One possibile way that avoids metaphysical problems involves the use of infinites.
If actual, discrete infinites can exist in our world, then our universe can exist eternally, and does not need God to create it.
That's the gist of the argument. But to develop this further, I need someone who is familiar enough in transfinite arithmetic and set theory to help me with a few issues first. If you're one of them, hit me up.
You are looking for someone to prove mathematically a theory of the universe that went out in the 1930's.
Good luck with that.
Might be an idea to update yourself a bit first on what the latest theories of the universe are and then start looking for mathematical proof.
You could do worse than start with Professor Krauss - you can find him on youtube. He does a very nice talk on "The universe from nothing." Its about an hour long.
