I can remember having a conversation with my cousin when I was five years old. She was telling me that God created all humans and animals. I remember asking her "who created God?"
"No one," she said.
My response to her was somewhat profound, especially at five years old - "Did robots create God?"
What's the prerequisite for creation? Information to create out of. Does information require creation to exist? No. To disprove this; come up with any NEW information that wasn't inspired by all the information offered to you...
Great points. What is information anyway? There's no way to explain information without invoking consciousness. It all boils down to the hard problem of consciousness, and from there it's turtles all the way down.
