No one has even come close to presenting evidence that the universe as a whole is designed; let alone this planet.

Quick "are you smarter than a god" quiz. (Yeah I've done this shit before. Sue me!) If you were creating a new universe, for the sole purpose of supporting life, how much of it would you make immediately lethal to life forms?

A) 0%
B) 1%
C) 10%
D) 50%
E) ~100%

1-Ask about the design of the universe: this question is very embarrassing to atheists, because the universe is full of signs. From the human body to mathematics, to the value of PI, the universe seems like a pattern designed by the same entity.

Ever hear the story about the small fish that found itself in a puddle of water in a street pothole? He thought his little universe was designed just for him too.

Personally I don’t find the question embarrassing in the slightest, I’m always comfortable with “I don’t know but I’m curious to find out the real answer.”

2-Open up the topic of time: human life is timed. Literally there is a cosmic clock, and the sun gives the time for earth. Why do the odds stack up in this life?

Explain how “the sun gives the time for earth”. You seem to be arguing from design, again. Referencing odds in the vast universe we inhabit doesn’t do you many favors either.

3-Why do we have consciousness?

Seems to have something to do with higher brain function if you ask me, for a more definite answer than a layman can give consult the fields in biology.

Here's two possible answers to question 3:

1) Because our brains have evolved to the stage where they are capable of meta-thoughts. How exactly this happened is not yet clear, but using the reliable techniques of science, we might eventually find out.

2) Some bored deity wanted to run a bunch of tests for which it already knew the results, and wanted to punish the parts of the tests that "failed", but felt this wasn't enough. It wanted all these parts of the test to be sentient too, so they could feel the punishment. This deity is awesome and we should thank it for the opportunity of being forced into this test.

Ah, yes, created sick and commanded to be well.

It is far more amazing to me, and filling to know that I am ultimately related to grass, trees, cockroaches, spiders, apes, the water bear, penguins, scorpions, dolphins, Venus fly trap, ect ect ect.

It amazes me that all life stems from Adenine, Guanine, Thymine and Cytosine.

The idea that a factory boss gave rise to all this, does not impress me. It makes much more sense to me, and is amazing that all this came about without help both in it's constructive outcomes, and destructive outcomes.

Atlas clearly has done no research on Atheist responses to these question .But worst still why is it an Atheists job to answer in the first place ?

They have these scripts, where the atheist sets himself up for the next "impossible to answer" gotcha from the theist. Strangely, we rarely follow their scripts. I guess God doesn't know what works on the godless.
