"Yeah, right. Then by what natural laws did anything go Bang?"

According the widely accepted inflationary model of the Big Bang, the Higg's inflaton field getting stuck on the energy plateau for 10^-35 seconds created an enormous negative pressure approximately 10^100 times that of all gravity of all mass. Negative pressure is the mechanism for which gravity can be repulsive (true!). This theory has been extremely successful in describing the pattern in the cosmic microwave background, which is why most physicists accept it.

Of course, what created the Higg's field and why did it find that energy plateau? I'd say God did it.

Define your concept of "God."

I get into a lot of trouble here, but the problem is in defining the concept. People rarely understand this aspect.

How did you come by this concept, "God"? What does it really mean? Have you ever 'experienced' it? Or is it just a floating abstraction that has no relation to reality? How did 'God' do 'it?'

To say, "nobody knows" isn't good enough because then you have to admit, you don't know that "God did it."

I will say this one time. I'm not questioning your belief. I'm questioning HOW you know your belief. Until you can answer that, you have nothing really.
