Time is a dimension peculiar to the universe, but the singularity that initiated the universe was there beyond time and whatever caused it to explode was there as well. You can call it God or whatever else makes you happy but whatever it is that you called it nonetheless came to be ex nihilo so far as we can reason.
Thus far, science can only take us back as far as the singularity, sort of, but science has never claimed that nothing preceded it. Science cannot do that, at least not with our current limitations.

Then why do so many "scientists" bash their heads trying to claim God did not play a part in our origins? You know they can't claim that, I know they can't claim that. Yet they claim it as Cannon.
