Something from nothing not being logical or observable.

Then you examine the various religions. Christianity easily is the most prominent and valid. Not to mention has the biggest rewards and punishments.

After that it's all about faith.

When you say something from nothing you have misstated the question IMO. You might enjoy watching some atheist debates.

It looked to me like you where saying there had to be a God because something couldn't come form nothing.

Didn't say there had to be anything

Simply i think a higher being created the universe over something from nothing is the most logical likely scenario.

And I think that higher being was the Christian God.

A creator vs something from nothing aren't the only 2 choices though.

Well said. Good for you!

Again never said they were.

Simply put I think the most logical explanation for this world is a creator. And in such I think the most likely creator is the Christian God
