Horseshit.

The Big Bang hypothesis comes pretty simply from taking the available
physical evidence and extrapolating back through time.  Physics says,
"Looks like it all goes back to a Big Bang."  Before the Big Bang? 
Physics says "Don't know."  Did God do it?  Physics says "Don't know."

Priest-caste, my ass.
