I consider myself somewhat of an agnostic. I completely understand why we don’t believe in the gods of certain religions, especially those of Christianity and Islam.
However I’m talking about a general creator of it all, not one affiliated with any man-made religion.
I know this is deism, and that’s actually what I’m talking about.
Even though I don’t believe in the gods of man’s religions I still find it very hard to believe that emotion, consciousness, and the ability to even ponder these things is simply a result of chemical processes in the brain. I can’t help but think that my mind is part of something more than just this nonliving Universe. I myself doubt the notion that I, a conscious, thinking human, am just a product of an accident.
I want the atheist opinion. Can we automatically rule out a creator?
