You absolutely refuse to see that the veracity of the Five Ways in no way depends on any particular origin theory for the physical universe. The starting point for all the Five Ways is the here and now and the end point where God operates is also in the here and now, across space-time. No one cares about what happened "before" the big-bang except you, HELLO.
BTW Your dismissal of uniformitarianism in the first sentence of your post shows that you are willing to throw away basic epistemological assumptions of natural science when they are inconvenient to your arguments.
