It doesn't mean we won't reach a clearer answer (there is much evidence to suggest how simultaneity occurred back during the singularity). But an atheist isn't going to look at the unknown and think "A God must have done this," but rather "This is what we know and what we don't know."

I don't think that was the point he was trying to make...? And an atheist shouldn't look at the unknown and think anything, except for that its unknown. it would be terribly unatheist not to. But a theist, not a fundamentalistic, looks at the unknown and asks "what if?"

An atheist will ask why you even care to ask a question that can't be answered. A Theist will reply "Because those are the best questions to ask."
