I find it much less plausible that the laws of nature/physics would ever allow for anything to come from nothing, than for there to be something above nature involved. With neither having any proof, it would honestly take more faith for me to believe the former.
Really? So where did this creator god come from?
It's argument from ignorance mated with special pleading. "I can't imagine how anything can possibly come from nothing without having to be created by a powerful, intelligent entity which came from nothing". Even if you fudge things to allow this god to have always existed, you are still faced with having to account for its origin and nature. See, sticking a label saying "God" onto a mystery has absolutely zero explanatory power; it tells us nothing about how the god created the Universe, by what mechanism, for what reason etc. It's a skyhook in a Universe of cranes.
And even if I have more faith than you in these things, didn't you just get done telling us that you believe in the existence of your god by faith in the absence of material evidence? Is faith a good thing or a bad one? Especially since there actually is far more evidence to indicate a natural, physical cause of the Universe than there has ever been for any god.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
