Ah yes the universe came from nothing and time started by itself. Don’t question it people or this man sends you to jail.

You clearly misunderstand what it is to be an atheist. The whole point is to question it. As new evidence (yes, it’s based on evidence) surfaces, we change our “beliefs” accordingly.

Atheism is not belief in the big bang, atheism is belief in whatever scientific theory is currently best supported by evidence.

Atheism means that you say you are 100% certain there is no god. A-Theism. It’s the word.

The problem is that there is still no clear evidence for the origins for time and the universe. You cannot start claiming god doesn’t exist without having clear evidence for it

It’s scientifically close to impossible to prove the non-existence of something. Even green elephants.

As for time and space… I don’t see the slightest evidence of “god did it”. For me, the chance of finding a green Elephant seems way higher. Because it seems at least possible.

Well if you insist on pedantry, “atheism” doesn’t mean a belief that gods don’t exist, it’s a lack of belief in gods. Think “asexual”: it’s not an aversion to sex, just a lack of sex drive. You are describing antitheism, and many self-described atheists are actually antitheists.

You cannot start claiming god doesn’t exist without having clear evidence for it

Incorrect, you are the one with the spectacular claim and the burden of proof lies on you. Prove that gods exist.
