The big bang happened. Or there absolutely was a singularity and then bang. There is speculation about what caused the bang however. I have been doing some reading on intelligent design and it raises some interesting ideas at least.

Also, I don't understand why anyone would not be totally stoked about physics and astronomy. I've read 14 books over the last year and wish I had been smart enough at math to pursue a career in the field. Awesome stuff.

M Theory addresses what caused the Big Bang. It describes membranes, shortened to branes, upon which universes exist. These branes undulate. When two branes bumped together, the energy released caused the Big Bang, forming our Universe.
At least that's how a few theorists see it and they have the math to back them up. Math by itself, however, counts only as a proof of concept. Observation, whether direct or indirect is the only acceptable proof of existence.

Intelligent Design can be summarized as follows, "Existence is so complex as to be impossible by random occurrences. Therefore, an intelligence must be guiding creation."
There are two major fallacies that negate any credibility for Intelligent Design as a scientific discipline. First, complexity is a natural result of chemical chain reactions. Life is the most complex product of these reactions that we currently are aware of.
Second, what created the intelligence that creates complexity? Intelligent Design, like religion, attempts to mark a beginning point for all existence via an illogical creator.
