Yes
For me though it all comes down to logic in the end though. I have a scientific mind I fancy. All the teaching my family and community hit me with couldnt resonate with me. One night I sat reading a post somewhere on a technical site talking about god, disproving it if I remember correctly, pointing towards the big bang and time and reason. It hit me suddenly, what came before? What came before the big bang? Where did all these subatomic particles come from? What is space? It was surely something, not nothing as described before the big bang. I couldnt even begin to imagine nothingness. There will always be another mystery to solve and so I dont believe in human reason in the end. I dont believe we are the alpha and omega. We will never be able to fully understand our universe. Over time Ive come to find myself think "how can you not believe in a creative intelligence, we are here after all". Of course opinions very and Im not here to argue the point, just express what Ive found. I now believe that life is like a rain drop FWIW, of course that could change.

I am incapable of understanding a creator/beginning. I think there is something bigger...but not a single person behind the curtain running the show.

"Coming".. or "Becoming" are all relative to manifestation. Isn't "God" supposed to be Unmanifested?

But the answer is so simple that I can't understand why it's not obvious to everyone.
Everything has always been here. everything will always be here. Every particle of dust that floats in space has the potential to form into a planet with other particles. Over time (billions of millennia) planets are formed, life is generated, energy fades, and all is lost back to the vastness of space.
The big bang isn't meant to explain all existence. It's the explanation of our very small slice of the pie. Our universe. Space is infinite. Other big bangs have happened and other universes were born.
All without the hand of god.
