I just presented his theory as a possible scientific explanation for where the energy in the universe came from.

He meant that if an advanced civilization could somehow manage to harness the power of a false vacuum that they could create an inflation like the one in his theory and create a whole new universe from scratch. This is sheer speculation of course, but it obviously shows that his theory doesn't rule out "creation" (and I never said that it does). Like Guth said, "The way I like to say it is that we are approaching a scenario for the creation of the universe that is compatible with the laws of physics. That raises the question: 'Where do the laws of physics come from?' ...We are a long way from being able to answer that one."
