I’ve been into the algorithm of religious and philosophical ideas lately, and it got me stuck on a specific logical loop.

​The common argument is that the universe and intelligent life must have been created because "something cannot come from nothing." However, if we assume that everything complex requires a creator, doesn't that same logic apply to God? If God is the most complex and intelligent being, why is He exempt from the rule of needing a creator?

​I’m curious about the reasoning behind this:

​Is it because God exists "outside of time"?

​Is it more logical to believe in an eternal God than an eternal universe?

​I'm trying to understand the different perspectives on the "First Cause" and how we decide where the chain of creation actually stops. I'm asking this out of genuine curiosity and respect for all religious perspectives. How do you think about this?

I’m confused about the symmetry in the Twin Paradox.

​If I travel at 0.87c (\gamma=2), I see Earth’s clock running at half-speed. This is true for both the outbound and the inbound leg of the trip.

​If Earth's clock is running slow from my perspective during the entire journey (out and back), how is it possible that Earth is 20 years older when I return, while I’ve only aged 10?

​Does Earth’s time "jump forward" during my turnaround? And if motion is relative, why doesn't this "jump" happen for me from Earth's perspective? Is it purely because I'm the one undergoing acceleration?

Or is there any video that explains this in an easy manner?
