Please explain the following, without relying on scripture: Where did “God” come from?
I find it remarkable that religious people can’t find any other answer to the origins of the universe than that some super guy in the sky made it all from absolutely nothing, and they completely discount any theory that doesn’t include some all-powerful bearded dude in the clouds.
Personally, I just think humankind isn’t advanced enough to know about the origins of the universe. It’s okay to say “We don’t know.”

In other words...Please throw out a perfectly adequate explanation that corresponds with the human condition and human experience...that accords with the created universe and the moral nature of man...and reject even the possibility of acknowledging there is a spiritual (and moral) underpinning to the universe...an origin beyond the capacity of man to measure with physical instruments even though he routinely experiences spiritual phenomena.
Sure, OK.
As Francis Schaeffer titled his book: “God is There, and He is Not Silent.”
Why should we have a problem with His explanation of the universe He created?
I'm glad then that the explorations of "lesser mortals" has prevailed in the West across history,
who understand the universe better than you think.
"If I knew God I'd be Him."
