If you believe without evidence, a natural cause to the universe....you have faith??
I think you're trying to corner me with this question and make me look bad... Yes, it is technically true that there is no evidence yet for what caused this universe; the difference between an atheist and a theist, however, is that theists
absolutely assert a belief in a supernatural cause, whereas an atheist's stance is:
"I don't know. It's
highly likely that it was natural based on the fact that everything that's followed has been natural, and
the supernatural cannot exist within the natural...but it *could* have been aliens, or some indifferent higher power that got things started - we just don't have much data to work with yet."
In any event, even if there *was* a god-being who got this universe started, he/she/it is most certainly NOT the Christian god. He/she/it would also NOT be perfect (because the god would not have had to create anything, being perfectly complete). He/she/it would also NOT be all-good (due to there being just the slightest degree of suffering).
So a god thing that created this universe and then forgot about us...
that is the main thing atheists/agnostics can't 100% disprove. But does such a notion of reality really sound reasonable? No, no it doesn't. This indifferent god hasn't specified any "rules" or requirements like the made-up personal gods have, so why should I care even IF such a being existed?
