It's truly amazing to watch the hypocritcal double standard employed by some. They utterly reject science if it can't completely explain, in two paragraphs or less, every mystery of the universe and do so in terms simple enough for a 3rd grader to understand.

Then in the next breath they fling their arms around and totally embrace an explanation for the universe that has no hard evidence at all and is basically dependent on accepting the word of people over 2000 years ago who still believed in witches, werewolves and vampires.

If God exists then it is reasonable to assume He influenced the creation of Scripture. That by itself does not offer evidence for the existence of God but it explains why Christians accept Scripture as more than simply the writings of men. IOW, Christians believe Scripture is divinely inspired.

You seem to be missing the point by a large margin. There is NO discovered science of any degree of complication or available to the brightest mind which explains the creation of time and matter. None. Zero. The existing science backed by empirical evidence points to the creation of time and matter at a finite point in the past. IOW, the existing science says there was a beginning.
