DESTROY NOAH'S ARK

[Chas]

You are not being logical. "I don't know" is the only rational answer.

We have good evidence that something like the Big Bang occurred, we have no evidence of multiverses or gods.

I don't believe any of the explanations, but I only seriously consider the ones for which there is evidence.
I also summarily dismiss the ones that are non-logical or contradictory such as a steady-state universe or one that involves a creator that is eternal.

But you stated

And your descriptions of what your god can do are indistinguishable from magic.

mag·ic
ˈmajik/
noun

1. the power of apparently influencing the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.
   

It seems to me that the "big bang" falls under that definition. So if you agree with the "big bang" theory (and it sounds like you lean in that direction) then explain how the universe creating itself out of nothing is not as ridiculous or as "magical" as God doing it?

Which part of "I don't know" do you not understand?
It's really simple - I don't know what preceded the Big Bang. I don't know if there was a Big Bang - however there is convincing evidence that there was a beginning to our universe and it looked a lot like what is described be the Big Bang.

However, believing in an eternal being is not rational because there is not only no evidence of such, it leads to more questions than it answers.
