People always ask this question, but they do not realize that they are basically doing the same thing , which is -believing that an uncaused nothingness, created something.
For something to be a cause it must exist, therefore 'nothingness' can not be the cause of the universe. I am not claim that nothing (object) caused the universe. You are claiming that everything that exists requires a cause. Therefore, if God exists then he also requires a cause. What or who caused God?

What is the difference between believing in an uncaused 'designer', creating something. And what you believe-an uncaused nothingness, creating something? Same principle.
I have never claim that 'nothingess' caused the universe. Leave the strawmen be.

The Big Bang created -time-and space.
The BB is an event and as such required spacetime in which to occur. The BB did not create spacetime, at most the BB was the first event and occured in the very first instant of time.

Since time has a beginning, and space(universe) has a beginning, then something caused it.
I do not claim that all things which exist require a cause. You do. Who or what caused God?

... but I also have the right to believe that the 'uncaused designer' created it. Same results, different initiators.
You have the right to believe whatever you want. I don't however believe that 'nothingness' caused the BB.
Freedom, morality, and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in
this; that he does good not because he is forced to do so, but because he freely
conceives it, wants it, and loves it.
