You're right, going along them lines we do get nowhere, but do we get any closer to truth just by saying god did it?!?! Of course not, it's just a convenient answer for people that need an answer. They also ignore that the answer of god is a strange one when you consider god would have to be more complex than the universe he created, so it actually makes more sense to give the universe the attribute of "eternal" that they so willingly give god.
Of course if a god did create the universe than what makes people sure they are following the right god and it's not one of the thousands of gods people have invented over the years to explain things they don't understand. Then even if the Christians, Muslims and Jews have got it right, what makes either one think they understand how he wants us to live our lives and that their book is right? Then even if say Christians are the right ones, and the bible is the right book, how are we supposed to read the book? Literally? As stories? Not even the Christians agree. Pfft....nobody knows if a god exists and if one did certainly nobody knows how he wants us to live...Atheists are able to admit that, religious people are not.
