I'm sure many among atheists has many different concepts but I'm curious to know what do you believe in how creation was origined?I mean do you guys believe that apperently a substance came out of nowhere?Or do you believe that the creation is infinite(had no beginning)and there's an infinite process of evolution?Couldn't there be an unknown and infinite source that was the reason that creation came to existence and with that everything just created by itself?Please don't turn this in to a theology debate just wanna learns some different views.

Yes I agree with you guys in a sense that,yes majority of religious have this imaginary concept of God and believe that they're sure about it.I don't agree with that either I just wonder couldn't there just be another concept of God?I mean people say God is the All-Mighty or the Infinite so wouldn't God be far to complex for a limited human mind to understand God than?I do believe in science,and always take serious my thirst for knowledge,and yes I do agree the fact that people imagine that the creation was created by magic fairy(they claim is God) is non-sense.

As your first answer illustrates, using the word "creation" begs the question , and assumes that something was "created" to begin with.
I believe their is a source to the universe, but no current evidence comes close to suggesting a personality within that source. The fact that the universe emerged implies a tendency in that direction within the source, but not necessarily a "reason" in an anthropomorphic sense. And by definition there was nowhere (and no when) before space and time emerged, so the universe came out of nowhere whether or not it had a creator. As for the "substance" of the universe, we cannot step outside of it to see if any such "substance" exists as anything other than our perception, so we can assume nothing exists exept for a display within our awareness. Too many assumptions in your question.

I'm not aware of any convincing evidence for the process of "creation". I can live with that. Just because I don't know how the universe was created doesn't mean I will default to the mindless explanation of "it must be God". I'm completely comfortable not being able to explain "creation".
Given my current state of knowledge, any creation scenario that man can imagine is equally possible/probable. If man were really that clever, that would mean equal probability for an infinite number of possibilities. However, man is not very clever, hence: the Bible, the Big Bang, and a few less notable examples.
Believing that "The Bible" is the inspired word of "God" does not give "God" very much credit, because that book is absurd. Its clearly the work of man.

When the last universe collapsed in on itself, it created an infinitely dense point which eventually expanded into this one.

I'm not sure - if I were I'd likely win Nobels for physics and chemistry. That fact is exciting; skeptical people will always search for the "Why?".
Does the fact that I don't know mean I'm required to accept that some angry magical fairy in the sky created it?

Very interesting Deux, but isn't it an accepted fact that the universe is constantly expanding?

I'm going with big bang theory - it has the most evidence to support it. I don't know yet how it happened - but I know people who are working on it. Just because we don't know now doesn't mean we will never or can never know. I'm sorry you gave up the search for knowledge.

Um...I don't have any belief that pertains to "creation"...

"Please don't turn this in to a theology debate"?
Why else would you be asking a question about physics/astronomy in the R&S category?
