I fathom that all the time - and frankly, a universe with a God is only more confusing to ponder than a universe without a God. The origins of the universe are unknown to me (for now :) but I simply can't replace one infinite with another infinite - that does me no good.
I think there is something beautiful about a nature that could produce collections of atoms that could ponder their own origin. I think it almost defiles that beauty to simply cast it all aside and replace it with something we've anthropomorphized into an answer. There is something mysterious about nature that we do not yet understand, and who knows, we may never understand it. But we do no favor to ourselves by ignoring the true wonder of nature in favor of another enigma - one that has NO hope of ever being truly understood.
Yeah,right, but then..Where do my inalienable rights come from??
