If pushed that far back, relativity makes nonsensical predictions such as infinite energy densities."

I would find it terribly ironic if science actually had stumbled on the way to prove God exists and then discarded the notion because it didn't fit with their preferred ideal of a godless universe.-Not nonsense. Feynman made the contribution of crossing out all infinities and called it renormaliziation. It works, but at what price? We are allowed to simply ignore the fact that our theories are half-baked! Quantum mechanisms and general relativity won't mix, just like oil and water, but they make great salad dressings.
