Religion is a hypothesis.

"Something apparently exploded. You know, like a bomb."

LMAO...

Like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat...

Bwaaahaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

 

That's hilarious, the idea that your superstition precedes morality. There are examples of morality in the animal kingdom. I saw a film clip of a hippo chasing off a crocodile that had attacked an impala. Tell me, at what temple did the hippopotamus worship?

 

So you consider that Hippo to be a moral being?? What temple have you been too?

Look at this!

(Reciprocal altruism, however, is the rule—for a bat that fails to share will in turn be denied when the tables are turned.)

 

+1

Some theists can't conceive of morality without a threat/reward component like a god smiling or frowning at various mortal behavior.

 

You describe a Creator as unknowable but you know It does not exist in a Universe such as this one, and you know It is not a personality, and you know It created and orders the Universe. So that Creator is not actually unknowable, as you know things about It. This is getting like no belief is belief .

If it is illogical to think the Universe just happened as you say, it is equally illogical to think a Creator just happened. And a Creator which has always existed, begs the question then why wouldn’t the Universe have always existed.

When arguing the Universe needed to be created, you have no logical grounds to argue why a Creator wouldn’t need to be created.

From the explanation you give it is a little obvious that the "organizing force that created and orders the Universe" , a Creator, fits the role of the Universe itself.

 

Too damn funny for words.

 

what was your point again …oh yea , that’s right , you don't have one

 

Nice argument for intelligent design amongst reinventing Hinduism and Buddhism amongst others.

Like I said you fools are too funny for words.

 

Thanks for deflating the big bang theory as relevant or accurate.

Or do you still prefer the old " magical something came out of nothing " schtick?
