Even with the big bang.
What was before that?
A big rock?
And before that?

And then what about Earth.
Initally it was lifeless. At least thats the assumption.
And then :POOF: there was life. :birthday:

Now thats some trick.
Agreed?
"Trick" or not, this is known as the fallacy of "Burden of Proof" or "Appeal to Ignorance". To break it down, you're stating that A.) Something happened to create the universe. B.) Since no one knows what, that answer has to be "God". Not very logically sound. It's a good thing that religion is based on faith, and not logic.
