That's a rather dishonest way of looking at it.
If a ball falls on the ground when it is dropped, it is gravity regardless of whether you understand what gravity is to begin with, correct?
In the same manner, the law of inertia states that a body will remain at rest or in uniform (inertial) motion UNLESS AN OUTSIDE FORCE ACTS ON IT, correct?
So, when we see the universe currently EXPANDING AT AN ACCELERATING RATE, we would conclude that at its INITIAL STATE (the current theory being a space-time singularity), an outside 'force' must have acted upon it.
Is that a scientifically logical enough conclusion?
But wait, we are talking about the universe. What else is there OUTSIDE the universe, hmmmm?
And here I am not even talking about how the words 'outside' or 'before' are entirely meaningless concepts as far as singularities are concerned.
