can confidently assert that "there is no God", then could you explain for me how the earth can still be spinning at almost 1,000 mph, while orbiting the sun at 66,000 mph, and our entire solar system is spinning at some 43,000 mph in our "local standard of rest" within the galaxy and the solar systems with that "local standard of rest" are traveling around the galaxy at 483,000 mph, and the galaxy itself is traveling at 1.3 million mph?

If "there is no God" then there must be no beginning to the universe, because if there was ever only "nothing" then nothing else could come into existence, for sans a God, "something" could never come from "nothing".
If there was no beginning, then time stretches out infinitely behind us. The laws of thermodynamics tell us that given enough time everything will slow down and eventually stop. They tell us that there is no such thing as a perpetual motion machine. An infinite amount of time is clearly more than enough time for everything to have slowed and come to a stop long before now... and yet our entire solar system is traveling 1.3 million miles per hour.
Similarly, the laws of thermodynamics tell us that heat will always transfer to objects with less heat until everything is the same temperature given enough time. Again, with an infinite amount of time behind us (assuming there is no God and therefore no beginning), then how do you explain the fact that there are vast differences in temperature between the stars and the frozen planets?
