Famous mathematician and atheist Bertrand Russell:

There is no reason why the world... should not have always existed. There is no reason to suppose that the world had a beginning at all. The idea that things must have a beginning is really due to the poverty of our imagination. Therefore, perhaps, I need not waste any more time upon the argument about the First Cause.

Paul, an early Christian apostle:

By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen. (Heb 11:3, NLT)

Russell's answer is yet another one of those arguments of the form: "This can be proven based on evidence which I imagine someone else might discover in the future." Paul is saying, basicly, the same thing.

But there's a crucial difference: Paul recognizes this, and calls his position "faith". Bertrand can't, and imagines he's doing "logic", when, in fact, he is not.

Also, Bertrand was horribly wrong. Paul was correct.
