Bet you can't explain this one!" I would say about 99% of the time we easily dismantle their silly arguments; whether or not they choose to admit, or whether they realize, their logic is faulty is another story entirely. But, for the most part, I can safely say that no theist here on this forum has ever thrown a curve ball at me that I either didn't see coming or haven't seen before. The most of you could probably say the same for themselves.
One logical and also scientific point that I don't see you dodging -because outside the big bang we can't even call information: information-; and also makes me never taking atheism into consideration is that we discovered 4% of the universe only.
One huge assumption is assuming that the 96% undiscovered part is empty of other beings.
If an atheist told me "God doesn't exist" it will be the same as saying "alien life doesn't exist". The 96% is a huge undiscovered area; I believe my God -as Islam teaches- resides there, he created 7 heavens one atop of the other, we reside in the lowest one, according to Islam.
Science discovered now the possibility of the multiverse. It is also discovering more and more dimensions that can very simply allow for the "7 heavens" mentioned in Islam. Finally; it had been discovered that the idea of the multiple universes is very possible.

this gets into the properties of the god you believe in.

If the properties of your god line up with the properties of the universe we do know then I am ok with your god.  Its the gods that do not line up with the traits of the universe that are troublesome.  And to make laws based on that type is dangerous.
