It’s stll a presumption, and if we were to take Hawking’s approach (time started with the big bang, ergo, there’s no before in which causes could occur) it still leaves no room for a creator agent. Nothing happens without time.
So how does that work? We don’t yet know. It remains a singularity in our models.
But just as science is merely a (pretty darned accurate) model of the mechanics of the world we live in, religion is a mythical narrative of that world, based on tradition, and willfully modified to adapt to political, cultural and technological developments. The real world continues on its own and doesn’t care what we think… or if we’re around to think about it.
Religion’s contribution was that the universe… began?
