It would be safe to say that with certainty, you don't believe I can fly. Why? Because it's an absurd claim. You'd be even more certain if there was no evidence.
Your right, I don't know how it all began. I have no idea. But that doesn't mean a magic man In the sky did it. There is no basis for that conclusion.
Show me evidence and I will reconsider. Until then I am certain he doesn't exist; same as your certain I cannot fly.
Avoiding the question, and deflecting into silly strawman arguments is a poor debate tactic.
It's what people do when they have no answer.
We were never talking about whether or not you can fly.
But you had no answer... so you deflect.
The reality is, you have no answer to the "first cause".
You have nothing.
You have NOTHING, and anything you DO try to postulate breaks your own laws of physics.
You are sitting there with NOTHING...
and yet you have FAITH that somehow the universe created itself,
and you have FAITH that your theories (with no proof)
must SOMEHOW, MYSTERIOUSLY, be AUTOMATICALLY better than a theist view...
because...
your theory is the one YOU happen to have FAITH in.
There certainly isn't any proof for it.
