Atheism is unreasonable

[Lek]

Careful with the word "nothing", guys. The way theists use it isn't really well defined. The big bang theory isn't a creation ex nihilo proposition, so if "nothing" means "non existence" then the answer would be we don't know, as there is no possible way to examine or measure non existence by definition.

Absolutely this.

The reason I'm asking is that according to scientific "fact" matter had to always exist and will always exist. It's really hard to fathom something that always was and always will be. Since matter always existed, it couldn't have come from nothing (the total absence of anything), but obviously some of you hold that one or the other of these assumptions is true.
