I love how arrogant people can be to just dismiss the idea that there might be a first cause behind the universe outright. Yeah, I get why people make fun of the bible with talking snakes and men living inside fish in it. I'm sympathetic to that, but at the same time, given the universe that we're living in, it's very persuasive, the idea that there is some kind of first cause that's running things. It might not be the god of Westboro Baptist church, it might not be the god of al-qaeda, and it might not be the god of Abraham, but something could very well be running things. The order of the universe as we see it, the interlocking nature, and the way things work together, are persuasive of the idea that there may be some overarching first cause.
