"As the universe decreased in density and temperature, the unified gauge symmetry at the Planck scale was broken spontaneously into a sequence of different forces. First quantum chromodynamics peeled off, then electroweak became two separate fields. Disturbances appeared in the electromagnetic field and there was light."
To have this instead is no explanation at all:
"God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
Your explanation begins with the universe already existing.
No shit,.
