Creationists are not, in fact lazy, they are realists.
Whether the universe and/or God have always existed or not, does not make a difference logically.
Logic dictates that there is no way to prove that God DOESN'T exist.
The real question is.... Will we always exist from now on?
(unless you want to slip right into the ethereal and ask: Do we actually exist?)
I say this because rational and logical thinking should lead us to a place where we ask questions that are relevent to our personal survival and our fulfillment in the current moment. I doubt that I will have time in my limited hours and days of breath to work out where God or the universe came from. It has yet to be philosophized or theorized into a scientifically provable method in the 3,000 to 4,000 years of recorded history so I can be pretty certain that I won't be given an answer in the near future.
So what we are all here for on this site is the eternal question...... Why?
Creationists say God. The rest say... something else.
Without God, we have no purpose.
Without God, we also do not have a concrete foundation upon which to lay mores of Good and Evil.
Without God, everything is relative.
Without God, you have no reason to expect an afterlife and therefore, to expect consequences to your actions in this life.
Without God, you are justified to do what you like, when you like, to whatever or whoever you like, as long as you are willing to accept the consequences of your actions, in this life.
Without God, love has no rational long term reward and it is logically proveable that there is greater pleasure in seeking material gain and stepping on those that get in your way.
Without God, the universe has no meaning.
Without God I hate you all because it does not matter that I do.
But with God, I have purpose. Love has purpose.
With God, there is a chance that there is more to our existence than meets the eye.
With God, right and wrong, good and evil, up and down are all only subject to God's creation and not man's ideals.
With God, I can explain my existence in terms that do not lead to dispair, hatred and separation of self.
With God, I am defined and do not have to worry about my own self definition.
With God, I love you all because he put Christ in me and now there is a good reason to.
