HAVING read all the contributions over the past couple of weeks regarding creationism, the Big Bang and evolution etc, the question I always eventually come to, regardless of whether the sudden big bang came from a materialised carbon atom or creation by God, is what created either of them?

You can't just say God has always been there or the carbon atom just appeared.

Thereafter, what created their creator? Whatever, it is a mind blowing question which our knowledge of physics cannot justify or cope with.

Answer that one anybody.

CREATIONISM - because it's easier to read one book than lots of really hard ones.
