How does this refute anything I've been saying?
Oh they found 90% of the universe.
How can they determine the age of the universe if it had no beginning ?
What caused the big bang ?
Why is the universe expanding and speeding up not decreasing in speed ?
You are obsessing over terminology. If you want to define the Big Bang as the beginning of the universe, then you are perfectly welcome to do that. However, the universe "existed" in a super dense, hot state just "before" the Big Bang, so the Big Bang was not technically the beginning. It was the beginning of the expanding universe.
I don't know what caused the big bang, and I don't even know if it makes sense to ask the question since it implies that you could place the Big Bang on a timeline.
The expansion of the universe is accelerating because of dark energy, which is essentially a place holder that refers to energy we just haven't discovered yet but we know must exist to explain our observations.
I still don't know what any of this has to do with the existence of a specific God.
