Atheism doesn't say that and it isn't a belief. Atheism is the rejection of the idea of a creator.
The big band theory suggests that all matter/energy (we know they are interchangeable quantities) existed at a zero point then expanded from then on (which is what that poster is referring to and has nothing to do with atheism).
The fact that we have proof (red shift of stars/galaxies moving away from us) is evidence that this theory is correct... I am not an astronomer and this is my understanding (from what, I have read and what I have been explained).
The fact that scientific theory changes over time, it is because like any form of learning is an iterative process. Just because we do not know everything about the workings of the universe at this point in time, does in no way prove that we will not discover these things at a later date.
And everything I have said about science has Nothing to do with atheism.
I can believe that all matter, energy is made out of very small pieces of penn pasta (I don't) and still not believe in a God, these ideas are not scientific as I would have no proof of this, however as I reject the idea of a creator, I would be still an atheist.
That was meant to be my point when I posted that image - it isn't accurate, it's quite obviously exaggerated to the point of being very inaccurate.
