I have a dear friend I've known for years. In a recent she mentioned prayer. I disclosed for the first time, that being the first opportunity come up, my atheism. Yesterday, we had a long discussion back and forth. Short texts, nothing lengthy. She sent me the following text just this moment, she wants chat later. "I have get ready go a dinner with family. But where did the universe come from have the big bang? It couldn't come out of nothingness." Does anyone have a good, concise, respectful answer. I don't want be mean her. Maybe you guys can help. Thanks. **** update

Thanks to my friends on this site, I think i came up with an acceptable explanation. Took a screenshot. I suppose we agreed to disagree.

Even if you hypothetically granted there was a design and a designer, why design our star’s death, the collision of our galaxy and andromeda, and everything else to spread apart and die with eventual “nothing-ness” to come?

The difference between the beginnings of the universe being incomprehensible and the beginning of god being incomprehensible is that there is credible evidence for the existence of the universe.

Anyway, that's how indoctrinated she is, that she never even considered where God came from before. Some of the finest people I've ever known have been devout Christians but it saddens me that they fell for the greatest fraud ever perpetrated upon humankind.
