You are just defensive.

I am defensive against mosquitoes too...

I don't think you will accept any answers if it doens't include 'goddidit'.

if there is "no explanation" then goddidit is not an explanation. One logically and necessarily entails the other.
So saying that there is currently "no explanation" doesn't help you with your Goddidit here just like it wouldn't have helped you when the natural cause of rainbows was unknown and for the same reason.

No, I will accept your answers if they are repeatable.

So you don't suddenly believe in the genesis according to your black book? Because it is not repeatable?

Well done! You've learnt something today!

Let me know when something repeatable negates genesis.

an event doesn't have to be repeatable to be scientifically and rationally known to be so for there can exist indirect evidence combined with deduction which is just as valid as direct evidence. Such evidence disproves the literal interpretation of the Bible. For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretion_(astrophysics) thus the Earth took more than 7 days to form.

Scientific facts are repeatable.

Not to mention the, as yet, undiscovered white holes.

the evidence proving the scientific facts about an unrepeatable event are repeatable, not the unrepeatable event itself that evidence is about;

interestingly, there is a hypothesized existence of a (brief) white hole but so far this has not been verified because difficult to verify

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRB_060614
"...it was hypothesised that the burst was a white hole appearing for 102 seconds..."

If we skip speculations - what is a white hole?

I found this;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hole
"... In general relativity, a white hole is a hypothetical region of spacetime which cannot be entered from the outside, although matter and light can escape from it. ..."

I don't pretend to be even close to being an expert on this.
