Metaphysics. Really. You ask "how is atheism rational" and then dip into the most irrational nonsensical area of philosobabble there is.
Well by your logic Santa Claus also exists in metaphysical realm, as does the easter bunny and the tooth fairy. They don't need creators either. They just are. They are eternal. Therefore they are real. As is anything else we suppose. Why bother with logical discourse at all when we can claim to immediately win just by making the claim?
And this is why atheism is rational and why theism is not. You are not arguing in the realms of rationality, you are arguing in the realms of irrationality. Rational discourse is within the confines of the human mind. That which cannot be proven nor disproven has no place in reality and therefore there is no need to believe anything involving it. Your argument is far more unreasonable than saying that everything came from nothing...because at least the latter can be proven or disproven. Your statement cannot. By the definitions of reason, your position is completely unreasonable.
