Universe's Existence

Hello...I am just doing a little research and wanted some thoughts.

As I am assuming all Atheists here are Naturalists, though I do not know what else an Atheist would be, I was curious what answers you all here have for our universe's existence, whether it be it has always existed, came into existence from nothing, multi universe theory, etc. etc.

FYI we are mentally healthy folks that lack belief ( atheism) thus been realists understanding the facts that we create thoughts with our brains. Been a naturalists is a wrong word since Buddhist and many religious-psychosis infected folks have the idea nature is an expression of the imaginary friend that commands them. You must realize that the Universe is everywhere and the most obvious expression of the universe is inside our heads composed of quadrillion of axons synapses activated by electromagnetism making matter ( atoms) become aware of their own existence. The result of 4 billion years of evolution after, by mere cosmic accidents our creator the sun came into existence. One thing is certain is that nothing is!

Christians and other folks infected with delusional beliefs think and reason like schizophrenics or temporal lobe epileptics. Their morality is dictated by an invisible friend called Jesus.

Leprechauns, of course!

What a stupid question!

If you were a naturalist, I would SO move next to you so that I could peek at you over the fence on Saturday afternoons.

i guess i was not correct in stating all atheists are naturalists? I saw that as the only valid general philosophic position for an atheist, what are some others?

We do not know, we can guess, estimate and go off on wild string theory ideas but the facts are we haven't a clue...

[us not having a clue doesn't mean that god did it]
