Atheists convention

At the convention there was a speech from the most (un-)popular atheist: Richard Dawkins.  This speaks volumes about biology and evolution, but what does it miss?

Most arguments in favour of atheism revolve around biology and evolution.  It's an argument that relies on a biological jigsaw puzzle, where most of the pieces are correctly placed.  However, there are some important gaps in the jigsaw; especially around the start of life.

But that whole approach overlooks one important fact.  The theory of evolution and biology (and all of Dawkins experience) says nothing about how the Universe was created.

How was the Universe created?  Did God create it?

Even physics is unable to answer this question; and there are physists who believe in God.

(Physics describes the Universe; biology just describes life on Earth, which obeys the laws of physics.)
