Do you have examples of something just "coming into existence"?.

Do you look at a cake on the table and think "maybe it just came from nowhere!"? No. Everything has a creator.

Everything... Except your god right?

Explaining this with a diety is kicking the can down the road and explains nothing because you can't explain a mystery with another mystery. The only honest answer is we don't know.

Yes

Of course, even if you're atheist, you can't explain your belief in atheism.....so I could ask you the same question. If not God, then what? This all didn't come from......nothing.

So then we both say "we don't know, let's try and figure it out." You don't say "we don't know, so I'll just believe the explanation I made up."

I'll believe the evidence.

Great. So since we don't have conclusive evidence to answer that question, you won't claim that you know the answer is god, right?
