(710 posts)Ok, think of it this way:
Things in our world come into being because we have the conditions for the things to become, basically our world.
Our world came into being simply because we had the conditions for our world to become, namely the universe.
So if our universe came into being, then it too must have had conditions for it to become, what ever that was.
And there had to be conditions for that 'what ever it was' to come into being and so on and so on.
Now if we want to say the conditions that allowed our universe to come into being were just always there, then we have stopped using science and are relying on faith.
So basically, as we will never ever be able to figure out the conditions that allowed the natural process to start (because that question is infinite and can never be answered), then at some point we have to believe that something just always existed, thus we then require faith in something that we can never answer.
