In science we do ask why. Why do we observe A? Is it because B existed and did this? We don't mean it like: why did you choose the apple pie instead of the chocolate cake? In other words, it could be rephrased as how did this come to be? What does this mean? What had to happen to bring this into being? In terms of the universe, we really don't even know anything before Planck time. We simply do not know and the assumptions we can make are so limited we might as well not make any because we haven't observed any other universe and don't have a frame of reference. Questions in science cannot presuppose an intelligence that there is no evidence for, otherwise the question would only be relevant in a scenario where that intelligence has been proven, making it irrelevant.
