It is a scientific fact that the universe came into existence 13.6 billion years ago. Before this there was NOTHING. Therefore a being outside of the universe and the universe’s laws brought it into being. A creator of the universe is NECESSARY for the universe to exist. No sensible person can refute these facts with anything other than conjecture. Therefore, I am an aatheist. I don’t believe atheists exist. I think that they are people who realize that God’s existence is necessary, but they merely wish that he didn’t exist.
