Well, space and time are bending all the time...just take a look at relativity.
But I do agree with your point on the fact that a creator can't be an explanation either. I guess things like the multiverse theories make it pretty clear that stuff has existed independently from our universe and its creation.
Also, why sould we look for stuff that came 'before' the universe? 'Before' is a term referring to time and is hence of no good use when you are trying to talk about a state of being where it is assumed time did not exist yet.
Additionally, our logic is based on how we perceive the world to be working, so why should we be able to apply causation before logic came to be? We might have to use a different approach to logically explaining this...which I find especially confusing since we would usually say logic to be universally applicable to any situation.
Since all of this just points to uncertainty, I find worship pretty useless. We could as well worship a potato because maybe a potato in a parallel universe caused our big bang, who knows.
IIN that scientists make stuff up when evidence points to a creator
