Cause.

Everything we know of has a cause, even the universe, although we are a long way from knowing the finer details of this cause.

To invoke the idea of a "creator of the universe" seems to me like a lazy mans way of getting around the problem of what caused the big bang 13.7 billion years ago.

Deeply religious friends of mine mention the word faith. Well IMO, faith is a poor substitute for knowledge of cause. But then, my long departed good mother always did call me a Doubting Thomas.
