Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.

My theory, based on the evidence gathered, is that you came to the conclusion god exists and then tried to interpret the evidence in a way that allowed you to keep that conclusion, leading you to make wild, unfounded speculations like the existence of extra time dimensions. My theory says that if you want to be intellectually honest about the origins of the universe and build a working model from the ground up, the scientific evidence will lead you to the Big Bang, at which point our understanding of scientific and philosophical concepts break down, and we are left with a big, fat question mark that in no way indicates the existence of an invisible deity creating the universe with magic. What we are left with is theists putting the cart before the horse with their preconceived notions by attempting to shoehorn their god into this model with crazy conjectures and faulty philosophy.

In other words, some people, for whatever reason, either need or want a god to exist and will twist and contort the evidence in whichever way possible to fool their minds into believing they are being intellectually honest with themselves.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
