Most atheists I know (warning: anecdotal!) feel the same way.
And I reject that notion for the same reason I reject the Abrahamic God, Odin, Hephaestus, Jupiter, Osiris, Vishnu, Chang'e, the entire concept of the Buddhist reincarnation cycle, and every other supernatural, non-observable force that has ever been claimed to exist by any religion. There is no scientific evidence for a "soul", so why should I accept your claim that the Big Bang spreads the soul?
Also, all things are not elastic in nature. The most widely accepted theory in cosmology based on our current understanding of astrophysics is that the universe will continue expanding forever until its eventual heat death, aka the "Big Freeze". The theory that gravity will eventually force a collapse of the universe into a singularity ("the Big Crunch") has fallen out of favour with scientists.

Thats the challenge, I don't expect you to change. However, I do love your line about rejecting the different gods all the while claiming them to be identical. Its very important for an athiest to study what he rejects, especially since you base your beleif, wait system of law, on science. This alone proves that you have studied all you reject.
