As [/b]far as the cause of the universe goes, atheism-of-the-gaps can at least still seek a refuge there in the closing gaps and speculate the cause was non-theistic or try and criticize the science of the big bang (which is pretty solid by this point).
Or they can have explanations with the big bang, like there is no more north then north pole, just as there is no before time. So whenever time started, then there is no "before that".
