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

I take it I am on the wrong site?

Wow.... it took me a few months to figure out who were the mods and whatnot...

Not the wrong site, just too much text after too many pages on the subject. All that has been written, perhaps not quite like that, but... it has.
But please do make yourself known with an intro thread... right this way, sir:
http://atheistforums.org/forum-11.html

I actually did go through the 246 pages of this thread prior to my own. No, what I said was unique and not at all represented in any of the posts. (I am a speed scanner BTW, very handy in my prior line of work.) Too long? I put forth what I believe to be a pretty good explanation of everything without presuming anything prior except reasonable metaphysical criteria of what it means to exist. I failed to account for the existence of the universe in 25 words or less? Too bad. I organized it as well as I know how and broke it into brief paragraphs with lots of white space for easier digestion. Want clarification? Sure. Disagree with it? Fine, let's talk. Ignore it? I can live with that. 

So what did I get for my troubles? Basically sarcasm from a mod followed by belittling of my efforts and calls from others to delete the whole thread. I get the message.

Thanks to Alex K for reading (and understanding!) the post and offering pertinent comments. And thanks also to Minimalist for kind words and intelligent conversation on a different thread. But I can see that in general this is not the place for me. There are a few bright lights but for the most part the participants here - on both 'sides' - are driven much more by gut-level emotional urges than actual thought and do not even display much knowledge of the subjects they 'discuss'. My fault. I should have looked deeper before joining.
 
No need for that introduction post. I can see myself out. Good night.
The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.
