We know this universe had a starting point and will have an ending point, so what started the universe?At its earliest stage, the universe was an extremely tiny singularity according to most if not all modern models of the early universe. Prior to that, no one really knows right now.

However, atheists are just saying, 'Well, you just wait theists we are going to find something that answers all this!'I don't know what your definition of 'logic' is, but no, filling in the gaps with a great magical trevor despite his magical tricks being ever so clever is not a logical progression of any kind in terms of understanding the beginnings of the universe based on provided evidence.
Thats a big assumption.
Anyways, you are supposed to say I dont know how the universe started or how the energy/matter came into existence.

How does adding a God or gods complicate things? Wouldnt it uncomplicate things?
Think about it, currently, anything that follows the laws of nature has a cause for its existence, only something outside the laws of nature does not need a reason for its existence.
So which one is more complicated God or something that goes against the laws of nature?
That is not a simple addition even though adding supernaturalism to solve any issues with science is an intellectual dead end in the same sense that by using fantasy to fill in for fact, you're pretending you've already answered the question.
I don't know what started the universe. I have no evidence that proves anything. I think it's certainly worthwhile to find out since no one has any reality-based answers for that question.
Religion seems to like to think they've answered every question science has challenged for as long as there's been people who confuse hallucinations and delusions with fact.
