But the deep question is why there is something rather than nothing, not how
long this state of affairs has been happening, the existence of time after
all is just another thing that needs to be explained. If religion could do
even a little bit better than science in explaining this, if it could just
give me a hint of why there hasn't always not been a God then I'd be a
religious man. It can't so I'm not.

If God did exist he'd be asking himself the same deep questions we are.
