"How did a Universe come from nothing? If not nothing - then what? Explain the rise of the Universe without implying a supernatural agent of some kind."
The thing is - you have the universe coming from nothing a much as we do. "God did it" doesn't address the question of how God made something from nothing.
Basically you are arguing for God did magic and made the universe.
As everything we know of that was previously ascribed to magic and has since been explained by science has never proved to be magic this is just another God of the gaps argument.
We don't know how the universe started or from what. That doesn't mean magic is the answer - particularly as it has never been before for any unanswered question.
