You're the one who applied the word "probably", and later as "discussed to death" to fly off on some tangential rant, right?

The only thing which science, etc, put in this sense, "owes us" is a "fair shake" and an explanation. But it's up to each of us to properly avail ourselves of that and to try to understand its gist....

Okay, let's all just assume that Einstein never heard of (a "guesser" like) Aristotle, and furthermore, that him, and all the other scientists, "instantaneously" appeared out of that "null vacuum".
