For example, the singularity which has infinite mass and density is a product of our ignorance and simply cannot exist.
I hate questions like this. It is true nobody knows what came before the singularity, if anything.
But a super cognition is not required as a gap answer in any either case.
I could however see an infinite cycle fluctuation from temporary states of off, to temporary states of on. Just like the seasons change on our planet.
I don't see "infinite regress" being a problem if one thinks of "all this" as simply a temporary state that will burn out of energy, go to off, then at some future point after a finite time of being off, lead to a future big bang.
Either way, a sky wizard is not a required starting point.
