No one has witnessed it, and it was, what is the claim? 13 Billion years ago? The history of this world is in question let alone that of the universe.

read the op but not the other 64 pages lol, so if this has been said already i apologize.
the thing is this, the incontrovertible fact in the op is only incontrovertible according to the physical laws of our universe.
anywho, before the big bang, every physical law that we presently accept as facts did not exist, even time itself, so basically anything was possible, including the creation of the universe from nothing.
so it is totally possible that god just snapped his fingers and made the universe sure, and its also impossible to disprove.

Seems like a lot question God to me. Leaves them grasping at straws. It's really sad.

With that you are left to examine the material world for clues. Life itself is pretty convincing. It is either an unfathomable series of natural coincidences, perpetual no less, or it has a higher origin.
Nearly everyone here has never seen God, but everyone here has observed nature and accidents. Over time things in nature deteriorate and accidents do not increase structure.
Getting to the point where a living cell exists in nature in not even a possibility. You need thousands of proteins (correctly folded) and many cell parts that never, ever exist outside the cell. The probability of a guiding hand, IMO, is much greater than only chance.

You have to get a cell first. How do you get a cell? Not even any protein for a cell.
