Student: A thief was caught escaping from the safe of the bank with bags of cash in his hand. No one actually saw him grab the money from the safe. But they caught him as he was exiting the safe room. The thief tells the judge that a MAGICAL FLYING PIG gave him the money. The Judge asks him for proof of the magical pig, or at least circumstantial evidence. The thief tells the judge to have blind faith in him. Will the judge belive the thief?
Religious Leader: Grrrr... ok forget the act of creation. Now tell me, what existed before the big bang?
Student: Nothing. If time did not exist, then there is no question of BEFORE.
Religious Leader: How did something come from nothing?
Student: To be frank, no one knows
Religious Leader: Aha got you there!! Science cannot answer that. The answer is "God created everything from nothing".
Student: How did God do that?
Religious Leader: No one knows
Student: How does God manifest his powers?
Religious Leader: No one knows
Student: What is god at a fundamental level ? What is he made of ?
Religious Leader: No one knows
Student: Ok, forget the fundamental level. At least show me god
Religious Leader: No I cannot
Student: Who created god?
Religious Leader: No one knows.
Student: So Religion does not have ANY of the answers.
Religious Leader: Get lost you sick idiot! I've got a job to keep.

boy... well tried. Now which religious leader are you referring to? Its a completely one-sided story that is being force fed by you to make your point. Religion cannot be studied with the yardstick of science/logic. Although several deductions can be made for making convincing arguments. Your 'religious leader' here is depicted as a weakling and that's the premise of your denouncing religion! Your choice nevertheless. As long as you are comfortable with it
