What view of Origins is more profound?

RE: What view of Origins is more profound?
(October 12, 2009 at 12:21 pm)Saerules Wrote: The original universe is cyclic... so even if b and c are true later down the line: A is the 'origin' of it all... though a circle has no beginning.

What evidence do you have to support that proposition? Because the evidence i have shows that the universe is expanding exponentially(taken from measuring the red-shift on supernovae; the Doppler effect) due to the universal constant(lambda; the energy density per square meter of the universe) remaining constant(due to the influx of 'Dark Energy') despite the expansion of spacetime and may already have expanded beyond the point where a collapse(big crunch) and re-expansion(big bounce) are possible.

There is no evidence to suggest a cyclic universe, in fact the idea seems to be disproved by said expansion.

Also, B and C are supernatural and thus are not part of a naturalistic view of origins.
