[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's assume for the moment that because we do not have an explanation for the existence of matter, we have to posit a creator. Okay. That doesn't get you to God as any major world religion defines him. It just gets you a creator.[/quote]

That is fine!  If we call God the Creator, the First Mover, does that change some of the professed atheists' position?  Because very few of the PPs who professed atheism specifically stated they do not believe in a Creator.  They just had problems with various religions.[/quote]

As soon as you call God a Creator, you are envisioning God as an intelligent being.  Physics does not require an intelligent being to explain the creation of the Universe.  Physics does not know what, if anything existed prior to that moment, but  the standard model handles everything from T=0.[/quote]

I don't think it follows that, as soon as you call God a Creator, you are envisioning an intelligent being.  Does a creator need to be intelligent?  does it need to be a "being"?  Isn't saying this a bit antropomorphic?  Whatever it is, God is our only word for it.  And the Standard Model does indeed only tell you about everything from T>0.  T=0 is the great mystery.[/quote]
