It can't be helped due to limitation of language.
The point is the universe came from nothing. The universe was preceded by its non-existence

There I used the word preceded

You have no clue, (and neither does science) if the universe "came from nothing", or even if it "came from" .... anything ... or "at all'.
Roger Penrose, (Stephen Hawking's friend ... cosmologist at Oxford) wrote "Cycles of Time" in which he thinks the universe always existed.
The Big Bang is the inflationary epoch ... not the "beginning". "Coming from" is a temporal reference, (as discussed by Dr. Sean Carroll in his debate with WLC).
You cannot employ a temporal reference in the absence of time. All you can do is say nothing ... and that's all you know, and that's all we know right now.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell  Popcorn

Lift the epicanthic folds over your eyes and maybe you'll see them

Okay.




Nope, still not seeing them, buttnose. Maybe it's because you didn't provide any.

Why (Almost All) Cosmologists are Atheists

So what it's immaterial

Bingo! It's not a determining factor.  They could all be chickens, and it wouldn't hold any relevance because the study of cosmology isn't bound by their religion (or being a farm animal), and neither are their findings.  Atheism is an opinion and a religion, nothing more.  I can believe its constructs for whatever reason I choose and call myself an "atheist" or not believe them at all, and still be considered an "atheist." At the end of the day, it's just an opinion about "god(s) vs no god."

Nope.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Usually, I pray for the lost but FSM spoke to me and told m not to waste my sacred words.

However, if I were to give a personal assessment I'd put you lower than the residue in raw sewage pipes.
