Labeling is SO juvenile.
Or it's, you know, using language to communicate and understand. Why are you afraid of the label?
Let me ask you, when you see a new model car on the street, what is your assumption?
Do you assume that it was the result of hundred of billions of years of molecular shenanigans in a mindless process, or do you assume there was a car designer and builder?
Do you not understand the biological underpinnings of evolution? Because only in that context could you ask this question with a straight face.
Snoofers is right about the Universe, btw. We really haven't a clue... current debates in astrophysics include does matter really exist, does dark matter exist?
What about gravity, how does that really work?
You're playing God of the Gaps. BTW they just directly measured dark matter.
And science has a really low bar, btw... if we find phenomena that we can attribute to an even semi-plausible source, then that assumed source... some effect that we see... it becomes a working theory.
No, it doesn't. Don't throw around the lay usage of the word theory and expect to be taken seriously.
So, I take into account all sorts of information when I consider my opinions, which, also btw, I know are opinions rather than confusing them with facts.

So, all of that just to avoid saying yes, you are an intelligent design proponent. Got it.

God of the Gaps! God of the Gaps! God of the Gaps!
Ya gotta lotta lotta gaps... more and more each year it seems.
Theories of the Universe, matter, time are losing credibility:

The Trouble With "The Big Bang"
That we have no evidence for (or against) the Big Bang Event is the reason why physicists have a large number of different hypotheses for the beginning of our universe.
Besides the Big Bang Event, our universe could have been born out of a black hole; or it could have come about in a collision of higher-dimensional membranes; or it could have started as a big network in a non-geometric phase; or our universe could cycle through eons, as Roger Penrose has proposed.
The most popular idea now is that our universe was born out of a fluctuation in a quantum field. All these alternative ideas to the Big Bang Event are possible because we cannot look back in time far enough to tell them apart.

"The bombshell results that demand a new theory of the universe
Last year, our most detailed map of the universe yet suggested our understanding of dark energy has been wrong for decades. The shock result is reigniting the search for a better cosmic story"

"What's the Matter?
Are we consciousness? Are we matter? Are we conscious matter? As "facts" of physics blow apart our comfortable notions of what is "real" we are all exposed to a much broader interpretation of who we are and the limits that constrain us. Hold onto your hat because a quantum wind is blowing!"
