The typical atheist does not assert that the universe has no explanation, in the absolute sense. They merely assert that if the universe has an explanation, the explanation is unknown.
The video posted by Jehanne clearly has Carroll claiming that whatever brought the universe about (quantum vacuum and it's associated laws) are brute facts that always existed from infinity. That is clearly a statement that the universe has no explanation.
Did god cause 2+2 = 4 to be a true statement? If not, why is god a "necessary being" who has always existed? If so, could god have caused 2+2 = 5 or any other number for that matter? Now, if god is a "necessary being", what can't the Cosmos be a "necessary entity"?
