Okay, you are ignoring the fact that I stated that when it comes to origins I was content with a simple I don't know. Of course in astronomy the most prevalent theory of the origin of the universe is that of the "Big Bang" and according to science this happened approximately 13.5- 14 billion years ago. Obviously there was no one around to physically observe this but there are tell tale signs in our universe itself that point to the occurrence of this event. The two main reasons astronomers have come to believe this is according to wikipedia:
The uncertainty range has been obtained by the agreement of a number of scientific research projects. These projects included background radiation measurements and more ways to measure the expansion of the universe. Background radiation measurements give the cooling time of the universe since the Big Bang. Expansion of the universe measurements give accurate data to calculate the age of the universe.
There are several theoretical and scientific models used to determine the age of the universe and most of it can be studied and researched if you choose to do so. All of these models have been formulated through direct observance of the cosmos and the remnants of the above mentioned event. Now as far as where the energy came from (first cause) to cause the big bang whether it was a singularity or not we are still looking into those things. That is the beauty of science! Just because we don't know for certain does not mean that we stop looking and call it god.
God is the easy way out to mans curiosities and life's most pressing questions. We don't know so it must be god. What was the first cause to a Christian? God!! What evidence do you have of that? Because the bible say's so and there could be no other explanation. That answer does not work for me.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
