by virtue of extrapolation, science and god run into the same issue. First Cause. What caused the Big Bang?
Theists get around this, ineffectively I might add, by insisting that god was the first cause and always was with no before god. Science on the other hand has not come up with a viable 'First Cause' either. The latest greatest, that I am aware of, is that a uncaused fluctuation in the pre Big Bang universe/world/space (stick whatever word or description you would like here) led to the explosion of a singularity. Either scenario still has a multitude of issues, mainly what was before the First Cause?
Once one dismisses time, before and after cease to exist which eliminates first causes and infinite regression. This would mean that everything, every possibility exists now. Quantum physics equations even suggest this possibility.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
