And what is Creator, in your opinion? Can it be a natural force? The laws of physics?

Was scrolling through Philpapers and found this manuscript. It seems weird that deism and atheism turned out to have pretty similar chance in the end, despite deism given lower chances on start. Want to hear your opinion

I recently started exploring philosophy on theism and atheism, and recently came up to conclusion that I’ll probably never become an atheist. My problem with atheism is, that it states that all our universe, life, and matter was caused by a pure accident. And even if it can be so, I found such an explanation be kinda weird, as if someone didn’t have an answer what the cause was, and just convinced themselves and others that there was no cause.

I don’t really know anything about God, and what he (it?) can be. But I’m sure for certain that such an organised, complex reality had a minimal chance of being created by accident.

So, I’m rather agnostic-deist. And I’m happy to join you here
