the universe. god created the universe..

you don't see the extra step BACKWARD?

at the very LEAST, you must explain your "rational" need to step back, for the extra "level"

Again, you miss the point. I'll explain my crazy ass idea just as soon as you explain yours to me...and we'll both be wrong.

Try as I might, I don't see anything in here about "something out of nothing":

Intellectual Elitism is at the core of the atheist's religion as opposed to living life according to certain precepts that is at the core of the Believers religion.

Such backdoor pretension.

Well, if it's posted on wiki then it must be true.

Yes, I've read it too. Perhaps you missed this part.

Without any evidence associated with the earliest instant of the expansion, the Big Bang theory cannot and does not provide any explanation for such an initial condition; rather, it describes and explains the general evolution of the Universe since that instant.

How convenient!

The truth is always convenient for those who don't fear it.

So your complaint really is that science is incomplete. Agreed, science doesn't have an answer for every question.

And theism does?

Actually, theism does. It just doesn't have the predictive, ie. practical power that science does.

I state my opinions not beliefs.
I don't accept your facts are facts, and when I face those, I find no reason for having a belief in them.

The only people who believe I have beliefs, are the theists like you who tell me what I believe.

Please differentiate your "opinions vs beliefs" sounds like BS to me.

You don't even believe in your own opinions?

LOL!!!
