Let's assume there was a universe before this one, before the Big Bang. Any questions about how it worked are irrelevant and unanswerable. Much the same with how God came to be.

You assume too much.

But it's true.

Evidence of the previous universe are unanswerable because of the Big Bang and it's singularity (meaning everything would have been destroyed) and irrelevant because they have no bearing on the laws of reality.

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

First, learning about the operation of a universe that came before this one would have huge effects on theories on the universe/multiverse.

Second, science is continually determined to kick the ass of ignorance in all fields, no matter how small.

Hey, without looking anything up on Wikipedia or Google, describe in detail how the Big Bang worked, step by step, and how it came to making "Homo Sapiens" like you or me?

No? You can't? You don't fully understand that which you so believe in? To the full degree?

Neither do I. So, maybe you can keep that "Get the fuck over it" to yourself?

I'm not debating the existence of God. That's not something that can be debating, empirically. The whole point of faith is whether or not you believe without evidence. I'm glad you won a debate that can't really ever take place.

If you have questions about atheism or Communism, ask someone else, because there's a 99% chance they can explain it better. If you have questions about veganism, or are yourself a vegan, send me a TG, because I fear that I am the only one on NSG.

Ahem.
Christian Deism, in the philosophy of religion, is a standpoint that branches from Deism. It refers to a deist who believes in the moral teachings—but not divinity—of Jesus. Corbett and Corbett (1999) cite John Adams and Thomas Jefferson as exemplars.[1] The earliest-found usage of the term in print in English is in 1737, appearing about ten times by 1800.[2]

If you want to stop a murderer start with the Pope.
“Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you.”
― Christopher Hitchens

So you have evidence that the "Big Bang" wasn't created by God, and you fully understand and know how it worked and formed everything leading up to Homo Sapiens and beyond?

No, again, you don't. Yet you seem to have faith in science then in God.

You don't win anything except your attempts at ruining other peoples days, good job, you must be proud.

It's simple,

Christianity is the blind belief in something we have no proof for
Atheism is the blind disbelief in something we have no proof against

I prefer the more proactive side, cause if I die as a Christian and it not true I havent lost anything, but if I'm an atheist and Christianity is true, then wow am I screwed
