Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.

so why all this time and resources for the human species? it provides a framework to introduce us to God and his attributes. it also introduces us to our human nature, some parts good, some not. what's not good is it has the capacity for sin and evil. it also causes us to run from God and even argue He really doesn't exist. God's plan is for individuals is to partake in the new creation but they need to accept the freely given remedy to deal with that sinful nature because it won't be allowed in the new creation. so we find ourselves undoubtedly in the last 1% of the universe's existence making a decision where we go from here.
Uh, ok. So you have no problem with the 13.75 billion year age of the universe, but ignore the 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 year estimate until the theoretical heat death of the universe?
Or the potential death of earth when the increased output of the sun causes our oceans evaporate in about 1,000,000,000 years?
Why would God create a planetary home for his most prized creation that wouldn't even survive to the end of the universe?
Do these numbers simply get too large for creationists, and they go "oops, 13 billion years? We must be at the end of that, ain't much time left"?
