So, 13.75 illion years ago ... there was nothing and the nothing became tired of being nothing so the nothing which had neither thought or reason, decided to be something. Then without energy or purpose all of the nothing gathered at one tiny (though not measurable as there was nothing to measure with) spot and everything then was created out of the nothingness. Then the nothing, having become something, expanded far and wide then became ordered by the rules of nothing so that all of the nothing, now everything might follow the previously nonexistent rules. Further, with the addition of the magic of time (one of the dimensions of the nothing) the universe became ordered and arraigned itself so that at a random place, random bits of energy and material would link together and become life.

What a giant leap of faith if you ask me.

Nope, not at all - just the conclusion drawn from the evidence we have so far, which points to an expanding universe and therefore implies an age and initial state for the universe.
