My work is about finding a rational frame work to understand the universe around us.
Science has a more compelling explanation than a divine creator.
You can't get to a time before the Big Bang because there was no time before the Big Bang. For me this means there is no possibility of a creator, because there is no time for a creator to have existed in.
When people ask me if a God created the universe, I tell them that the question itself makes no sense. Time didn’t exist before the Big Bang so there is no time for God to make the universe in. It’s like asking for directions to the edge of the Earth - the Earth is a sphere that doesn’t have an edge, so looking for it is a futile exercise.
