How did the Universe Come to be? (my beliefs)

[Sword of Christ]

We already know what special pleading is, you don't need to post such a vivid example of it.

No an eternal context without a beginning avoids the issue of what created whatever it is that exists. Traditionally we call this eternal aspect of existence God though you can still say it's some kind of unintentional purposeless natural force if you really want to. Ignore all the complex natural balance of the physical constants and the overwhelming power of the human experience of God if you like. But we can at least establish the existence of some kind of a God or eternal element the universe exists within.
