Well, here's how I see it Yorick. I see no need to abstract and anthropomorphize the infinite that I cannot comprehend. Thus, to represent my view, I would edit your statement thusly:
The UNIVERSE, by nature is the one infinite eternal uncreated thing. The question "who created the UNIVERSE" is irrelevent, because it is not believed that the UNIVERSE HAS a beginning at all. Infinite as in: no beginning, no end, no limit physically, no restriction, beyond time, beyond limitation, beyond human comprehension.
Imposing some "creator" behind the veil only answers a question with a question. Why you can't look at the world around and see the infinite end-all-be-all is beyond me. Why you need some sentient creature watching over all moving the stings behind things I will never understand.
[/QB][/QUOTE]Ah, but science has discovered a beginning to the known universe - hence it has a finite point of origin. Secondly it is expanding - so it has a finite limit as there is somewhere the universe is not. Expansion implies limit. The universe, though it may be expanding infinitely, is not infinite. It is finite.
As to "why I can't", who says I can't. I can and could. I
have experienced an awareness identifying itself as the creator awareness though, and that has influenced what I believe. It's not a matter of being unable to do anything, but acting and making choices based on the experiences I have been given.
I do not believe we are alone.
