Oh yea, of course, everything which begins to exist must have a cause...except God. Firstly, why say everything if there is an exeption? Secondly, why is God an exception?
I love it when God botherers patronise Scientific Enquiry.
No, god didn't bless anyone with scientific knowledge. People rose up against religious dogma and looked at the world around them with clear, rational and above all curious eyes and worked it out for themselves.
The overall concept is...
Before the big bang time and space didn't exist. Therefore the universe didn't come from nothing. It simply wasn't, then was. The word 'nothing' isn't really helpful in discussions about big bang theory because our concept of nothing is directly related to space. You need space to have nothing...

Fundamentalism breeds no sense of irony.
Vegans willing to commit murder to further their cause is a classic example of irony. Just like pro-lifers murdering doctors.
There is no point to the universe or humans. That's why we invented God/religion and philosophy. So we could pretend that there is a purpose to it all.
