Atheism lacks an account of the creation of the universe (if it ever were "created"). I suppose that science is supposed to supply that. My thinking is that a scientific theory, such as the Big Bang theory, can't explain the existence of whatever field or space-time continuum that is needed for the big bang to occur. How did these particular physical laws come into being?
It's like Colbert's portrait. The picture must be inside a larger picture, which must be inside one larger, ad infinitum. Physical laws don't explain themselves -- and they can't. It's a philosphical or logical issue, not a scientific one.
So with that gap, there is reason to find atheism inadequate. So what's left? Skepticism.
Later I will discuss the "reality" of infinity -- and the concept of "reality."
