Talk about verbal engineering; they get the degree (Militant Atheism,Pt 2)

I asked the militant atheist how to explain the beginning of the universe. I pointed out to him the obvious. It could not create itself. His answer was that he didn't KNOW how the universe had its beginning. He considered it an unanswered question but it couldn't be God. Now my question is;for people who purport to be open to all possibilities they close themselves off totally to one.The possible existence of God. This is where we will begin Part 2 Militant Atheism.The tricky ways they get around issues.Verbal engineering. For tonight I wanted to ask what everyone thinks of our new Holy Father,Pope Francis. Comments welcome. Your thoughts so far.
