For the last one, you need to understand the burden of proof and why it rests on the person making the claim.
I'm sorry, but "We don't know." is a very weak argument against close-minded christians.
Also, google isn't such a reliable place to search for atheist arguments.
Firstly, welcome to AF and I hope you enjoy your time here

In regards to it being a weak argument, well...have you ever used an argument that they haven't dismissed out of hand? 'We don't know' is the (ahem) God's honest truth. The crux of that argument is that god should never be the automatic fallback answer for such questions. It should be the absolute last resort, when any and all other avenues of scientific inquiry have been utterly exhausted. So far in our history, this has not happened. I doubt it will happen anytime soon, either.
I appreciate it might not be of much use to you, however. I admire your determination when arguing with these cock-socks, I pretty much retired from the art several months ago and am mainly here for the lulz
