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!
