I do not understand however why people accept arguments such as 'Christians are right because the bible says so' or 'I know god exists, if god isn't real why do I feel god everyday?'
The cosmological argument amounts to "I feel god is the only entity that explains the existence of the universe". Sure, it sounds sophisticated, but it's not much different in quality from the argument from Bible or personal experience/feeling/miracles.
It is because at least it poses the question of knowing what was there before the big bang and our universe. But still isn't near enough. The bible argument is what annoys me most, and the argument of 'But God is real I know it I have proof!'
