As I said, for the big bang to have a cause other than a being is inconceivable.
To you. It is inconceivable to you.
There can only be two possiblities.
1. The universe in some form exist and always has.
2. The universe was created.
The universe as we know does exist.
However what we do not know is whether or not it was created.
We know the universe's initial state was a super ordered condensed singularity that has inflated to a highly un ordered state as we see it today.
It is unknown, prior to this inflation, how or why the state of the universe changed. All we know is it did some 13.7 billion years ago.
What caused this change is
speculation. There need not be a cause. A self existant universe is just as likely as a created one. Except assuming a created on begs the question of who created it and who created the creator?
Personally I like to believe in God. I like to believe there is a objective morality too. I like to believe there is a reason de entre.
(reason for being.) I like to believe these things because they are more comforting to me than the alternative of nihilism.
But I do not expect to be able to provide evidence and convincing arguments beyond that of personal religious beliefs and traditions.
