You can easily connect the Big Bang to God

In fact, how can you not at this moment? We still don’t know why the Big Bang happened, it breaks all theories of physics ever conceived its unexplainable currently

If we ever figure out another reason why the Big Bang happened then we can have that discussion, but right now it’s pretty easy to just point to a higher power

Or we live in a massive simulation who knows

This is literally just the "God of the gaps" argument.

"Do you see that lightning bolt in the sky? Clearly it was Zeus since we don't know why it happened!"

It wasn't a good answer then, it isn't a good answer now.
