a flaw in that reasoning was that the students went from physical phenomenon, which have been proven, to the concept of God, which can never be proven. Anytime people relate physics to God, it's total bullshit. I understand the reasoning behind it, but considering the concept of god parallel to things in the real world is just not right.
That said, I'm an atheist. To me I have never had a reason to believe in a god. I'm happy and live a good life. Perhaps being raised in a catholic family turned me off from religion.
If you are willing to believe that a deity created everything, what created that deity? If you are then willing to believe that this deity simply has existed forever, why not believe the universe (or the energy/matter from which it came) has existed forever?
