You can take it any way you please Dimensio, it doesn't change the fact neither you nor anyone else has a working hypothesis for creation of the Universe.

Personally, I don't claim to have a working hypothesis for the origin of the universe. All that I know is that the universe is here now, but I've not seen anything that provides convincing data regarding the ultimate origins of the universe (even the Big Bang hypothesis doesn't work past Plank time) so I can only assert "I don't know", which IMO is far more honest than appealing to a supernatural origin just because I feel a need for some explanation.

Then, necessarily, you must leave open the possibility of a Supreme Being as one possible explanantion yet atheists by definition deny this possibility.

And by doing so, they no longer can claim the mantle of scientific inquiry because they have ruled out what is indeed a distinct possible outcome when all is said and done.

To be clear, I'm a Grandpa and will be long gone by the time science tunes evolutionary theory and the cosmology of creation. So, I'm interested in the big picture which to me is Creation.

Why is it, that many people seem to need explanations for things that are inexplicable?
