Mankind has always looked for it's source. It's just natural to want to know where we came from. Doesn't interest you?
Yes it does interest me. But if the honest answer is "we just don't have the collective ability to answer it yet"....why does it demand an answer regardless of intellectual honesty?

A creator is NOT intellectually dishonest? Why would you suggest such?

If you are going to bend the common use of creator, to mean "whatever preceded the big bang"....then sure, you can do that. But realize, whatever preceded the big bang could very well be "nothing".
But the more typical meaning of creator, is a forward-planning being of some sort. A god, if you will. And usually people really mean, their own specific god. That is what I find to be intellectually dishonest...to extrapolate the unsolved questions of the universe into the personal god of choice.

That's illogical.

I have not specified any god, but only a creator (of some sort).
What existed before the big bang? It's still an open question. Perhaps nothing. Perhaps another universe or a different version of our own. Perhaps a sea of universes, each with a different set of laws dictating its physical reality.
Nothing in that article negates a creator. Just more "We don't know..."
