Like I said, learn what the law of conservation of mass/energy is. I learned about it by the end of grade school so it shouldn't be hard.
I thought you packed it in?
Where did the mass and energy come from? When you chaosians figure that out, then you can lecture us all from your lofty thrones on Mt Elitism. For now, reality will just have to do.
Entropy will absolutely silence your giddiness without any doubt.

Seriously, is this discussion honestly over your head. I mean that without prejudice or ego. Simply as a question. Because you're honestly showing a lack of some basic things that make these discussions possible.
IMO, atheism does not require "faith" that there is not a God. It's a lack of belief, not a value set.
Cantata makes a good point regarding lack of belief and why it shouldn't be classified as religion.

A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.
The life or condition of a person in a religious order.
A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.
A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

Entropy will absolutely silence your giddiness without any doubt.
But for now, pack it in.
Why not take your quaintly self-assured psyche on over to one of the science forums? I think you will find your elementary understanding of physics and biology fails spectacularly.
