In my mind, whether God or not doesn't answer any questions about creation. Sure, it tells us how our world came into being, but where did God come from? What is he made of? How did he get such powers that are completely outside any laws of physics or matter? I don't see how see how religious people can wrap their heads around the fact that God is just 'there'.
I had this conversation with a person handing out leaflets on the street when I was in Sydney:
Me: Our existance isn't what I want explained, can you explain Gods existance?
Person: Well, God operates outside anything we can experierence or comprehend, he has always existed and always will.
Me: So, he's just there?
Person: Yes.
Me: But isn't your main argument against athiesm that its impossible for things to just exist without a creator, therefore God is the only answer?
Person: Well, uh.. He's seperate from our world.
Me: If his world didn't need a creator, why does ours?
Person: Listen, I have to hand out these leaflets...
