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

That's fairly hypocritical of you to say. This is not evidence of creation. It is evidence that science progresses because it is willing to challenge existing knowledge and understanding in light of new discoveries or even just in light of a new approach to a problem. If scientists had been unwilling to challenge the work of other scientists in this manner, they'd be practicing religion, not science.

Articles like the one you link are written because scientists learn enough to change or overthrow a theory, or because a scientist decides to challenge conventional thinking or theories. In the realm of science, that gets you published in a peer-reviewed journal and your work comes under scrutiny. In the realm of religion, that gets you killed and your work gets destroyed.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
