    “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
    Then he is not omnipotent.
    Is he able, but not willing?
    Then he is malevolent.
    Is he both able and willing?
    Then whence cometh evil?
    Is he neither able nor willing?
    Then why call him God?”

    “God’s power is infinite. Whatever he wills is executed but neither man nor other animals is happy. Therefore he does not will their happiness. Epicurus’s questions are yet unanswered”

    If we look at the universe with the limited knowledge we have it’s pretty bloody old, pretty big and fairly complicated I think we can mostly agree on that.

    I don’t understand how anyone can think that adding in an omnipotent all powerful creator makes things any more explainable.

    Seems to me that anyone who believes in god is uncomfortable with saying “I don’t know” when faced with the big questions around life the universe and everything. So in order to avoid admitting not knowing they say well it was all down to god which to me seems properly mad and very arrogant but probably quite comforting.

    No, as man invented God.
