thats because the majority of people who responded were bible toting rednecks with no jobs because they will just pray and god will take care of them. the rest of the logical people were at work and too busy to respond.

you truly are clueless when it comes to most atheists. none say it it couldn't have been god. they usually say it is extremely likely it was not god, and even more so on top of that extremely likely it was not the god of the bible.

it seems to me that you only hear what you want to hear. you interpret what you hear/read any way you want to try and prove your case. to prove it i just have to look at your thread title for your self ownage. a big bang theorist says infinitely small and dense, you equate that with "nothing" the same way that extremely unlikely you equate with no chance.

have you ever heard of russels teapot?

educated atheists dont say no chance. do some more research or up your listening, reading and interpreting comprehension before you continue to make these claims.

So where does your god come from then? If something can come from nothing, why not the universe? If god was somehow "always" here, why not the universe? You're adding an unnecessary step, and not a very sensical one at that.

Even leaving that aside, 'X did it,' and calling X 'god' still doesn't get you anywhere. You certainly don't get to make the leap to attaching a bunch of ideas and qualities and actions to 'god,' and claim that you're correct about any of it.

Answering "science doesn't yet know, but at present has some very good, reasonable models of what might have happened," is a lot more "logical" (and intellectually honest) than just inventing an answer that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Science doesn't avoid the question, we admit that a singularity happened at the beginning of the big bang. The question that religious people avoid is: if "god" created the universe, what created him? if he created himself, how did he do it?

further, why is a being that can create everything out of nothing going to create a horrible place called hell, and banish anyone who doesnt obey the rules he made to it for eternity? throwing the word logical into your fairy tale doesnt make it any more "logical"

it's like the "church of christian science" you'll never be able to be a christian science major.
