Good and thoughtful answers but no one has come close although David is close needs to be more specific and although perhaps Raymos answer that it was the big bang lacks the single point...the question that is available if it happened, comes close and if nothing else demonstrates how even the most fair of judges can be swayed by other superb observations which although satisfyingly flattering unfortunately are not the correct answer as appealing as they may sound.
And although the Big Bang Theory Theory is our favoured cosmology I personally feel it's reliance upon the Theory of Inflation and that theory's inability to link to observational evidence relying solely on a math elegance certainly leaves open the question "did it really happen" particularly the assumption that the theory points to a creation event given the theory can only describe the universe as existing as a hot dense state without any inference that it came from nothing in the least which of couse would be necessary to call it "the start of time' or indeed everything. That it even hints at a point of creation derives clearly from the owner of that opinion holding some pre held but unestablished notion that the Universe was somehow created and is not, as is most likely, external therefore needing no creation point.
However the part of history that is indeed the most important does involve the creation of something, a one off single aspect.
I will let some time pass as I feel someone must be close to the answer...think of our evolution..what was the most important aspect of that story.
