If you dont believe in a religion, how do you justify the initiation of anything, be it the big bang, universe etc etc. if it came out of black/non-exsistence, what initiated/created anything?

I think regardless of bias, or belief..we can all agree that both life and the universe is an odd thing.

Or i could go for proper grammar and say both are odd things..but i put both into the same word so maybe i'm right. bottom line the perplexity of everything freaks me out

Good question! I - being a Christian - have often wondered this same thing in regards to atheists.

Okay, let's break down what you are saying or might be hinting at. You can't believe in the big bang theory of creation but you can believe in an all powerful being coming out of know where with no known origin and no clear qualifications and etc creating everything that we see that is not man made. How bout you believe your way and I believe my way sooner or later the one with the most logical answer will take the honor of being right.

We Just DONT Believe That Some Guy [may it be god] Zapped With His Finger And Created Earth And Humans. Nobody Really Knows For SURE How It Happened. But We Refuse To Think That There Was A God Who Sat Arround And Arranged How Everything Should Be.
If There Is, Where Did God Come From?
Thin Air?
Nobody Knows The TRUE Genesis Of Life.

To answer your question is to acknowledge your ability to properly ask one. The evidence is inconclusive. I've seen the proofs but they are few and I'm not inclined to see if any can be reproduced in lab conditions because my mice are busy doing other things for science.
Allow me to initiate and create with some justifications:
I'd suggest brushing your teeth using toothpaste only made in China. God will talk to you soon thereafter, I'm sure. Failing that visit Bob Jones or Oral Roberts University and see if any holier than thee undergrads will give you the time of day.

I'm not going to lie, I don't know what caused the Big Bang, plain and simple. It's still an unanswered question.
According to the current theory though, there always has been the same amount of matter in the universe, so "something" didn't come from "nothing." It's just expanding and decreasing in density.

I do not know - however adding a supernatural / occoult explanation does nothing to answer that question ether.
This is because if you have a belief that nothing can come from nothing - then you have the problem of where did god or gods or whatever come from.
If you believe that god (or what ever) had always been there - then why cannot that be true of matter?

God may have created the singularity that was the big bang, so he did not create the universe in 6 days. Pick one and stick with it guys. You are getting more confused than ever.

For something to be a cause, it must come before its effect. "Before" implies time. Time and space came into existence with the Big Bang. So, any question aboout a cause for the Big Bang (ie, the universe) is nonsense, because it attepts to apply the idea of causality outside of time.

Well I have a counter question. If you believe in a God, then when did he appear, or when was he born? And how can you justify that he was around forever? Things happened because other things happened before it. Maybe it's a circle. I am an atheist, but I genuinely believe that the big bang happens over and over and over again. We just don't live long enough to see it.

Believers think that there had to be a creator for everything that we see. Since you believe this how do you explain where the creator came from?
No one knows how it all started. One thing that I do know is that no loving god/creator would allow the suffering of the innocent. I don't believe in god.

That's the whole issue, there was no big bang, the world started gradually. We don't know exactly what happened and don't clain to know all the answers, but it all started with one one amoeba who joined with another anoega, who joined with another, and so it went. A slow progressl bit life didn't begin with a big bang and all of a sudden there were one cell, then cell "animals" andbefore you knew it man was born. It isn't as if we don't have our own beliefs in how the world began, we don't live in a vacumn.
