A simple “we don’t know yet” is enough for rational people. Who on earth comes up with SOME BIG INVISIBLE MAGIC CREATURE DID IT! LET’S FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WANTS! I mean, seriously?

Stranger still to be the only creature on the planet with the inclination to ponder such things yet refuse to do so.

Just exactly why do you have a problem with a superior being?

Just on this earth how many are far beyond you (and me) in intellectual capacity?

Just on this earth how many are far beyond you (and me) in power and influence?

Reasonable people? While you yourself cannot account for rationality itself because your world view precludes the existence of abstract, universal invariants upon which reason depends?

Yes, seriously. The laws of logic are not material in nature - they do not extend into space. As universal, they are not experienced to be true. As invariant, they don't fit into what materialists like you tell us about the constantly changing nature of the universe. Since an atheist universe cannot account for the laws of logic in the first place, you have no rational basis for your prescriptive claims about abstract, universal, invariant laws or standards of thought upon which reason depends.

Since God is the necessary precondition for all logic, reasoning and morality, you have to hypocritically borrow from our world view to even try to begin to malign and caricature belief in God as being the result of childish superstition.

Get real.

Cordially,
