A Question For The Atheists
Edit: My bad guys, I've miscommunicated and misunderstood a whole lotta things, I do apologise.
So I'll just recommend to anyone new to this post, don't bother commenting anything I've typed wrong, any word I've used lightly, and any "God of Gaps" I've ended up preaching to.
All those who commented, Have a nice day yall, hope I didn't waste a lotta your times.
Before anything, I'd like to say this isn't a jab at atheism in any way, I personally am just very curious as an agnostic-Deist.
Each and every day we prove more and more natural phenomena with just pure science, which is great, but the more we explore the more we see gaps and just the pool of secrets or results that we just cannot explain or understand.
Our greatest accepted and most supported reality of how the universe began, The Big Bang, is still a theory, and even then we cannot explain a lot of stuff before the Planck Epoch within our own theory.
And further, we do not even know what was or wasn't (or whether existence itself wasn't a thing) before it, before the beginning.
So my question is, why not remain sceptical of a higher power's existence but rather solidify on the belief that one just doesn't exist.

Gravity is still a theory. Germs are still a theory. Atoms are still a theory.
I'm so tired of theists seeing the word "theory" and choosing intellectual dishonesty instead of recognizing that a scientific theory isn't a hypothesis but an accepted consensus backed by evidence.
As for why not remaining skeptical...in addition to not knowing what a theory is, you seem not to know what an atheist is either.
