Exactly. You can believe either as the first step.The first step requires faith because the evidence isn’t available.
It’s not a question of benefit or necessity. It’s a question of what actually happened.
Who said anything about organized religion?
Faith is not restricted to believing in things unseen. Faith can be believing in something even when the empirical evidence and logic aren’t strong enough to make it likely. This applies both to the existence of a higher being and the presumption that all the matter, energy, and order of the universe appeared from nothing.
It takes just as much faith to believe that the universe came into existence out of nothing as it does to believe a higher being created it.
Commas are important
