"all sounds highly implausible"
Very scientific, that! It seems "highly implausible" to millions who choose to ignore the evidence in order to live on in their sin. Far more implausible, based on science, is that matter an useable energy are eternal. If there was ever a time in the past when there was nothing, then nothing is what we would have today. String theory and multiple universe conjecture is nothing more than proof that scientists understand this and are coming up with very creative ideas, unproven. It would be one thing had God not told us what He had done and is doing. Far more plausible is the answer that in order for there to be anything today, something, or Someone, must have as a necessary function of their being eternal existence. We already know *via science and observation* that this does not apply to matter. That Someone is God!
