   Agnostic here.. Saying there is no intelligent creator offers the same   
   complete lack of evidence as those that say there is a creator.  One thing   
   I've learned reading just about everything well known theoretical physicists   
   say is that they don't have a *   
   clue* how the universe started or, more importantly, *why* there is even a   
   universe at all.  Further, many of those scientists remain as believing in   
   intelligent design despite years of study.   
      
   In other words, debating this one way or the other or making declarative   
   statements one way or the other is done with no evidence whatsoever, only   
   opinion which is worthless.
