I'm still of the notion the universe never had a 'start'. Maybe what we know as the universe had a start, but not the whole thing (everything). Our ignorance knows no bounds. A current understanding, does not mean an overall understanding.
To my drug addled mind, big bang is just as credible as giant space ghosts creating it on a whim. Scientists and Creationists aren't so different when it comes to the creation of what we call our universe.
It always has been, it always will be, whatever 'it' is. I'm sure the earth is a universe for something like an ant, but just because that is their current understanding, does not make it truth, no matter how loud the ant screams it at the sky.
Just opinion. Like most everybody else, I've only been here a few decades, and like everyone else, I'm ignorant to the truth because I am mortal.
