> If you have two alternatives you're considering, and both require faith for you, then you don't know which is right
But if one takes more faith than the other, which do you choose?
Think of packing your own parachute for a sky dive vs accepting one that was packed for you. Still requires faith in the equipment to function when you go to open the chute, but it's not an arbitrary choice of which to trust.

If God created the universe, then he exists outside of it. So the "rules that apply to everything else" probably do not apply to God.

I don't believe things based on faith, I believe things based on evidence. If there isn't evidence, I admit I don't know. Faith does not enter the equation.

And if god didn't create the universe then the rules of logic still apply to god. You've not proven that god created the universe, so you can't base arguments off that.
