Cosmological argument for atheism

So this introduces 2 problems:

Divine intervention: God incompetently set up the singularity so the cosmic evolution was restricted and therefore needed intervention. His incompentence is evidence of a lack of perfection

Divine foreknowledge: God created initial conditions that restricted cosmic evolution. But becuase of omniscience he is incapable of creating conditions that he did not fully understand. The principle of ignorance states that this must be the case and therefore God is either imperfect or does not exist, or the principle of ignorance is wrong.
