That's not a scientific advance. That's an assertion.

"The universe had a beginning - Genesis 1:1,"

The science behind current Cosmology is not the result of reading about the Genesis origin story. For you to attempt to credit the Bible or creationists for that particular theory is disingenuous.

Sir Francis Bacon --- The scientific method.

A quote --- Novum Organum(preface)

But if any man there be who, not content to rest in and use the knowledge which has already been discovered, aspires to penetrate further; to overcome, not an adversary in argument, but nature in action; to seek, not pretty and probable conjectures, but certain and demonstrable knowledge; -- I invite all such to join themselves, as true sons of knowledge, with me, that passing by the outer courts of nature, which numbers have trodden, we may find a way at length into her inner chambers. And to make my meaning clearer and to familiarise the thing by giving it a name, I have chosen to call one of these methods or ways Anticipation of the Mind, the other Interpretation of Nature.
