You've got to be kidding me.
you can get the basic point by looking at entropy. An unordered system is not likely to become ordered over time
Entropy can globally increase while decreasing locally without any violation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. You don't need to write a book about it, it's that simple.
Eternal uncreated existence is required.
This is solved equally by presuming the existence of a "void" just as well as presuming an all powerful creator. Occam's razor prefers the void.
Secondly, most atheists (most people in general) don't know nearly enough philosophy to understand the actual arguments
Atheists know more about religion than religious people do. The real problem is that theologians don't know enough about science to understand that they're spouting nonsense.
You need to look at the credentials of the authority figure you are trusting to know if they have a reasonable position or not.
Seriously? What sort of credentials are valid? Is the pope credentialed enough? What about the Dalai Lama? What happens when they disagree? Do you have anything to offer other than a fallacious argument from authority?
No, short of actual being an acutal first hand witness to the big bang, the only sorts of credentials that matter are scientific. If philosophy actually worked in order to figure out how the world works, we would have invented quantum physics in ancient greece. No, we had to wait until the scientific method was invented, because it's the ONLY method that can actually tell us whether something is true or not.
they assume that if it exists in any way, it can be reached scientifically, and that anything that cannot be reached scientifically, cannot exist
That's not an assumption. That's practically the definition of existence. If if affects this universe, it must be detectable by science. If it doesn't affect this universe, then whether it exists or not is entirely moot.
You can't prove they do (except God, or at least some "supernatural" thing that follows the conditions required to create our universe) but that would be where the whole "faith" thing comes into play.
Which is exactly why "faith" is a really bad idea. There are infinitely many things that cannot be proven to exist, and cannot be proven not to exist. If you're intellectually honest, you have to either believe in all of them or none of them.
