. Karin mentioned the big bad wolf and Santa Claus, and believe it or not, I think man created those images. Another secret and this one is awful. I think that man created an image of a god when there never really was one. Native American Indians had it right when they created theirs. At least they had gods that allegedly did something good, like bring rain and sunshine. They'd do their dances, and sure enough, eventually rain or sunshine would appear.
