>>12637345>Stop being dishonest, I never spoke of a magical man, I spoke of an origin.God as portrayed by religion is a far cry from a simple cause to the universe. In fact, simply causing the universe implies no qualities of an all powerful, all knowing, all being god.
>For there to be no origin to life is absurd.I suspect you mean an origin for the universe. Why is it more absurd for the universe to have no cause than for the cause of the universe to have no cause? It seems like an arbitrary place to stop, no?
The chain of causality either goes on infinitely, or it stops somewhere. It does not seem rational to arbitrarily go 1 step beyond the first known cause, as you could just as easily go 2 steps, or 3, or 4.
