If as an atheist you don't deny God caused the existence of the universe why should it bother you if theists do believe God caused the universe?
I think it so unlikely that a god or god like being created the universe that it is not a possibility worth considering.
is that close enough for you?
Excellent...maybe now we can have a real discussion on a level playing field.
On what basis do you consider a Creator not being a possibility worth considering and what counter non-god explanation do you consider to be a much better explanation?

Quote:However, theists tend to claim that some highly complex entity caused the Universe to be. It is that claim that atheists don't buy into, because they are well aware that humanity's collective knowledge pool has not reached that goal yet. Until then, we make no stupid claims, like yours.
Theism is the belief we owe our existence to a transcendent being commonly referred to as God. To claim it is a stupid belief strongly suggests there are intellectually superior explanations for our existence and the universe or that you have some knowledge, facts or data in a poportion that renders such belief to be silly. Make your case. Enlighten me. Thanks.
apophenia,
Please feel free to take your time to respond all you want. I exposed you as a phoney several posts ago.
