Bit long.
You seem to have gotten to a deist position which is not one most Atheists have a problem with. Extrapolating that to a theist position is more problematic.
As it happens most of the atheists on this forum state that they do not believe in God and do not state that God definitively does not exist for the very reasons you give (we can't know).
With regard to the statement:
"My rebuttal is that the Universe is composed of Matter, Energy, Gravity, Time and Space; all of which require being created."
Do you have anything to back that up? Does their creation require intelligence? Personality? A God?
As to Quantum Mechanics your guess is as good as mine. Its unintelligible in general so we tend to go with the opinions of those who can express their ideas most clearly. I quite like Krauss so I go with his theory until such time as someone eliminates it as a possibility and then we all move on another step. From what I have understood he has since clarified his "nothing" hypothesis to mean no particles, no fields and no laws of physics. Seems pretty minimal to me.
Oh - and the tooth fairy doesn't visit when she thinks she is being observed - I thought everyone knew that.

Kuusi palaa, ja on viimeinen kerta kun annan vaimoni laittaa jouluvalot!
