ID is just Paley
Boy, this thread got of-topic fast, didn't it!
Seriously, I didn’t think the creationists were even using this argument anymore.
Sure they are, except they've dressed it up in fancy clothes and some psuedotechnical gobbledygook, and they call it ID.

Sorry nobody's tried to answer your question ... daaaaaBEAR shouldn't have posted what he did, it was totally counterproductive.
Nodoby really knows. There are some hypotheses. It's pretty likely that "energy before the big bang" is meaningless.
It's possible that the entire Universe just popped into being from nothing, in what's called a "quantum fluctuation". There are lots of other hypotheses.
Some interesting references to read are 121 FAQs about Big Bang Cosmology (The Astronomy Cafe) and Ned Wright's Cosmology Tutorial.

Re: I'll give you the sum total....
That seems like the general reply. That's why there HAS to be a creator, because everything needed a "something" to begin it.
"We don't know" does not mean "it must have been created". There are many possibilities that do not involve a creator, and maybe we haven't even considered wahtever is the real possibility yet.
And, of course, if everything needed a "something" to begin it, what began the Creator? I know, you're going to say everything except the Crator needed a "something" to begin it, and you're not going to have any rational reason why you're inserting that exception.
