To all unbelievers, here's a simple yet profound question that merits an honest answer.
That is:
Should not the existence of "something" uncreated and infinite proves the existence of "someone" uncreated and infinite - God?
No , lack of knowledge is not the best method to obtain a valid answer. You can only use logic by deduction if you know all the variables in the equation. We know very little variables in regards to the universe and how it all works.
Even so, who is to say that the God you reference is not an Alien teenager doing a science project?

But his ideas on Physical laws meaning the Universe/Big bang would always occur are not philosophical. It's why something comes from nothing.
A prime example of an illogical concept - not supported by facts and common sense.
to me such idea resides in the realm of metaphysics. In fact it takes an EXTRA Ordinary amount of FAITH to believe that "something comes from nothing".
And I don't quite understand why Dr. Hawking even promoted it.
But the fact is - it's easier to believe and conceptualized that "something infinite" or "someone eternal" exist beyond the physical as the foundation of anything material.
I have more confidence on this concept as it's supported by reality.
So Science and Hawking are illogical now? If you don't think it's supported by facts you need to read some Astrophysics.
Just because something is difficult to understand and takes years of work doesn't make it illogical.
Just because there's an easy answer doesn't mean it's right, plus it's in no way supported by reality.
Read Hawking's - The Grand Design and see if you can come up with any counter arguments instead of inventing sky gods to fill in gaps.
Just because something is difficult to understand and takes years of work doesn't make it illogical.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Existence is. How do you know it is? Do you go to a book, go online or ask a friend in the know?
Can you look directly at what is actually going on?
When and where would you look for the answer?

So the question stands:
Should not the existence of "something" uncreated and infinite (Infinity/Space-time/Sigularity) proves the existence of "someone" uncreated and infinite - God?

how does space expand faster than light?
big bang stuff.

OP,
C.S. Lewis has great quotes for atheists.
No philosophical theory which I have yet come across is a radical improvement on the words of Genesis, that 'In the beginning God made Heaven and Earth'. C.S. Lewis

Light must travel through a medium of some sort to be light. Space is devided into a minimum of two different types of space:
1. Infinite Space.
2. Finite Space.
Only finite Space can be further devided into different finite states of Space.

ya well, then the big bang, space and light expanded at the same rate?

For example, we know that spacetime is both uncreated and infinite, that "IT" always existed. Yet why is this NOT proof enough of the existence of an incorporeal uncreated and infinite being - God?
Locality is the notion that particles can interact only from adjoining positions in space and time. And unitarity holds that the probabilities of all possible outcomes of a quantum mechanical interaction must add up to one. The concepts are the central pillars of quantum field theory in its original form, but in certain situations involving gravity, both break down, suggesting neither is a fundamental aspect of nature. In keeping with this idea, the new geometric approach to particle interactions removes locality and unitarity from its starting assumptions. The amplituhedron is not built out of space-time and probabilities; these properties merely arise as consequences of the jewel’s geometry. The usual picture of space and time, and particles moving around in them, is a construct.
at this point we do not know. We are left with assumptions and opinions.
For example, we know that spacetime is both uncreated and infinite, that "IT" always existed. Yet why is this NOT proof enough of the existence of an incorporeal uncreated and infinite being - God?
Who are we? Why are you saying we? Who do you have authority to speak for? Why dont you say You dont know?

Show me scientific facts / evidence / mathematical equations that supports Dr. Hawking's proposal, that:
"Out of nothing, comes something" "Something from nothing".

Thanks for the quote!!
Yes, deny all they want - they will never improve on what's already stated to be the fact:
"'In the beginning God made Heaven and Earth' - Gen 1:1"
Just eight words (or so) described accurately and beautifully how it all came to be.
The CAUSE and the EFFECT!
