1+1=2 (The nature of a \'Creator\')
I'm a newbie and I'm sure you all have heard something very similar to what I'm going to address.-I was raised a Methodist and was very active in the church up until I was 17 or 18. I slowly found myself questioning all that I had been told. I became self aware, so to speak. Common sense and deductive reasoning led me to leave the church.-I immersed myself in science and fact, but never could let go of the notion that there is a creator of some kind. This leads me to the subject title. 1+1=2. We all know this. This is the foundation of more complex mathematics. -From my point of view the 1's represent the components of the Big Bang and the 2 is the result. I just typed that simple math problem. I didn't wish it to appear or wait for it to complete itself. I made it happen. The same goes for the Big Bang. I can swallow what has said to have occurred after the Big Bang, but who/what caused the BANG to occur?-Simply stated, you cannot get something from nothing. This common belief leads me to believe in a creator.-Thank you for putting up with my ramble.
