'I don't know' is not only a perfectly valid answer, it's the only honest one (not that someone can't have an opinion on the available hypotheses). Agnostico made a whole thread about the argument from ignorance.

Logic and sound reason would suggest a creator though.

RE: No reason justifies disbelief.
You guys realize that Catharsis posted in shout box that no God exists, I think it's just a long winded troll.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Without credible supporting evidence your creator is fantasy.

That's fine. I'm happy where I am in life with the creator.

Yes, I had to make them aware of their ignorance.

Show your work or that's just another unsupported assertion. If you've managed to do what no theologian before you has ever done, and produced an argument for the existence of a creator deity with sound premises and no fallacies that stands up to scrutiny. I'd really love to see it.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Everything has a beginning and an end here.

A beginning would suggest a creator.

creator
/kriːˈeɪtə/
noun
noun: creator; plural noun: creators
a person or thing that brings something into existence.



If something has no beginning, how can it have an end?

Thanks for having a genuine go at it. Sadly, your first statement is a mere assertion, so is your second unless your definition of creator is so broad that a vacuum fluctuation would count. The last line is a question, and the only thing you could get out an 'I don't know' answer is an argument from ignorance.

Incidentally, the observations and math suggest that we live in a universe without end, it won't ever 'stop', just keep getting bigger and more boring.

Does that mean it has no beginning either?
