And as one of my new favorite physicists Gevin Giorbran echoes, "A creator simply moves the question of existence back one layer. Instead of 'why is there something rather than nothing,' we then ask 'why is there a creator rather than nothing?'" It is no more a solution the the problem than many worlds or many universes. And though he writes agnostic to creators, he asks, "Why then, couldn't a universe--a simpler object than the creator--also be uncreated?"-The great disparate authorites in theology always describe the creator as pure simplicity. This is one of the great divides: atheists want God complicated. Religions claim He isn't!

> Giorbran starts his book with a discussion about "nothing," and I think it will breathe some fresh life into our discussion as well... Your homework question is to come up with some thoughts about why "Nothing" is necessarily simpler, more primordial than "something." What is "nothing?" 
> (This one goes for you too David...)-Anything, something has a cause of existence. Nothing does not exist, has no cause and is necessarily simpler. Very simple and very complex are two poles of a comtinuum.
