Default Frame of Reference
"If you are an atheist, and there is no God, then how can you explain the origin of the universe?"

Somethings are just beyond our current frames of reference and hopefully people will remain curious about these ideas like the origins of the universe and learn more in the future. This is different than concluding there must be a supernatural being involved in creating the universe because we do not have another answer.

The question makes me think of what ancient people thought about the cause of thunder. Their understanding of science so limited, they thought it must be caused by the gods. They had no other answer to what caused thunder. The question was beyond their frame of reference.

I cannot explain the origin of the universe, but, I remain curious about it.
