I am an atheist first of all. However I have always been interested in this kind of thing and I've been reading Philosophy for years now.
One thing that most people don't quite grasp whom say god does not exist is logic. Logic can give us a million arguments for why god does NOT exist, however for every million argument against the existence of god there are a million FOR the existence of god.
I am not talking about a god of almost all religions. God can be considered whatever is the meaning or cause of our existence. God does not have to be intelligent, benevolent, or omniscient. IF you step back away from the idea of a "creator" and just take the word god to mean who's responsible for our existence, you can sit here and give a million arguments for why this is feasible.
The only thing that people who support the non-existence of god can argue is to apply the technique of Ockham's razor which is to settle on the SIMPLEST argument. I.E. the theory of intelligent design creationism relies on the ideas of supernatural forces whereas the theory of evolution does not and is in alignment with our actual reality.
Side: Funny story- The other day I was talking to my grandmother about science and space and what not. My brother was sitting right next to me and I started to talk about the big bang and he chimes in and says the big bang is a bunch of bullshit (him being the religious sheltered child that he is or his complete daftness came to surface) and I just straight up laughed at him. The fact of the matter is that this is the mentality of most christian followers. I did not want to tell him that the Vatican recognizes the big bang as Science FACT and that the "theory" has been proven for over 30 years now in fear of popping his poor little bubble.
IF you accept the existence of black-holes in outer space than you accept that the universe began from a singularity also.
God or no God, humans are still far too ignorant to have any kind of really good understanding of our existence.
