The Battle of the Wilderness (May 5–7, 1864) was the opening clash of Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign against Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in Virginia. Fought in thick, tangled woods, the brutal, often hand-to-hand, three-day battle resulted in over 28,000 combined casualties and ended in a tactical stalemate.

An atheist explains the most convincing argument for God

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t44PFI_V4LE&t=468s

This argument has a physics way of thinking, saying that there must be a fundamental force behind the workings of the universe.  However, physics has already identified the four forces that it believes are fundamental.  Whether those fundamental forces have a cause might be impossible to determine, but if they did then they wouldn't be fundamental.  And there may be no underlying cause because they are fundamental, meaning they are simply are.

One doesn't have to think about physics to believe in a god.  Everything we see is created by something else.  How far back in time does that go?  So the religious argument is that you can't have creation without a creator.  My problem with that line of reasoning is who created God and how far back does that go?

Logically, I have a problem with infinities.  I assume that you can't have infinite anything, because infinite matter would have an infinite gravitational attraction.  However, we assume that every moment in time had a moment that came before it and another that follows.  Likewise, for every location in space, we assume that there is something beyond it.  Does space go on forever?

What I am trying to say is that the universe makes no sense.  It is either infinite or finite, and if it is finite, what lies beyond?  Nothing?  However, the toughest question to answer is why there is something instead of nothing at all?  Either the fundamental cause was physical or something else.  If you want to say that God was the fundamental cause, I can't prove you wrong.

I don't know that we will ever be able answer these questions.  Religion is a failed science because it provides imperfect and usually false answers to why things are the way they are.  Modern science has done a really good job of explaining how things work, but not necessarily why the universe exists.

Here’s the official weight of Rufus the bull.

This guy makes videos about his favorite bull, which he says he loves, but this bull is ornery and sometimes aggressive.
