Nothing in the Big Bang theory actually require the universe to have begun with an infinitesimal singularity. One could conceive of an exact opposite scenario - Universe begins as an infinity and stayed an infinity, but each portion of it grew as big bang - that would fit just as well within the Big Bang theory.

Also, Tiberius is spot on with his Big Bang explanation. I'm tired of seeing people say, "LOL HOW DID NOTHING EXPLODE INTO EVERYTHING?"
Welcome, btw.
The Universe = nothing. According to Hawkings and Krauss.
The big bang was just nothing expanding.
Yes but nothing is still something. Empty space has energy.
But what if the average energy of empty space is itself a slow varying quantum flucturation that would eventually average out to zero?
Out of nothing comes everything, into nothing go everything.

Coming up with an improbable scenario, insist it be true despite the improbability, and asserting the knowledge came from an unvariafiable, but higher, source, is no way to ever learn the real limits of what we are capable of comprehending.
