Personally I have always liked the phrase "Born from the unknown" because it comes closest to representing my view of the Universe. Science would probably find the phrase "Emerged from the unknown" to be a little less pregnant with unprovable implications
Please note that the title of your thread references atheists, but then the detail of your question references science. They are not the same thing. Even though I suspect that there is a high degree of overlap between the two.
