"so with that thought in mind why is it so hard to believe that we are created by the creator? "
I believe what the current evidence supports. I do not believe in God for the same reason I do not believe in unicorns, leprechauns or ghosts. Additionally, God is not necessary to explain anything. In fact, explaining the origin of God complicates things and Occam's razor tells us that the simplest explanation is typically the correct one.
The question should not be "why is it so hard to believe that we are created by the creator" but why is it so hard to believe that there is no such creator? |
well because there is nothing that can come out of nothing. isn't that what science says? did the universe create itself? can a women give birth to herself? of course not because that means she has to exist to be able to give birth to herself which in itself is not possible.
what kind of evidence would convince you of a creator?

Actually, out of the void it is possible to create both an equal part matter/energy and anti-matter/energy. From zero arises both one and negative one. If you simply combine all of the matter/energy and anti-matter/energy all of it would cease to exist along with the distortions in the space-time continuum that give rise to gravity and time. All of reality is simply like a series of waves on a pond with matter/energy as the crests and anti-matter/energy as the troughs). The origin of this distortion is still a mystery but a magic, omnipotent creator is such an absurd, inelegant explanation that I would never entertain the prospect without hard evidence. What kind of evidence would I require? Anything that is quantifiable and absolute and nothing that is ambiguous and ill-defined.

What, is then, the catalyst of such reactions? IE:0 -> -1+1

To quote one Ozzy Osbourne "I don't know". This is basically the one thing for which I have no answer and I really wish I did.

It's refreshing to see that somebody here was aware of this fact. The thing is, the Universe in which we exist is unbalanced in terms of matter vs. anti-matter but it is merely a single peice of a larger whole. If another Universe (ironically named) is comprised largely of anti-matter/energy it would serve as a counter-part to our own.

Yeah but the multiverse theory is crazier than the idea of a God as the creator of our universe.
|
Absolutely.
The whole big bang idea is infested with unregularities and leaps of faith.
The mere existence of consciousness (and this requires some reflection - and dare I say it - meditation) is alien to a mechanistic world.
The Wave particle duality makes no sense at all - yet it is accepted as the only possible solution. It tears open the guts of what is reasonble and what isn't. The very nature of what we see around is is transformed into a fundamentally illusory state.
Yet, without even understanding the above points at a basic level, people vehemently protest against the existence of religion even thought they have never properly applied themselves to it in the first place. Mind boggling.

(slightly off topic, or actually not:) Cool, do you meditate?
