I personally don't buy the big bang theory, believing it to be based on a misinterpretation of the redshift. There are a number of alternative cosmologies that have some merit. If I had to put money on something, I would say that the universe is infinite and eternal, or at least that the big bang figure of 14 billion years barely scratches the surface of what truely ancient means (if a human can put a figure to it we haven't understood it). On the other hand, the concepts of infinity and/or eternal are so mindbogglingly incomprehensible that we might is well say "don't know".

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. — Edward Gibbon
