This video essentially summarizes my beliefs in a way better than I could explain. For evidence that order can arise out of chaos, look at langton's ant. -
@Swansven yeah of course universe has underlying things we dont see that make this place work but the main thing is who created those

@Swansven Im not 100% sure if this is going to answer your question as Im not sure if i fully understand it so forgive me if it doesn’t, but as we are humans we only see things as having a beginning and an end (birth and death) so we are unable to fully comprehend a being that has existed for eternity and will carry on existing for eternity - to us eternity and immortality is too vast as a concept for us to be able to ever understand since we are just mortals.
God was not created or designed he has just always been there, thats what I believe at least but I also understand that believing that can be very hard. -

The creator does not exist as a "thing" or entity because a thing would have to have been created by something. This means the creator would have to be nothing or nothingness, seeing as all things that exist are a product of creation. If you filter out everything that is classified as a thing and part if creation you are left with a void or nothingness.

I think yes, because nature is perfect, and it could not have appeared by chance.
Just as nature created us in a way our body tells us when we are hungry, or our instincts tell us what is good for us and what is not, the same way nature gave to us an obligation and people are predisposed to believe in supreme beings and the afterlife. Different tribes around the world that have never interacted have many similarities in their myths. Humans has this from birth and it is not indoctrinated or carried solely through power-sustained hierarchies.
I'd be glad to hear your opinion.

@nochik41 no, and there’s no reason to think that there is. No animal thinks that there is a god, and even if there is he won’t care if we believe in him or not. Reality is just your mind projecting itself, so how could there be someone more powerful than you in this world?
