I don't know if it's gods, goddesses, a god or goddess, aliens, or even the programmers behind some big computer simulation that everything we know is a part of. This could all just be a big coincidence too, existence may have just "happened". I don't know the answers, and I'm not ready to jump to conclusions, but I can make some semi-educated guesses.
Another thing I will say, it seems that Christianity and Islam have caused more problems than they have solved. That's not to say that the practitioners of these religions are necessarily bad people, or that these religions lack any good ideas, but it is rather alarming the things that have been done in their name.

Um, what does that have to do with anything?
"or that these religions lack any good ideas, but it is rather alarming the things that have been done in their name"
I was accentuating what you had said.
What has been done in their name continues daily.

Um... what do you THINK? Read a paper lately?
To the OP: WOW! Are you really in Paris right now? What a bad time to happened to be there!
Sorry, had a brain fart. Though the reason why I asked is because he has internet access from what I can tell, yet he hasn't really responded. I can sort of understand why though, amidst all the chaos that's probably going on in Paris at the moment.
I cannot always respond right away. Your question was just posted yesterday.
