Everything comes from God
One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him. The scientist walked up to God and said, “God, we've decided that we no longer need you. We’re to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don’t you just go on and mind your own business?”
God listened very patiently and kindly to the man. After the scientist was done talking, God said, “Very well, how about this? Let’s say we have a man-making contest.” To which the scientist replied, “Okay, we can handle that!”
“But,” God added, “we’re going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam.”
The scientist said, “Sure, no problem” and bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt.
God looked at him and said, “No, no, no. You go get your own dirt.”
Moral: It isn’t enough just to be able to explain the origin of life, if you cannot explain the raw materials and fine-tuned parameters of chemistry and physics. As Carl Sagan said in Cosmos, “To really make an apple pie from scratch, you must begin by inventing the universe.”

This is the 1st answering post:

The problem with your reasoning is that you imagine what you have decided must be the default explanation for every unanswered question (that an intangible being created everything tangible out of nothing) is the only possibility. That is, the only concept that makes sense to YOU must therefore be the only possible explanation for our reality. That's kind of presumptuous to say the least?

and his response:

It is no more presumptuous than believing that everything just popped into existence all by itself. It is a scientific fact that nothing physical can create itself. What does that leave us with? Think about it.
