The Problem with Christians

[robvalue]

God exists (assumption 1), and he predated our reality (assumption 2). He can act without having any sort of time to act in (assumption 3, apparent contradiction to itself and to assumption 2) and managed to create our reality (assumption 4) out of nothing (assumption 5). He also "created time" (assumption 6).

And...after all that, we're no closer to understand any of it. We have no mechanism, no model, no practical applications, not even a vague idea about how any of it works or could even work. And God now has to answer to all the questions that our reality did.

"He's just there, he doesn't need a creator" (assumption 7; you could just assume this about reality, and you're done in one assumption rather than 7).

We have a magical story, because some people just can't imagine things happening any other way. They think it's the default position, if they can discredit the current established theory.
