Science at most can prove the existence of a Creator. It cannot prove "God" as in the ultimate being, neither can it prove a god exists as in any being worthy of worship.
Although the proof of a Creator would make it more likely "God" exists, there is a lot of people whom simply believe in a "higher power" without believing it to be God, and not knowing what it is at all.
That said, the question, had nothing to do with that. It was simply what explanation do Atheists feel is the best for beginning of the universe.
At that, I'm curious as well. How did time begin? Did universe ever exist without time and is that even possible?
Of course not having an answer to these questions doesn't prove the existence of an intelligent creator, just as not having the answers to the problem of evil doesn't disprove God.
