I assume that you acknowledge the Big Bang. If I am wrong, please let me know. Nevertheless, how would you explain the cause of this sudden initial "bang"? You cannot and no one can.
If no one can, then the honest answer is "no one can. No one knows."
But is that what you propose we do? NO!
So, you are, inherently, being dishonest.

No. Can something bring itself into existence if it does not already exist? No. The universe began and it had a cause. How did it begin and why? No explanations can be offered with any evidence to explain the conditions before the Big Bang. Yet, people, scientists and atheists included, merely accept that an unknown, unexplainable cause brought the universe into existence. Isn't this faith? Where is the proof?
Are you seriously wanting proof for something that is admittedly unknown and unexplained by science?
And you think I'm arrogant?!
How about YOUR position, YOUR opinion, huh? Where's the proof?
Atheism has indeed failed. Please tell me how you know you're atheism is true. Please tell me why any of us should adopt your opinion as the truth.
