Just to clear everything up for you guys. I should have took more time to make my posts.
I should have said, if you don't believe that there is a God, then do you believe there doesn't need to be a reason for existence? If you believe that, then it's fine with me.
"May I ask a question? Why isn't this enough? I mean, I can understand being curious about the origin of the universe, but why should the inability to answer the question be a source of discomfort?"
Well, I don't feel discomfort. I believe God created the universe. I just want to know what atheists think about the situation. They say they don't know why or how (and that's fine with me) they just say it has been here. Well, people ask me how can you believe in God and that he created everything without any proof. I would say, I just believe and that I have faith. To me they are pretty similar.
Atheists don't know how or why the universe is here, they just accept that it is. (I'm not against that)
I believe that God created the universe based on my faith. No I don't know how God created it, I just accept that he did.
I just wanted to get the atheists views of it.
Don't get me wrong, I like to be amazed at things I can't prove or understand.
I didn't make this post to judge atheists, I just want to understand them better. I have not been around many atheists (because my mom's family are Christians and my dad's family are Christians)

If God didn't create the universe, then how did it just get here?

Could you please stop spelling 'their is' and spell it correctly?
Sure, fallacycop. If it makes you feel better I will. But how could a word get to your nervs? A word is intangible, so exactly how could it get to your nervs? "There", is that better?

Well, then I guess I beg to differ with merriam-webster.
Good for you Taz, you go and do that.
