There. Is that a strong argument for me being right? Didn't think so.
Atheism does not *need* to explain what "started things" (your presumption that time is completely linear is somewhat simplistic, btw), it is the lack of a belief in a God based on the lack of convincing arguments/evidence for one existing.
The idea that a theory that says "we don't know (yet)" is somehow inferior to one that says "we know everything" is ridiculous. Many things that science couldn't explain 500 years ago can now be explained quite easily, and even used for everyday purposes.
Would you have lived 500 years ago, you would have used your "big man in the sky"-theory and the argument that it explains things fully and therefore is superior to rationality, which then couldn't be used (yet) to explain the things which only recently have been explained by science. And you would have been wrong, as wrong as you are now.
