Atheism is unreasonable

[dyresand]

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.

Matter didn't always exist. you take a event like the big bang time and space expanded into nothing. from their you have the basic element helium. Helium cannot form bonds when hot so millions of years later it started bonds with other helium creating oxygen millions of years later stars start to form. basically that's it in a nut shell.
