| to explain that this Universe. Adding a God doesn't explain anything, it just defers explanation to a higher level. If you explain the Universe by saying "there's a God who made it", how do you then explain that God? You're right back where you started: not having an explanation for why things are the way they are -- only you've added another level of complexity to the equation by invoking a God. |
