The only rational problem with Atheism

You are missing the point. I dont consider the big bang the beginning.

That doesn't fucking matter - most reputable physicists do. As the big bang is the beginning of OUR universe.

There have probably been an infinite number of contractions and expansions, as that is the pattern everywhere.

Quite ignorant on your physics, aren't you?
a) we don't have evidence for such.
b) you don't have evidence for such.
c) the expansion-contraction model has failed in it's predictions.
d) the universe is accelerating in it's expansion, which by the expansion-contraction model should not happen ™.

I am talking about what set this whole thing into motion in the very beginning, if there ever was one.

Ah, the fabled first cause.

Actually, I think you are missing the point...which is that no one gives a crap what you think.

Produce evidence or you are no better than the theist shitwits who spout off about their fucking personal relationship with god.

Modern science is, what, 400 years old? The universe, 13.7 billion years old. I'm not too worried about not yet having the answer to it's origin.

You guys have no imagination and no insight. So the universe expansion is speeding up, big deal. It will slow down one day and then heres what wil happen. Are you half wits ready: Objects will continue to gravitate toward each other, and merge. Bigger and bigger objects will continue to vacuum up smaller objects around them. There will become fewer and fewer of ever growing mass forms, until there are only a few. One of these will be so massive, a trillion stars, it will cool and implode, and then go bang again. New universe. Shazam. Xonage bitch slaps the entire small minded community.

Awesome.

Now prove it.

[Epimethean]

No proof will be forthcoming. Belief allows no such thing when it is not followed by a rational process to test it.

Redefining words already? Spewing bulshit is NOT imagination and insight. As to be small minded, well, you still have to deserve to be taken seriously. Do you think we have any desire to talk serious matters to pedantic douchebags?

Atheism has got nothing to do with how the universe started. So, it's not a problem with atheism at all.

Wow, Stephen Hawking can retire now, xonage has everything sown up. There is absolutely no evidence to show the expansion of the universe will slow down, in fact all theories show that the expansion will continue to increase due to what has been dubbed 'dark energy.'
