In this simple, home-made video a former minister asks the question that I asked as I took leave of theism: why isn't the world wondrous enough all by itself? Why must we make its existence subservient to the claim for an unprovable "creator?" Ultimately the answer is that in times of fear or crisis we long for the comfort and protection of our outgrown infantile relationships. But yearning doesn't make it so. When we grow up, we realize we're on our own and have to craft a more practical way to grapple with reality.
