[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because:

The Heavens proclaim the Glory of God;
And the Earth proclaims his handiwork.
Day unto day sings out his presence;
And night unto night his praise.[/quote]

In this case, of course, King David, in Psalm 19.

But as prior posters have observed, the existence of a well-ordered universe points toward a creator.

Religion is a natural virtue. People are drawn to what is greater than themselves.

“God” is a name given to an essentially unknowable being marked by the ultimate degree of every virtue, power and perfection.

My own admittedly limited experience suggests that a significant percentage of people who reject the existence of a higher power do so because they’re attached to one or another behavior that they know is bad for them and/or others but don’t want to give up. That or they’re fighting with some conception of a deity that they blame for the perceived misconduct of that deity’s all-too-non-divine followers. [/quote]

Why does a universe point to a creator?

And this universe is clearly not well ordered, unless you are a black hole, as stephen hawking said.
