@TheMuslim,
Assuming that these scientists mean what you think they mean - that time indeed had a beginning at this point 13.7 billion years ago. In this case, it makes no sense to talk about the creation of the universe, for this is a temporal concept. Your concept of creating something does not apply if time does not exist. There is no "before time". If you want to invoke a beginning of time at the big bang, you have yourself killed your argument, in my opinion.
