The Creator Argument

New idea, new thought.

The biggest argument religious people make is that there must be a creator behind these almost impossible creations, someone who started it all.

Imagine showing someone who has never heard of technology a screen that can project anything. It would be something unfamiliar; he wouldn't know its rules or how it was built. He might assume it was something supernatural, like a god.

Now imagine teaching him every detail about the device, showing him how everything inside is connected and makes something seemingly unreal work. Life is the same, but on a larger scale. We still have much to discover and learn about our universe. Just because we don't know something doesn't mean we should assume it only makes sense if supernatural beings are involved.
