Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.

[Esquilax]

1.Whatever begins to exist has a cause.

You don't know this is true, and you don't know the universe had a cause.

2.The universe began to exist.

Our current, local universe did. You don't know what came before it, or even if "before" is a valid concept in that state.

3.Therefore, the universe had a cause

Since premises one and two are merely arguments from ignorance, the conclusion does not stand.

many have tried to impugn it, but it stands like the rock of gibraltar; now genuflect before it and be thankful.

We don't need to impugn it: all three statements are merely baseless assertions. We have no need to pretend the things you wish were true are, especially when you offer nothing beyond your own opinions.

the best explanation of the cause is God. why? the data.

The best explanation of the cause is Santa. Why? The data.

You see how easy it is to make baseless assertions, Snowy?
