Is there a Creator?

Did the universe just appear or is there a Creator?  What do you think?

You are reading this message either on a smart phone or a computer or  perhaps, a printout.  Who made each one of these?  Did the gadget, the paper, the pen, the computer appear on its own or is somebody responsible to create what you are reading? This message has come to you but who sent you this message?  Did it come by chance or did somebody send you this message?  Obviously, there is somebody, some power that is creating, sustaining, managing the universe.  We don’t know who, we don’t know where, we don’t know what, but there is a power – a power that creates.  We are unable to comprehend this power because this power is beyond our understanding, but to deny the power is wrong.  We must accept that we don’t know who the power is, where the power is and what the power is, but to say that there is no power and to say that all this is a coincidence or all this is just energy or by claiming that all this is just natural, what are we trying to say?  Are we attributing this amazing creation of the universe to nothing or are we attributing this amazing creation of the universe to some power?  Can we say that everything just appeared or is it not right to say that there must be a cause for this effect, because there is something in this universe, due to which you and I have come into existence?

I'll vote for a Creator. It seems more likely that matter had to originate in some manner outside of itself.
