To start, what are laws and who creates them? Laws (from a scientific perspective) are statements based on repeated experimental observations that describe aspects of the universe. We, people, create these laws, that doesn't mean we set the planets in motion, it means we write down an equations and observations that make it easier to predict the motion.
Not at all. Who believes that scientists created the law of gravity or Archimedes' law? The law is called after the man who discovered it, not created it. Big difference. Scientists discover how things work in this universe and they invent the language they use in order to refer to these laws that, again, they discover and observe, they don't invent.
So far we have not demonstrated that the laws of nature require any form of intelligence. What evidence do you provide that it was intelligence at the beginning? Saying that we have societal laws and we can make laws to observe the universe are not evidence as they don't describe any processes. How do you propose we look for a supernatural god at the formation of the universe? furthermore, how would we even know we were looking for your version of god? We can't just presuppose a god exists, you can make a hypothesis that one does, but without evidence to solidify the claim we are just speculating.
You have to be kidding. The complexity and connectivity which exist in the universe are proof of intelligence. And for the last time, we didn't make the gravity law, we just named it "gravity".
Why is the idea of a creator of the universe so weird for atheists? It's not like humanity began to presuppose the existence of God two days ago.
Although all ancient religions had intuitively presupposed a god they could not go beyond the natural world. None of the pagan gods are actually supra-natural. The pagan gods are either natural/created elements such as sun, moon, storm, trees, stones, individuals (the greek pagan gods), that religious people divinized, either combination of natural elements (lion with human head, for example).
The God that Christians believe in and proclaim is not an element of this universe, neither a product of man's imagination because since God is supra-natural, it means that He doesn't have any equivalent in the world that we know. He created the world, but He is not one with the creation.
So, we can't possibly know/imagine what God is and whatever some atheists say God is (in order to mock us, otherwise I can't explain why they do this) like, Zeus, tooth fairy, flying spaghetti monster, banana dragon etc., etc., so whatever they say God is, it isn't God, but a product of their imagination. God is supra-natural, supra-logical, uncreated and infinite - all these means that He is ontologically different from us and that we can't possibly know Him unless we make a "quantic jump" out of our existence, into another existential perspective.
Or unless He comes down to us and reveals Himself.
And that's what He did! He revealed Himself to Abraham, to Moses because otherwise, they couldn't have known Him. And ultimately, He came down -kenotically- to our level of existence in order to lift us to His eternal Life. (I did not use the verbs "came down" and "lift" in a spacial sense). So, the incarnation, the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ are the response of God to the humanity's call for Him. Christianity is God saying "Hi" to us. That's why the Apostles were so joyful and fearless in spreading the good news because they were filled with God's love and truth, because you don't hide the light but share it with the rest of the world.
Wow, I wrote a lot. I hope that it wasn't in vain.
