Look how vast and detailed our universe is. Look at the beauty, look at the wonder. Listen to the roar of the thunder, gaze at the majesty of the mountain ranges. How could it not have some creator, I understand maybe not the Christian God, but surely someone played a hand in it? If the universe just happened randomly, it's appearence would be spuratic, not rhyme or reason for anything. But despite our universe's flaws, it's clearly something awe-inspiring for the human mind to comprehend.
THat's called an argument from incredulity. "I don't understand how so, therefore . . . God!"
Doesn't work.
"I don't know." Is a perfectly acceptable answer. The great thing about science is that this answer becomes, "We don't know YET!"
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:
"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
