Any explanation of the origin of the universe will not be rational, you're just going to have to accept that a supernatural event took place at some point. I find it curious however that you state how you don't know how the universe was created, but somehow are quite certain that it wasn't God.
Woah... that's quite a jump you made there. From I don't know to it's unknowable and something supernatural happened? Kindly refrain from misrepresenting me.
Not knowing is not a bad thing. It doesn't mean that that vacuum must be filled. I'm okay with allowing more evidence to come in and answering that question in it's own time. And there is nothing to suggest that something supernatural happened. As a matter of fact, it has been shown that matter coalescing from nonmatter is part of the natural order of things.
I don't claim to know the origins of the universe. I am quite sure it wasn't farted into existence by a dyslexic flamingo. It is just as curious that I don't think that happened as it is for me not thinking a god created it. The evidence is the same.

If you have no peticular belief or theory on the creation of the universe then you'd have to take a neutral stance because you "don't know".I sure can begin to dispute something for which there is no evidence. You are showing your profound ignorance on every level. Your contention here is that since I don't pretend to know how the universe began, I cannot possibly evaluate the evidence (or profound lack thereof) for your claim? Come on. You're better than that. Probably not.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
