Really, religion is a way of tricking the selection process. People with ****ty lives might have killed themselves in the past, without religion. Now they turn to "God" and propogate more ****ty existences. Great for the species.
I cannot say whether there is something out there that started everything, I am not able to answer that question, nor is anyone else. I can say though, that there is (invoking the limit concept) zero chance the Judeo-Christian "God" and the Bible are truths.

God forbid you should ever need to believe in something "more" to get you through a difficult situation in life. We all experience pain and we don't always have "scientific" answers to all of our experiences. I'm not a religous man but I also don't think that guys in white labcoats can write me a complete manual to living.
