Do you see any benefits to religious faith?

[Arkilogue]

But do you still think a creator being made everything from nothing, yada yada yada?  Time to get real here, no god anywhere ever made one physical thing - let alone everything.

No. In a highly abridged nutshell, I think God 'created' a nothing space in the middle of All-Thingness (the infinite body of God) and little bits of thingness got flung around in the new space created.

I believe that mass is neither created nor destroyed. I believe what was "created" was a void space for preexistent matter to move through thus beginning relative time.

The universe was not created "ex nihilo" the space of the universe is the "nihilo" created in order for time to happen.
