Atheism is essentially the belief that in the beginning there was nothing, and nothing was something, and nothing created something.
Space, time and matter had a beginning, even Stephen Hawking admitted this, so whatever created space, time and matter must be spaceless, timeless and immaterial. Also intelligent and personal, for an external cause of the universe must be beyond space and time and therefore cannot be physical or material. Now there are only two kinds of things that fit that description: either abstract objects, like numbers, or else an intelligent mind. But abstract objects are causally impotent. The number 7, for example, can't cause anything. Therefore it follows that the explanation of the universe is an external, transcendent, personal mind which created the universe, which is what most people have traditionally meant by "God."
If one imperceptible variable had been different at the beginning, the Universe would have never developed or it would have collapsed, yet here it is, perfectly designed to host life.
>No, we just live in one Universe out of many, that's why it seems perfectly designed, they were all created by the multiverse generator, which was created by the generator of multiverse generators.
And all the way back to infinity, right? Science can't step out of its boundaries to discover the beginning of the Universe because it is limited by the laws of nature. Logically, whatever created nature must exist out of its laws.
Under an atheistic worldview, you have no objective moral foundation to justify anything as good or bad. For atheism to be consistent, you have to accept that morality isn't objective (therefore, it doesn't exist), so anything you say is a worthless opinion that is a product of a material, chemical, and unguided process. Which is no different at all from the opinions or thoughts of a serial killer or a rapist.
