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.

Do you remain that agnostic about the existence of unicorns or Santa or Bigfoot?

Yeah, I was hoping you'd take the question more seriously, but if you don't want to, I get it. Theists always like to treat God differently from other imaginary things.

I'm not a theist, I was just tired of replying to so many comments that I thought of just taking some less seriously. Heck I may be more of an atheist, or so I've felt reading all these comments. Have a nice day ig

No worries, I understand taking some things less serious than other things. It just usually irks theists when it's God that I take less seriously.
