At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

My belief is that we don't know.  It's superior to all other beliefs because it's open to whatever the fuck the answer is.  Knowing the origin of matter would be a great scientific advancement.  Having a belief in the origin of matter doesn't do jack shit.  

In our life times we may never know the origin of matter.  From a personal standpoint, is it really that big of a fucking deal?  If believing made it so, then I'd believe in a shit ton of things.

On the contrary you do know where matter comes from, or you should know.  Think about it.  Matter comes from stars, which were originally just giant balls of hydrogen atoms that clumped together and went nuclear.  Over time the star cooks up all of the other elements.  All of the celestial bodies such as planets and asteroids come from the elements that the stars made from hydrogen atoms.  There's no mystery about the process.  

A better question might be where does the hydrogen come from?  The answer is that it comes from quantum foam but it takes a lot of evolutionary processes for the hydrogen to actually form.  It just doesn't pop into existence as a hydrogen atom.  

If you lived long enough you would see hydrogen forming stars in the giant voids.

What are we told to look for—earthquakes, wars, famine, disobedient children, people falling away from the faith, etc. Jesus guaranteed that every generation after him would see signs they were in the end times, so how long are you going to wait before you realize it’s not going to happen? Jesus told the people his generation would not pass before he returned and took up his church.  Christians either ignore this passage in Matthew 24 or they come up with some convoluted re-interpretation of the word “generation.” Those phony European proselytes running around the Middle East calling themselves Jews don’t have the slightest biological connection to Abraham so no they don’t fulfill any prophesy and they’re presence cannot be counted as the generation Jesus was talking about.

If he’d wanted to show that he knew the end times and these days in which we now live are the end times, he would have said something like “In those days men shall fly in machines that fly like birds in the air and they shall shrink the earth with those machines. In those days a man shall sit in his house and talk to his friend in another city and he shall use a friend talk to his friend and they shall talk the two of them and they shall hear one another as if they were in the same room even though they be in different cities. Beware ware for in those days a man shall anger the king in another country and the king shall bend his bow to send his arrow to kill that man and the king shall direct the arrow where it shall go so that it kill only that man and he shall not leave his country to do this but the man shall die of an arrow shot from another country. And in those days men shall hang great moving pictures on the walls of their houses and the pictures shall move and speak and make women laugh and cry.”

How long will the church wait for something that according to the Bible should have already happened?
We ok only have to wait till the end of our lives... Bonus! The same is true for you!

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Your belief system is the big bang and a "primordial soup" that existed after the big bang.  There is no evidence to explain how matter and anti-matter (if anti-matter even exists) came into existence.  Your belief system has no logical explanation for the creation of all matter.  Your belief system is not superior to any religion and it makes you very upset and that is why you attack with insults.  I have notices that atheists are very quick to throw out insults when their belief system is challenged.  Isn't this suppose to what theists do?  I seem to be keeping my cool.  Interesting.

Are you quite capable of reading different replies? Are you able to make a distinction between individuals?

Right now you give this impression.
