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

If there was something else, what was it, and where did that come from?
If there was nothing then it violates cause and effect.

You seem to operate under the delusion that if we don't have an answer, that means yours is correct. I'd say your guess is as good as ours, but that's obviously not the case.

Since the total mass-energy of the universe is zero, there is no violation.

If you do not know the cause then you have not answered the origin question at all.

I am sorry that your childish mind can't abide "we don't know" as an answer.

We don't know yet. We're working on it.

Pro tip: You don't know, either.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

You said "we do not know,." That means you have admitted that you do not know. We agree then that you do not know. I disagree with you about me. I do know.

But how can you who said he does not know, know whether I know or not. You cannot know because you already said you do not know.

For the same reason that even though I can't explain how quantum mechanics meshes with relativity, I know the answer isn't cheese.

You "know." Yeah, I think I'll wait for that evidence we keep asking for. What's the problem Grace -- intellectual constipation? Can't quite push out that startling Nobel-worthy proof for your claims that would doubtless convert everyone on this site if it was as compelling as you say it is?

Or are you just full of shit as usual?

You do not. You believe, but you don't know.

There doesn't have to be a cause if causality (cause and effect) breakdown at the origin. Yes, there may not be a cause to the universe *gasp*

Our understanding of causality may not even be coherent in the absence of spacetime. The OP claims constraints that may not even exist.

Because, moron, knowing is not a mere assertion. it must be arrived at following a process thousands of years more advanced than that which shat out your bible, and at the conclusion of which it must demonstrably meet rigorous standards far beyond the wildest imagination of mere christians like you.

So, we do not need to know it in order to know that you do not know it. Just as one does not need to quite know how to solve particular problem in calculus in order to know some moron who demonstrated total ignorance of algebra certainly would not know how to solve that same problem.

If you still can't follow that, then take that handicap of yours as proof that you are not qualified to opine, and exhibit your "christain" humility, shut up and go away.

We have some evidence that is consistent with several hypotheses and theories.

You have no evidence.
