The difference between games and movies and the history of being is that the first two are finite events while the course of history hints strongly of an infinitude. Finite events exist at points in the course of historical time. However, as we trace back chronological events to our eventual starting point that we label as the *beginning* we are left with the haunting sense that it could not simply be the beginning. For instance, the Big Bang Theory would represent an absolute beginning point for the existence of everything in the Universe. But we are left to ask questions like, "What was going on before the Big Bang (when all of the matter/energy in the Universe were supposedly consolidated into a singularity of space)? How long was stuff going on before the Big Bang? What CAUSED the Big Bang (because in our understanding of history, things do not simply happen un-caused...exempting quantum mechanics for the time being).
There are a number of theories that are trying to explain this
using science. Just saying "goddidit" and stopping there does nothing for us.
It makes far more sense to say that before stuff started happening and history began was the existence of the eternal (outside of time), infinite God who then caused everything else in history to have its beginning.
Like Oni said: no, it doesn't. This "god" you speak of? yea, it's a figment of your imagination until you unequivocally prove it's existence. I have my own hypotheses about how x-tianity has withstood the test of time, but that's not for this thread.
You see, we are ever closer to viewing t=0. Especially with Hubble's replacement. We see that the universe is expanding, ever faster from a singularity: which points to a beginning. Yet, through all of the cosmological images that have been beamed down from the nether regions of space: NO GOD. He sure likes to hide, eh?

"Some people think God is an outsized, light-skinned male with a long white beard, sitting on a throne somewhere up there in the sky, busily tallying the fall of every sparrow. Othersfor example Baruch Spinoza and Albert Einsteinconsidered God to be essentially the sum total of the physical laws which describe the universe. I do not know of any compelling evidence for anthropomorphic patriarchs controlling human destiny from some hidden celestial vantage point, but it would be madness to deny the existence of physical laws."-Carl Sagan
"Show me where Christ said "Love thy fellow man, except for the gay ones." Gay people, too, are made in my God's image. I would never worship a homophobic God." -Desmond Tutu
