The Mystery of Science

I know a lot of people who are involved with science get turned off from a conversation when the guy in the opposite corner introduces God into the argument. I don't understand why, because God does answer something science can't.
According to science there was some all-of-a-sudden great explosion of energy which we call the Big Bang that started the universe. First off, very ingenious name. Second, how do we know that happened? How do we know that nothing just exploded into the universe? Or was it the collapse of a previous universe that caused the explosion of that collapsed energy into what we know as our universe? How can we prove that happened? If it did happen I still find another problem with this whole theory. By the way, a theory is an educated guess based on what we know to explain how what we don't know should work.
The other problem with this theory is this continuous expansion-contraction of the universe. It had to start somewhere, didn't it? Science has a lot of mystery involved with it; much more than most scientists what to admit. If the expansion-contraction of the universe is true then it had to start somewhere. There had to be something at the beginning to set off this continuous cycle of expansion and contraction of the universe. What was it though?
Maybe it was some strange phenomenon that we have not discovered yet; some odd arrangement of atoms that we have not tried or cannot achieve synthetically; some law of nature that we do not know about? Or it was God.
So the universe was either started by an being who always was and always will be, or it was started by some great sudden explosion of nothing. I find it easier to believe that God started the universe. But if you go the other way, with science, you are still relying on a belief that the universe just appeared one day and then evolved into what we know it to be now. Mystery at both ends.
P.S. - I do have proof that God exists.
