Well, you see, there is no evidence for an external force so no, it is not accurate to say 'must have done it'.
Of course there is evidence - and of the absolute kind. The science of cause and effect leaves no question of it; the absence of any other possibility - incumbent here, makes the premise of an external, precedent force one with no alternatives applying.
Thus far, the only response has been it is not possible to prove a negative. This is jargon. The premise of a causefor a manifest effect [a universe] is hardly a negative - it is scientifically incumbent to prove an alternative; the cause factor remains with no alternatives.

Matter and space are not being created, space is expanding.
Here we go again - jargon. Please explain how something can expand, with a compounding acceleration, hormoniously in all directions, where there was no space and matter before?The universe is enlarging.
IMHO, one possibility is that the matter possesses traits and attributes which are able to react to a command or directive; because it does not expand normally - like here on earth. Its like a war ship approaching the shores and laying paths for tanks to roll on; those paths are not self generating but subsequent to an external command.
Science is antithetical to random.
