Or it wasn't and came into existence with a 'big bang'. So how did it come into existence? There's no scientific or religious answer for it. You'll still be skirting the question with the old 'who made the gods' problem. I know what you're getting at and trying to conflate science with religion. Spoilers here: Scientists don't know these answers and just because we don't know doesn't mean the thousands of denominations of thousands of gods of thousands of religions of thousands of years has a true answer either.
>we are supposed to be satisfied
No one said you should be satisfied by it. That's what's good about science, you're expected to not be satisfied and to survey and question, it's not infallible nor claim omniscience.
>God manipulates the minds of top scientists so that they do not definitively prove his existence, which would ruin the point of his simulation. Each time they get close, he finds an idiosyncratic way to make them forget about it or dismiss the idea.
And of course it's the gods, or all created thereof, who are behind helping or hurting belief in gods. Ask a god believer and it's always god's plan.
