Hey genius, what are the odds of rolling one die two times and getting 5 both times? Lol.

The age of the universe is the easy question (and answer). My point was whether you can answer the hard ones. There are a lot more besides the ones I posed. For example, if the universe is expanding ... what kind of space is it expanding into? Or, if the universe is 12 billion years old, does that mean that time started then? If so, what came before time? Will time end someday? Or will the universe stop expanding some day? If they are infinite into the future, why weren't they infinite into the past? To say, "I don't know" doesn't help much. You don't know about God either. Why are you so confident that you do know the answer to this one question (there is no God), when you don't have answers to any of the others? If you can't give plausible answers to the other questions, why should anyone consider your answer about God to be plausible? How can you be all-knowing about God, but all un-knowing about every other fundamental aspect of our existence?
