Are religions manmade and natural or supernaturally based?

OR..........it came into being from nothing. Poof.First there was nothing. Then there was something.
Period end of story. We know that much is true. The how and why we do not know yet, you are free to attribute it to Goddidit. But you will get arguments from those who do not require a supernatural scenario. There is nothing wrong with your believing it was God. Except that it is not required to explain the statis quo. It is only required for those who need the certainty.But certainty can be a trap as well. "There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio than are dreamt in your philosophy"

Hello ICANT, Proposallink: So as to not post bare links and equations, The proposal that things can come from uncaused causes is a idea that has, and is one of many modern theories, thoughts, dreams, guesses.Wikimedia ErrorEdited by 1.61803, : add comment.

Hello ICANT,What that sentence was referring to I believe is that because of the uncertainty principal and the strange way reality manifest, it all but impossible to predict quantum events with absolute certainty.We have had a good many discussions on EVC about absolute knowledge and how it is futile to claim absolute knowledge.That is why I mentioned earlier that the belief in God as far as I know gives one that Certainty.
Hence why it is so appealing.The link is but one of thousands of points of view of people who want to know more about our cosmos and how it operates.
I myself think what a boring world it would be if humanity ever finds all the answers. And If indeed God exists;what a small god it would be if God could not construct our universe without the supernatural.

Hi GDR, I always thought that abiogenesis and evolution were not mutually exclusive. Also the origin of the cosmos has nothing to do with either. Invoking the supernatural is for all intents and purposes is intellectual equivalent of saying "it is what it is".

Hi GDR, Ok you made a connection between those three things.
Like spacetime and matter are necessary for abiogenesis,evolution and the orgin of the cosmos to included my starbucks coffee. Yes we can decide to believe the anthropic principal or not.Some people are content to believe that the only world with God/gods are those with creatures that are there to invoke them.
