What advantage is there in assuming that there is a being who is the creator?

According to theologians, no one knows. Because if the facts were known, people would know that there wasn’t any magic.

So religion has a vested interest in keeping things secret. More work for clergy.

It’s an impossible question. We don’t know the true nature of the “creation” either.

If the answer of this question was given to me then my pea brain is likely too tiny to understand.

To assume there is a “creator” opens the question as to who created the “creator?”
There is no creator, the universe just is.

Human experience leads to the conclusion that if something exists, then something must have caused it. Instinct directs observation to objectify, and sentient creatures to give objects names. The personified cause of creation is seen as being sentient and sapient. This envisioned being (or beings) is an extension of human society. They personify the source of creation as the ultimate human, usually an all-powerful masculine ruler to whom all must subjugate themselves, a glorification of how most societies prefer to see men or saw them thousands of years ago but continues as tradition.

For me, God is not the creator but creation. In the physical universe, causal laws known and yet to be known have evolved reality from a likely unknowable beginning (currently called the big bang) to the present time. The materials, matter and energy, led inevitably to animate forms we think of as life that likely exists throughout the cosmos.

In addition to the physical universe, a mental universe exists in which individually and collectively a “picture” of the physical and social world is imagined. However, I think that a third universe exists, a conceptualization arising from an evolving consciousness. It is, for want of a better term, a spiritual universe. It provides recognition that while it is necessary for one to meet the needs that enable an individual’s survival, it is more important to forgo one’s desires and to meet the needs of others instead. Not surprisingly, this is a fundamental tenant of most if not all religions.

On the subject of the “Big Bang” theory, in my opinion, there is nothing that says that THE “Big Bang” (as most people know it) was the first and only one of it’s kind. Since time is a concept of Man, and that time, being endless with no beginning and no end, there may have been countless (!) “Big Bang“s before the one we seem to be most acquainted with.

“Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He’s a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It’s the goof of all time. Look but don’t touch. Touch, but don’t taste. Taste, don’t swallow. Ahaha. And while you’re jumpin’ from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He’s laughin’ His sick, fucking ass off. He’s a tight-ass. He’s a sadist. He’s an absentee landlord. Worship that? Never.” – Alpa Chino

I It would have to be revealed. What you make does show who you are but not totally.
You would have to ask Why was this created? Did it have to be created?

Assuming there is a god in the first place.
