QM, like the other theories such as ST, assume that there aren't any greater causes to the existence and function of matter.
As far as the topic is concerned, while it cannot be determined when the (theoretical) BB occurred, because it supposedly started the parameter of time, then it may be just as logical to say that the universe is eternal, that it existed all the time, in which case it never had a beginning, and has no end.
But that's just playing with a single concept of time, it is ignoring all the other factors that require a source of power, purpose and intelligence etc.
