Infinity is an odd concept. Say there's a postman who is delivering mail to the houses down an infinitely long street. If he chooses to go up one side of the street first, he will never get to any of the houses on the other side. But if he covers both sides of the street by alternating, he will eventually get to any house, no matter how far down the street.
I'd stop trying to find out who is responsible for this universe, unless you are trying to lodge a complaint against them.
But the universe does not exists or there would not be room for me to be. The universe is just empty space in the same way as eternity is empty time that is not known until I get there and then will be the continuity of infinity.

Genesis alone is a joke claiming men magically popping out of dirt, women magically popping out of a man's rib, talking snakes, talking donkeys, talking bushes on top of treating the sun and moon as separate sources of light.
Quoting any holy book, not just yours, is what is known as "circular reasoning".
Science is not holy book dependent. If you think Christians are the only to try to co op science to prop up invisible sky heros you would be wrong.
Let me clear things up for you.
There is no Allah, no Yahweh, no God of the bible, no Vishnu, no Thor, no Apollo, naddda........There are merely humans who like what they believe because facing our finite reality is scary to them.
I think you have that just backwards because humans only think they are.
Wrong.
First off when you debate atheists you really need to understand that this is not our first rodeo. I myself have been debating religion online on an almost daily basis for past 14 years.
Secondly, you fail to consider that if atheists say there is no god, then it should stand to reason that humans cannot be gods either.
Gods do not exist and humans are not gods either.
Just like if I said "invisible pink unicorns do not exist" humans could not be invisible pink unicorns either.
