They cannot prove the universe sprang into being of its own. If they can't believe in a creator or intelligent design, why won't they admit that they just don't know?

I did not mean to insult anyone. I'm sorry if you took it that way. I only phrased the question like this because someone else asked "Why are Christians blind to the obvious?" I was trying to be cute, I guess, not insulting in any way. But I do appreciate some saying they don't know, because scientifically speaking I don't see how they can KNOW.

We know the universe had a beginning.
What happened prior to about 10^-43 seconds (give or take) we have no real clue.
Hopefully a cohesive theory of quantum gravity will allow us to go farther back.
Happy?

When will people realize time is an aspect of the universe not someting it is embedded inside of. No one who really understands current models of quantum cosmology says "The universe sprang into being". The fact time is a derived aspect of the universe implies that the universe is not embedded inside of time. Therefore applying verbs to it like the universe sprang into being really are not accurate.. That does not imply some superstitious magical fairy created it either.
By the way your hateful insults do nothing for your cause. You would be better served not calling people names.

Why are Christians and all religions for that matter blind to the obvious. You expect people to believe that this universal creator just wanted it to happen? And it was? Because they're so powerful? A lack of trust isnt a lack of intelligence on our part.

OK, here goes. I am an atheist and I don't know what happened before the big bang, or if that question even makes sense. I don't know what happened on the precise moment of the big bang, as none of our natural laws work at that point. From then onwards, I have a pretty good model and I can say that god(s), especially the christian god, are simply not there.

Why should anyone care!?! It's their belief system. Why are you Christian, Mormon, Jewish or anything else?? Because it's what you believe in. Well Athiests believe there is no God. Oh well they probably grew up that way just like you grew up your religion. Why is everyone bent on chewing out all the other fricken religions out there?? I'm Mormon not some athiest but it's still not your place to judge them anymore than they have the right to judge you. Maybe they don't want to know or just don't care like you do!!

properly, the arguement from layout (what you lay out) says no longer something approximately which faith (dressmaker) is sweet. that's a logical non-starter, because of the fact it would not convey approximately any end, merely something, quicker or later, started out each little thing. the suited one ought to do may be to argue for a Deist attitude, that of something commencing all of it and by no potential back affecting the international. i'm unsure why such lots of people think of that the argument from layout is an argument for faith, that's in actuality an arguement against any particular faith.

Yes, and neither do you. Nobody in the world knows. Nobody can deny that they have at least a hint of skepticism inside them.
And what is so obvious, might I ask?
By the way, why do people believe that God created us, but find it so unbelievably stupid that we just came into being?! Why is that?

So according to you it's either believing in a creator that poofed us into existance or admitting I don't know. In that case, I DON'T KNOW.
Btw, if you actually believe in intelligent design go look up unintelligent design.

and how is it obvious ?
YOU do not know, you cannot prove your god created the world, why do you think you're so much better than atheists? is the only reason you're christian because you get off on being self-righteous and condemning and judging others?

"Obvious" indicates something has empirical evidence... there is no such thing as it relates to your concepts of an omnipotent creator god. If you can't understand that, I'm sorry but thems are the facts.
