Various theoretical constructs about the way the earliest universe
evolved have to do with the nature of space-time and I don't think
anyone proposes them as an alternative to God. The point is there is
now realized no need to insert a first cause into things, since that is
based on philosophical notions that can be shown logically false, much
as they appeal to us to be unavoidable, that is just a limit in our
thinking, much as the idea of a universal up and down are false.
One
could as well attribute the germination of a seed as a divine
intervention, and metaphorically many still do, but it is not necessary
and gets in the way of actual knowledge.
