Let’s discuss it over a cup of tea. Can you fetch my teapot? It’s in a solar orbit between Earth and Mars and so small that it’s impossible to see from Earth even with telescopes, but it’s totally there (trust me bro). If you can’t find it, you’re just not looking in the right place.
Many people, much more intelligent than you or I, have philosophised about the lack of human understanding in particular areas. What you are doing is attributing the birth of the universe to the “god of the gaps”. Your only evidence to support your conclusion is a lack of evidence to the contrary, and that is not a strong foundation to any argument. Any assertion that is made without evidence should be dismissed without evidence (see Hitchens’ Razor). I could just as easily claim that the entire universe and all living things came to existence last Thursday, and all evidence to the contrary came to exist that way as false evidence (see omphalos hypothesis, last thursdayism).
Hmm, I think I see your point and it makes sense. I found it a bit hard to follow, but the thing about last thursday I thought of also recently
I don’t think people back in the day were really more intelligent than we are nowadays though. It’s just that over time the storykeepers edited out billions of unremarkable thought, so the ones leftover are magnified.

My point is that your assertion is invalid. I’m making fun of you, if that wasn’t clear.
It’s not invalid. But alright. Have a nice day.
