If something put God into action, then that thing would be God.

Do you hear me? If God is the supreme God, he can't have a creator, otherwise you are saying that the supreme is not really supreme, because it was created by something more supreme to it.

I am satisfied with smartypants answer. So long as I know that at least some of these believe the universe will expand potentially into infinity, I can rest assure that they actually do think outside of the box.

Your definition of science needs work.

usually the students.
First cause arguments all fail as proofs. The agnostics are right on this one.
But the ignostics have an even harder position.
They simply ask for a solid definition. Ignostics say that until God is defined nobody has a clue about what the heck they are talking about.
So far the only thing coming close to a definition of what people mean by God is that it is everything they don't understand yet.
The frontiers of God are contantly being pushed back by science as more and more of the world is revealed by people asking real questions.
Sorry about your God's death.

Not again.
Why do you religious keep thinking that you came up with this amazing thing to debunk science by asking "what started those forces?"?
You know what? There's a big bonus for science. Science has the guts to admit it doesn't know and then says "but I'll find out". Unlike the religious who say "I know everything because my holy book says so". The first is intelligent, thoughtful, and encourages learning, the second is incredibly arrogant and closed minded.
And, here's a shocker.....
Just because scientists don't know DOESN'T MEAN that a god did it.
Now thats going to blow your mind huh?
There's no proof of any god. Give proof and we'll talk.

It is the nature of the universe to arise as it is, much like it is the nature of water to be wet.
And for all of those who answer this "what" question with "god", I ask you; why? Why, if a being has all knowledge and all power, does it create anything at all. Any reason you give (other than one that echoes my statement above) will point to some lack in the "creator", something he/she/it wants. This implies imperfection, which I'm sure is not acceptable to your thinking.

If the universe is finite, and all evidence suggests it is, it may or may not have had a cause. We do not know what existed before the universe. Whatever was there is beyond space and time as we know them. What we call cause and effect, which is consistent with our experience, may not apply. The concept of a "first cause" is not within our experience, but regardless of what you attribute it to, God or a naturalistic phenomenon, cause and effect must be violated for the universe to exist.

There are many types of forces. I would probably have to start with a lecture on Chemistry and electrons. But I'm not a professor (don't plan to be one) and I don't have the time to summarize 2 years worth of Chem & Physics to you.
The greatest thing about science is that there will always be new & exciting things to discover, that is what drives us. And one must not forget that we are constantly improving the standard of living for all!

Not all sciences are about that, but some are...
As far as putting forces in action... I believe that the universe is infinite in time and space... I know... hard to conceive of infinity.... but... an infinite chain of events, cause and effect... no magical god.... just physics, space, time and matter....

I think that science in itself cant answer such a complex question. She as to be combined to philosophy and other related domains to make a better understanding. Science as we know it should be redifined. Seeing things from different angles could makes us see a bigger picture.

That's physics, not just general science. If you'd like some sources as to what sets things in perpetual motion, you've got a vast amount of reading to do.
