For those talking about the Big Bang - I'm interested to hear the atheist view of what caused it/how it happened. I know this is purely ideas without facts, but the idea that the universe exploded into existence from basically nothing seems very...powerful. I'd love to hear your theories.

The Big Bang theory doesn't state the universe exploded into existence from nothing or basically nothing. That really isn't close to the big bang theory at all.

Forgive my ignorance as it's been awhile since I've studied it. From my memory it was believed that there was one extremely tiny (like, the size of an atom) piece of matter that was insanely dense and it suddenly burst (the big bang) and spread its matter. One fact pointing to this is the universe is expanding at a constant rate, and if you basically (rewind) it to it's beginning it's the logical beginning. 

I admit this is a super, super simplistic view, and also I could be wrong (I read Stephen Hawkings book decades ago). Please fix what I'm getting wrong if you have time.
