Right, there was nothing, and then for no reason there was a big bang from nowhere and everything was made for no reason out of nothing. Got it. =-)
He never mentioned any of that, or did I misread it?

It took my interest, so yes. Do you actually read books that last more than a page? Logic please

As long as it is a picture book then yes.  Look I rock out with my glock out.

I'm going to add my 2 cents. Anyway I've also questioned why God is the only God and why other religions aren't right, okay right isn't the right word. More like why the Christianity God is real. Christianity is right because this is the only "living" God. The other Gods in buddhism and etc. are fake. They're dead, they're not real. As for the christians being against homosexuality and the "working on certain days" thing, I have nothing against homosexuality, abortion (though I do think it's wrong, for me anyway), piercing,tattoos, and anything else you can think of. Not all christians are closed-minded. I most certainly am not. I respect agnostics and atheists for their beliefs. I don't go and try to prove them wrong. Okay, I'm done...

You do realise that your argument is nothing more than "I'm right because I'm right, and all those other gods are fake because I say so"?

You think the Christian god is real... because all the others are fake? That's it? Did I miss something?

I find that some people have misconceptions about what exactly being agnostic means.

You can be an agnostic theist, which means that you believe in a higher power, but you also believe that there's no way of knowing for sure that that higher power exists. And you can be an agnostic atheist, which means that you believe that there's no higher power, but you also believe that there's no way of knowing for sure that no higher power exists.

Basically, agnosticism is a broader philosophy than lots of people give it credit to be.

The point being that the Cosmological Argument (which is, more or less, what the OP is rebutting) does NOT suggest the 'other stuff.'

"Where did the universe come from" may lead to "We don't know - perhaps it always existed" or "We don't know - perhaps it was created."

It does NOT suggest "We don't know, but maybe the specific deity of this one barbarian Semitic culture did it and also killed his son/self on a stick just to save you from the punishment he created you to deserve."

Actualy he created us to choose if we wanted to deserve that or not.

Not everyone is impatient, immature and childish as you are.

Not knowing does not equate to God. But thanks for playing and showing your belief is based on the God of the Gaps argument.

Microwaves are why God exists since I can't explain how they work!
