   That is a bit strong. There is a current set of theories that when   
   applied to the cosmos and extrapolated backwards gives a pretty   
   convincing story of how the universe began with a big bang and evolved   
   from there. A lot of it is very good current science theory - quantum   
   theory, particle physics, general relativity - and some good   
   interpretation of collected cosmic data. I suspect given the immensity   
   of the cosmos (time and space) that even small changes in gathered data   
   and theory could make a big difference to any origin stories.   
      
   Or even if there is an origin story :-)
