Hi atheists and everyone else human here, please read the following two texts (a) and (b) below.
When you finished reading, I like to invite you all to identify the universe as the totality of existence.
So that the universe = the totality of existence.
And we will label the universe = the totality of existence as "the universe/existence."
According to scientists we know only a mere 4% of the universe/existence, which they call the observable universe/existence, and the remainder 96% of the universe/existence as the unobservable universe/existence.
Now, let us bring in the Big Bang theory and ask ourselves:
In the Big Bang theory, What is the relationship between the unobservable universe/existence and the observable universe/existence?
From my part as the theist, I say the unobservable universe/existence caused the beginning of the observable/universe/existence.
That means 96% of the universe/existence brought about the reality of the 4% universe/exstence.
What do you atheists and everyone else say?

(a) The universe is often defined as "the totality of existence", or everything that exists, everything that has existed, and everything that will exist. In fact, some philosophers and scientists support the inclusion of ideas and abstract concepts—such as mathematics and logic—in the definition of the universe. The word universe may also refer to concepts such as the cosmos, the world, and nature. -Wikipedia on universe.
(b) I now invite you guys to read the article 'universe' in Wikipedia. where you will meet these three phrases:
(a) universe
(b) physical universe
(c) observable universe
So, think now, really using your brain matter, and tell me whether any of the three phrases or all together be equivalent to the 'totality of existence'? -Yrger the theist
