I get that you are trying to be condescending towards me, KellyJay, but it will get you nowhere.
We do not know the origin of the universe.
You - based on your "pondering of it" - "committing to" a specific theological/ anthropomorphized narrative, "taking a side" [as you put it], being - as you see it - not "wishy-washy", and buying into the circular logic of a particul ...[text shortened]... him, etc. etc....] doesn't give you any philosophical altitude from which to attempt to condescend.
What is the reasonable explanation, that the origin of the universe is here due to
some mindless act without purpose or through design? Adding up all we know,
at the heart of it all, at the root, the universe and life origin here done by unguided,
meaninglessness, or with intent? If you don't care about the answer, it doesn't
matter to you, does that mean it doesn't matter, no, only that you view it that way.
