Respected, I have read a translation of Nasadiya Sukta, Rigveda 10.129. I have four questions:
1) How is it that gods are stated to exist in the Nasadiya Sukta, Rigveda 10.129?
Swami Ram Swarup: Son, in fact there is only one God, who was in the past, is in present and will remain in the future being eternal and everlasting. God is omnipresent and Almighty and away from death and birth. So He is everlasting that is why He exists during the final destruction too.
Rigveda mantra 10/129/ 1-6 throw light about creation that at that time, there was nothing and no living beings did exist. So there was no learned acharya who could give the knowledge to the newly created living beings like parents who educate the children to make them able to speak language and to know about the matters like crow, animals, chapati, ghee, sun, moon i.e., all matters of the world. See, if a newly born baby is managed to live in dense jungle and nursed well but he is not given education about the worldly matters etc. i.e., mathematics, science, animals, sun, moon etc., then even at the young age of 20-25, 30 years, he will not be able to speak any language and when he will be brought out of the cave of dense jungle and will be asked about the sun, moon, animals, birds before him, then he will not be able to reply because he was not given the said knowledge.
When we see towards sun, moon, air, space, human body etc. It is clearly understood that the said creation has not been made by any human being but Almighty God, from whom the knowledge of four Vedas emanates. In Vedas, the knowledge right from straw to brahma has been mentioned. So in the beginning of non-sexual earth. The Vedas originated in the heart of four rishis- Agni, Vaayu, aditya and Angira, and from the rishis the knowledge of science, deeds and worship along with every matter is being given to the public by which the public became educated scientist and wrote books etc.

2) How is it that the Nasadiya Sukta, Rigveda 10.129, presents the dilemma of whether the universe was created by God or came into being without divine creation?
Swami Ram Swarup: Any matter in the universe can only be seen when somebody creates it. Without creating no matter can be seen, say Vedas. Now only the question is to solve that who creates the universe. In this connection all four Vedas and shastras preaches that God creates the universe. This large universe can not be created by any body else except God, say all four Vedas.
Anonymous: 3) How is it that the Nasadiya Sukta, Rigveda 10.129, presents the dilemma of whether God knows how everything came into being — or perhaps does not know?
Swami Ram Swarup: In this connection, please refer Sankhya shastra sutra 1/26 wherein it has been clarified that Almighty God creates the universe from Prakriti.
Anonymous: 4) How is it that agnosticism is advocated in the Nasadiya Sukta, Rigveda 10.129?
Swami Ram Swarup: No please, agnosticism does not exist in Rigveda 10/129. Even in all four Vedas and shastras it does not exist too.
