Neither, God is a supernatural being, not a man, not by any stretch of the imagination. How does matter form itself out of nothing? Do you believe the universe has always existed? What is believable is that an all powerful, all knowing, ever present God created the universe out of nothing. To me believing that the universe has always existed would take a ton of faith far more than I have.

So it's more believable to you that some supernatural, all powerful, all knowing being created the universe from nothing? More believable than a universe that always existed in one form or another (oh and always existing in one form or another doesn't mean created out of nothing). I don't believe exactly, I just find that conclusion more believable than some magical being. I don't know how this universe came about and nor do you, it's just I find god a less believable conclusion. There is no evidence to suggest that a god exists at all.

It is actually more likely that the universe formed on it's own naturally (much like this planet and the solar system) than some being creating it out of nothing. If this planet can form on it's own without outside assistance then why can't the universe? God is just a concept created by the minds of men to try and fill in missing gaps. When we don't know something, we are too quick to say goddidit. It's irrational.
God is a baseless assertion and it has no credibility....at all! Which is why it's so quickly dismissed/rejected.
