Ok I will say I have no philosophical background and only a basic understanding of science. So if there is no creator then how did the universe come about ? There is a comment about the materialist view point which seems to go -- 'just give us one "free" miracle and we will explain it all, in a materialist way. That one free miracle is "the big bang".
Then without giving the free miracle (because a miracle would have to presuppose a Creator) how did all the universes material - come about then ? And I mean it sincerely because I just parrot what seems to make sense to me and I have no original ideas on the subject. Its all too complex for me.
If you have heard a solution to that using the materialist view point, or any other one, I would be very interested in hearing the theory !
