>all our physics theories imply that something cannot come from nothing
Except that we exist, and presumably if nothing were the default state and that were true, we wouldn't, so one of those two things is false.
>our logical tools tell us that everything we observe is contingent on something else
Except some hypothetical miracle basic thing that somehow must exist even though we can't observe or imagine it.

I don't see any good reasons here, just extrapolating models well beyond the scope of their intended use or utility.
Usually when confronted with an observation that invalidates a model, we would prefer to reject the model or at least acknowledge its limitations. But for some reason when it comes to the most obvious observation possible, nope the universe must be wrong.

What are the other contending theories for how the universe began besides big bang and god?
