Might sound odd, but my reasoning is scientifical because of the law of conservation of energy and how it relates to the big bang. Unfortunately, there isn't an explanation for the original source of this energy or dense mass which triggered the event but still allows for the following of the LoCE. In most debates I've had, I find that people tend to try and dismiss that inquiry as inane when it is in fact a very relevant argument. Being as science cannot explain this phenomena, I personally accept that something beyond our understanding or mental capacity initiated the event. Call it a grand architect, God, Allah, Dios, whatever you want, it's the only reasoning I have available.

I agree. Religion to faith is what politics is to governance. They're generally presented as if they go hand in hand, but they're mutually exclusive.
