The question is, how are we best able to explore, describe, understand and explain the world external to the self?So it is the idea of creation that you see as a scientific hypothesis.
But it is a faith, just life the idea that the universe has always existed in one form or another is a faith and not something that is testable or falsifiable.
And the answer I favor is the science answer ─ explore the universe from greatest to teensiest by the methods of reasoned enquiry, which in the case of the physical sciences means empiricism and induction. What are the facts as best we can discern them? How might they work? Can we test our ideas on how they work? Will others get the same results?
One nice thing about this approach is that it gives an objective test for truth.
How would you prefer to do it?
