    If you think the world needs a creator for explanation, surely something as amazing as the creator must need to have been created by an uber-creator and so on ad infinitum?

    Your explanation raises more questions than it answers, and hence explains nothing.
    almost word for word out of dawkins' book

    God is uncreated, has always been, has not come from anywhere is without beginning or end

    your misunderstanding is the infinite nature of god
    I see what you mean- who created god? a super god. who created god? a super super god. who created super super god? you get the idea
    so you have an infinite amount of gods
    or, you have one infinitely powerful God, which is what the Bible reveals

        Lets see what you have got.

        It is a little hard to pick from a list of nothing.

        Please also write why you think this is evidense of the existense of a "God".

          Strangely I came up with that thought all by myself. You see unlike you, I don't need a "Bible", as I can think for myself.

          So God is uncreated? Why not the world then?
          Explaining the existence of why God came to be there is much harder than explaining why the world came to be there.

              but hey come the oscars we can thank him for those "lucky" ones.......

              he finished creating on day 6, rested on day 7

                  PS I think it's very revealing that you use "Dawkins and his followers". That is indicative of most believers - they can't think for themselves and always need someone to follow. Unlike most Christians, atheists don't follow anyone.
                  I don't think that's true at all. You just have to look at how often the phrase "tooth fairy" appears in any religious discussion to know that many follow Dawkins. And plenty of communists follow Marx, whose writings have much to say about atheism.

                  I have no problem with that, but I don't agree with Dawkins argument that evolution (as a fact) inevitably leads to atheism as the only intellectually honest response. I think his arguments for that are fundamentally intellectually dishonest - and hugely hypocritical.

                      How can it be a day when the sun and moon weren't created until day 4 (IIRC).
