You do realise there is no comfort in those answers for you Paul.

If I apply your same requirement you are setting on science to religion and I accept there is a creator who created the creator?

This becomes the russian doll problem and it is historic within religious circles from my readings on religion.

We have done a few of those deductive argument dances if you look carefully.

The bottom line for me is unlike you I don't care why everything exists I already know the answer is impossible, I just want to want to understand how it works we call that science.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
