Besides the multiverse theory, there are several models going around: Reinhartd 's cyclic theory, Smolin's Fecund theory, Penrose's Cosmological Conformal Cyclic theory, and the Hawking-Krauss' model of a universe from nothing.
Unlike religion which claims the absolute truth with no evidence supporting such claim, science hasn't determined which model best fits the data. But slowly, it will.

No in your vernacular its "slight of hand insult with as many incorrect generalisations thrown in for good measure as possible into one sentence."
And you were doing so well as well. Just couldn't resist ye olde (the old) jab at 'us lot' though, right?
But I agree, it could do, but then equally, it might not. That's really the epitome of a structure built on pragmatism and not ultimate objective truths.
It's quite simple though! The greatest scientists embark on a pilgramage of faith. Some strike lucky like Eistein (who thought quantum theory was a crock of shite) Newton ( who knew a creator would create laws of nature) or Crick. etc. Scientist don't sing from the same hymn sheet, they can invest their lives in a project that comes to nothing, but they had faith in it, mostly to nought!!
