Perhaps its all metaphor or a means for an ancient people to build a religion and a social identity.

Perhaps the Universe popped into existence out of nothing ... like magic.


Did anyone here make that claim?

We got 3 choices
1) Universe popped into existence out of nothing ... like magic.
2) Universe popped into existence out of nothing based on a supernatural and sentient first cause, AKA God.
3) We live by blind faith and say we don't know how the science works.



They are your three choices. You are setting your own terms. Meanwhile, ignoring other possibilities.
