Does it matter? If it's reasonable to believe that all the stuff of the universe always existed, I don't think there's a great leap from there to the belief that a Mind that always existed created the universe.

Does it matter?

Given that humans have worshipped thousands of deities -- many of them mutually exclusive -- throughout recorded history, yes.

If it's reasonable to believe that all the stuff of the universe always existed, I don't think there's a great leap from there to the belief that a Mind that always existed created the universe.

The "stuff of the universe" is directly observable. How can we observe or even infer this "Mind"?
