Yes the Big Bang Theory.

Even Kent Hovind admits he "believes" in God, not that there is any science behind it. Even you admit it.
If the singularity was the beginning of space and time then that would be a Necessary Being. If not and the singularity was dependant on something else outside of itself, then it's still a contingent being like everything else in this Universe.

God is the conclusion of a Necessary Being with the design aspect to life and the Universe.
The study showing we have an innate belief not only in God but also in an afterlife isn't very subjective, given it was a study that cost £1.9million, and involved 40 seperate studies in 20 different countries. That's as scientific as you can get.
What it proves is that it's natural for us to come to that Occams Razor conclusion first. But there is a logical philosophy behind it as well. And certainly such an innate belief has no evolutionary benefit or reason for being there.
