To believe the Universe appeared from nothing takes greater faith than believing in Christianity.
And God making it out of nothing makes any better sense? Also attributing the creation of the universe to God doesn't really solve any grand mystery either. Because the next logical question simply becomes how did God come into existence.You are merely kicking the can up the road a little ways.
No actually, God does not require a prior first cause. The Universe is physical. The universe is subject to the laws of physics. A prior cause is not required because you or I want one. The physics says the universe requires a first cause.
God is by definition not subject to physics. He is not a physical first cause. God is a supernatural first cause.
There is positive evidence that the universe has a supernatural first cause. There is zero evidence the universe has physical fist cause.
