To aver that God did so is to make the god of the gaps argument; science, not theology, as Clifton Richard Dawkins so notes, will let us know of the transformations in Existence, all there is, perhaps a multi-verse. The law of the conservation of matter-energy attests to eternal Existence. Scientists have to discover which bounce or bud or other theory explains this Universe.
As David Mills notes in "Atheist Universe:" Scientists have now discovered that even in a perfect vacuum, in which all traditionally-understood forms of matter and energy are absent [ so-called nothing,sg.],random electromagnetic oscillations are present. These oscillations represent a form of energy now called vacuum fluctuation energy, which can be converted into matter in complete harmony with the mass-energy conservation laws,. In other words,, the " nothingness" of a perfect vacuum in empty space can and does produce matter in accordance with Einstein's long-established laws.
...There never was a time when the mass-energy comprising our universe did not exist, if only in the form of an empty oscillating vacuum."
And as cosmological arguments beg the question at issue and the ignostic-Ockahm shows God as vacuous and useless and the presumption of naturalism shows from all that, that natural causes are the sufficient reason. .
Quentin Smith tries to show that there is a circle of causes that, in effect, show Existence creating itself!
Ergo, no god need apply for work!
