I'm finding it increasingly difficult to take your statements seriously, so I'll only respond to this portion of your reply.

This is a good example of a strawman argument. We aren't claiming that the universe just popped out of nowhere. It's entirely unclear that there ever was a literal 'nowhere' for it to have popped from. As I said, there are wonderful books on this subject that are quite accessible to the layman and should be a cakewalk for an engineer. You do want to know more, don't you?

You mean you have no answer to my question because it's a fail for atheism. Instead you are posting something that I already know. And all any of you have done is a present a strawman argument.
A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man."Wikipedia
