You apparently don't understand genetics, either. I arose as a result of the union of gametes from both a father and a mother. My mother nurtured my fetal form, but she didn't create it.
And as a matter of fact, after about nine months she got tired of this little leech and served it an eviction notice -- how's that for love?
Your mother needed to have a Mind. The fact she uses her body is no different to a person using his hands to make a work of art. So bottom line you could not have come into existence without your mothers mind.
As much as you needed a mother the big bang needs one. Was it mindless is the question. Does matter create the mind or mind create matter?
Does the concept of a circle or a line end if all matter comes to an end? The world of concept has a eternal nature to it and they are the stuff of minds.

Go back say 200 years and if you asked the question how did life start? Some one could say that's a stupid question why should life have a beginning it has always been. Same goes for the universe. However today these questions are valid and call for an answer.

So what if the Big bang and as such the universe is the creation of a Mind? Our own existence is the best evidence that this is a possibility.
That really crappy attempt at an analogy is a testament to our lowly origins. Your ape brain evolved over millions of years to communicate with and be able to relate to other humans. That's why you don't see a problem personifying the Universe, like a child drawing the Sun with a face. The Universe and human body are not alike - trying to apply your feeble intuition to cosmology is naive and futile. I hope you are a child, because then this kind of thinking could be considered "cute" - otherwise you just come across as a self-centered, ignorant and not at all smart.
Do you think its impossible for human or some other intelligence to develop to a stage where it can create an universe?
