Incredible nature is one reason I believe in God.  As stated in the interview, "ït all comes together"  Physics is beautiful.

Grant,

I have a similar viewpoint.  I am not an atheist.  I like pantheism, but I am more of an agnostic.

I tend to believe in a generic concept of God, but this presents philosophical questions that I am not comfortable with.  Those would be, "Who made God?" and "Why is there something instead of nothing?"   My point is that we believe that all events have a cause, so every event must have had another event that preceded it.  Does this go back in time forever?   Every possible answer I can come up with makes no sense.  Either there was a first event or there wasn't.  If there was a first event, what caused it?

If we believe that God is eternal going in both time directions, then we might as well believe in a universe that is eternal in both time directions.  Believing in God might be wishful thinking.
