What is your evidence the universe did?
Is the universe infinite?
What is a singularity?
Was all matter compressed into a space smaller than the size of a sub-atomic particle?
What caused it to change?

You've done this before.
That means the two of you should be able to provide really clear, concise refutations.
Please do.
composition fallacy, fallacy of equivocation and general idiocy, for starters
a quick search on the forums alone would've told you that and much more.
Oh, general idiocy.
Yeah, I overlooked that. Never mind.

If science is all-powerful, can it make a rock so big that even it can't lift it?
Science is a set of very successful methods for determining the truth about the real world. Scientists have made great progress using the scientific method both in understanding and technology. But scientists have not answered all questions and there are questions they will never answer. And it is better to know that you do not have an answer than to pretend that you do.
And it is your contention that Christians are pretending to have answers that they do not really have.
Is it possible that they have a few to those questions that science will never answer?
