That which is not forbidden is mandatory.
ER — (archived)

I don't have one. I think there is matter and energy, time and space, and these things interact with one another to form complex structures like the human mind. The rules which describe these interactions are the laws of physics, where all of this comes from is anyone's guess, but I see no evidence of conscious thought. The universe has pattern, but no purpose. Things just happen, not just anything of course, there are certain things that are forbidden by the rules, but these rules (the laws of physics) don't seem to be too concerned with us, they seem to be just a way of keeping track of gravity, electromagnetism and the like; things we don't care much about and didn't even know existed until quite recently.

Of course, I cannot rule out a supernatural agent behind it all, but I see no evidence of any either, or any reason to have one. Besides, even if there is a deity, who is pushing his buttons? Where did he come from? Whose purpose does he serve? God doesn't answer any questions, he just postpones them.
