Why do you assume it has to be a person creating it?...you need proof to back up that claim

To all unbelievers, here's a simple yet profound question that merits an honest answer.
That is:
Should not the existence of "something" uncreated and infinite proves the existence of "someone" uncreated and infinite - God?

At first my answer was a simple, "No". Then, at second and third glance, your question makes about as much sense as it's supposed to and that you're likely used to experiencing.

If it helps - absolutely, yes. I could probably have figured out what your question meant, but the language wasn't enough for me to distinguish your exact meaning.
If you could put it in a simpler form, I'm sure my slow mind would be better able to make sense of it an answer it. I feel as though you asked people who don't believe in a god or creator why they didn't and how they couldn't, in the face of what you likely consider to be proof?
If I got it right, let me know.

I dont know this is just a guess but, maybe space-time is what god is or maybe just a part of what god is.
Peace.

I would say then, my answer is I think my mind is incapable of comprehending the existence of a supreme being. I like the idea of it and I learn in that direction, but I also don't discount there is no creator.
There's no proof one way or the other and when I see threads like yours I wonder why someone hasn't yet realised it's futile to bother with the question in the first place. I understand that it's your field of interest and I assume you have faith that whatever you believe the creator to be does exist and I respect that. It might not have been evident after the tone I took in my initial reply.
I never-the-less still think the question is pointless and bound to only cause friction. Even if there were proof - imagine that - everyone would probably all still bicker and fight over what kind of creator it is, the story and history etc.

I wonder if the answer to the second question of why life exists might be just to experience it. I see a higher purpose in that simplicity.
Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Very true. I think the concept that we are accidents and are all alone in existence is just too utterly terrifying for many of us that it's not an option. It must be an option if we are to take all others seriously.

Where we differ - aside from that I am agnostic - is that if a creator exists, shouldn't it's useless ass have stepped in a while back?
Edit: I don't believe a creator should or ever will 'step in' unless it's a just creator and not the source of everything.
“find it mysterious that the universe was created in such a highly ordered condition.”
I think when discussing the subject matter and applying the principle of decay in any form is far too narrow - as is almost any theory or principle.

It'll be a great thread to read through. Don't forget to include the prospect of god not existing, though.
As frightening as it is to some of us.
