One of the most common arguments by Christians, or indeed other believers, is that there must be a God, because the universe is so awesome that it cannot have come into existence without God.
One example can be seen here:
Well ... to the logical mind, this conclusion only makes things even less plausible. That is trying to explain something by adding a tinge of supernaturalness and superstition. Now that would explain the inexplicable!Think of all the millions of stars and planets, isn't it strange that the ONLY life is found in earth? How can this be? You'd think that some type of "life" would exist in other parts of the universe. Even if we try to imagine there is no God, the universe around us is a constant testimony of God's presence, power and goodness. There must be a God! It is the ONLY logical conclusion.
On the contrary. If you want to throw a god into the argument to explain that which you cannot fathom with your tiny human brain, then you are only complicating matters. For if this God was indeed the creator of things we cannot understand, then who created him? How did he come into existence? Does God have a God who created him? You see, this creates a whole lot more problems to solve. I think the Big Bang theory, the expansion of the universe and the evolution of all life on earth is infinitely more plausible than the existence of an almighty god who created it all.
