That's a good question. But plugging that gap with another mystery isn't
going to get a rational person any further down the road to understanding.
And cosmologists may eventually figure it out. Or not.

Some have postulated continual or multiple big bangs. This isn't my field.
If it interests you, get a recent graduate level cosmology text book and
start perusing some top-shelf peer-reviewed journals on the topic.
The state of the science of cosmology, gaps and all, does no unhinge me to
the point of postulating an imaginary god. How would that provide any
further explanation than what we have now?
