We don't need a time machine. Don't burn my fields as you beat the drum for retreat. It's not scientific to invoke a creator, of any stripe. You explain what you do not know by way of what you do, not by invoking manufactured concepts based in a predictable bias with no explanatory power whatsoever. It is not scientific to say that the universe was created. That's your religion, nothing more. You could prove your point any number of ways that I can think of, and probably many more that I can't. You've chosen this route because it's all you have. It still doesn't work, mostly because you don't have your own shit straight. There are people who make their living criticizing scientific theories. You aren't one of them, and there's a reason for that. You'd very much like for your religion to get special treatment, to be ultimately unknowable. Well then stick with that, and stop claiming to know anything about god whatsoever, or any of his actions. Up to and including some "creation" narrative. Everything we know could be horribly wrong and that still wouldn't make you right. You should "prove creation" by making a case for creation. I don't think you'd be able to recognize a fact if it bit you in the ass, seriously.
