So most of you agree that Big Bang is what started the universe....based on this notion, answer these questions:
1. If not God, what made the cosmic egg, and/or what triggered it?
2. Why should theists tell you where God came from if you can't tell them where the Big Bang came from in the first place?
3. If you can accept that the Big Bang is the first in the universe, that it is the beginning, why can't you accept that God made the beginning?
E.g. for question 3: Here's a number sequence: 1,2,3,4,5 and so on, so, putting God in it is just 0,1,2,3,4,5 and so on. What is wrong about putting another beginning into an equation?

But, if you believe in the eternal cycle of the universe instead, answer these questions?
1. What started the eternal cycle?
E.g. for the question: Let say a river flowing in a cycle endlessly, someone or something would've made the thing geographically like that, so what started the eternal cycle of the universe?
2. If you can accept that the universe has no beginning, why can't you accept that God has no beginning?
Answer sincerely, thank you.

My opinion: Nothing started the eternal cycle. It has always been.
If there were a god, it could also be eternal and without beginning, the problems surrounding the existence of a god do not involve infinity, for me.

you're arguing semantics. Proving a first cause is a long way from Jesus being our personal lord and savior. as an agnostic, i understand and agree with what you're saying, but atheists wouldn't have trouble saying God exists in the form of energy or something capable of starting our universe. It's the claims people make and attach to God that makes atheists reject the whole idea. it almost becomes a matter of pride for them to reject the word God out of hand. If there were no organized religion, there would be VERY FEW atheists.

There is nothing wrong with supposing, if you wish, that some sort of god started the ball rolling, and prescribed the rules by which it has run since. But the thesis is provably useless: it cannot be either verified or refuted, and it follows from the latter that it cannot make any predictions about the real world. So, you are free to believe it, but there is no point in doing so.

I don't just the existance of non existance of god based on the Horrendous Space Kablooie ( much better name that "big bang"), but the simple fact is god creating the horrendous space kablooie is no better than the HSK just happening ( as God must have). So, Occams razor, god isn't needed in the explanation. Come up with some more facts and we'll chat again.

Sorry, I've answered a couple of your tiresome questions already.
I'm not your trained pet going to perform logic tricks for you, when you clearly don't understand my previous answers.
Lastly, just because I'm an atheist, I don't profess to know what caused the big bang. Nobody really knows, it is all speculative. As is God. But at least there is evidence for the BB

nobody knows. Atheists do not claim to know. Anybody that claims to know exactly how, or what made the universe is a liar.
If you can accept that god has no beginning, why cant you accept the universe not having a beginning?

Because the 0 is unnecessary and adds nothing - literally - to the usefulness of the theory as predictor.

I'm a PAgan, but I don't think any gods came until after the universe.

the bible doesn't say anything about big bang so god has nothing to do with it
besides, there's no god

We have to admit there is a Supreme somewhere.
But what I can't stand, is that No one can prove that it is God, Buddah, etc....
There is so many religion with so many divinity..... There is certainly one somewhere, but which one is it??????????
You can't prove this is your GOD.....
