Evidence for God

One popular question I have heard posed to Atheists is:

"If there is no intelligent creator, then why is there something rather than nothing?"

If you can't answer that question, you're probably more of an Agnostic than an Atheist, and in my mind, a step in the right direction.

I'm not sure what the importance of that question is? I mean the answer is basically "because things do exist." The reason "why" they exist isn't really relevant to anyone other than a theist. From a philosophical point of view if they didn't, we wouldn't exist and there would be no one to even ask the question. Beyond that, we know that matter can neither be created or destroyed so it makes sense that it has always existed and it always will.
