To me, the "we can't explain it, therefore God", logic seems obviously flawed. He does, however, make a valid point. If spacetime didn't exist before the Big Bang, then nothing could have led up to its existence. The only logical conclusion is that the first existence of spacetime was spontaneous. It didn't exist, and then, without any cause, it did.
I know we are delving into what is currently beyond human knowledge, but can someone please try to explain how this might be possible?
I can't believe in a creator without a creator previous to the creator.
