I think most cosmologists are at least open to the idea of an infinite Universe, or Multiverse.
Sir Roger Penrose's CCC theory extends back to an infinite series of eons. - no need for a Creator.
Anthony Aguire (AG model) and Sean Carroll (CC model) 's models, both argue inflation with a bidirectional arrow of time. Under the assumption of Eternal Block Universe model of space-time, they are both infinite to the past and the future. - so no need or room for a Creator.
String theories Ekpyrotic Universe could be modeled as past infinite - imagining for example an eternal infinite number of branes existing in a higher dimension realm.
However, what if the "Growing" Block Universe is the correct model of space - time...? We don't know .
Then, when it comes to Inflation, the AG and CC models are stuck with a low entropy middle which exists without explanation.
Penrose' then incorporates an eternal regress of cause to effect, which one of the members in earlier reply objects to (how could we arrive at our present)?
The truth of reality is really alot of speculation.
It seems like the group here likes cosmology!
