If there were no Creator then what is stopping gravity from pushing instead of pulling? What is stopping the sun instead of radiating heat, radiate cold?

I'd try to explain to him that cold is absence of heat, and Joule's Law and that thermal radiation requires particles with different levels of excitation and is impossible in a vacuum, but I'm not sure he'll be able to get his head around gravity being the absence of "push".
So God, being all-powerful, chose to make a universe that would require his undivided attention and effort on his part to keep working, rather than sitting down with his all-knowingness and working out how it will all keep going without him so it doesn't interrupt his football game all the time?
This reads like one of those "deep" thoughts that occurs when one has indulged in recreational substances. Almost anything seems profound when your synapses are being short-circuited.really looked at your hands?"

easy. The exothermic nature of the chemical reaction in that giant ball of gas, and the law of universal gravitation and its relation to mass, distance, and magnetics. That is one of the stupidest arguments for god I've ever heard, and has been repeatedly refuted throughout the centuries, perhaps you should read some Dawkins, Russell, Kant, or even Descartes...
If the laws of physics weren't suited to human life, then we wouldn't be around to comment on it. Another intelligent race may have evolved in that case though, and the less intelligent among them may have asked why gravity doesn't pull and why the sun isn't hot.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
