They start with evidence about the universe and the origins of life. And they talk, for example, about how finely our solar system and our planet had to be calibrated to support life. At “an extremely conservative estimate,” they say, the probability of our planet being capable of sustaining us is about one in a billion.

Maybe the system wasn't created by a God; it always existed, and therefore never had a beginning.

That is pretty hard to comprehend. Amazingly having a belief in a God that always existed and never had a beginning is easier to comprehend for most people. - tom

Most astronomers believe in God.

As far as I know, none of them believe in a steady state Universe.

Actually, atheists today do not claim the universe is eternal. Instead they insist that it suddenly exploded into existence from nothing, but that it was nevertheless a purely natural phenomenon, even though nature did not exist until afterwards: in other words, they claim the "big bang" was caused by its result. And if this bothers you, they call you an unthinking savage.
