In order for there not to be an infinite regress, and infinite regress is illogical when actual existence is acknowledged, because actual existence cannot be actualized in an infinite regress...therefore, there must be an uncaused or uncreated that is the cause for all that is extant. So either the universe itself is uncaused and eternal without beginning or something else is. Most of your cosmologists have eliminated the former idea.
I have no idea who your sources are; if you are alluding to the BGV theorem, here it is:
Inflationary spacetimes are not past-complete
I have read the paper (it's only 4 pages); the authors call for "new physics" and not belief in some supernatural agency.
Vilenkin's paper was also posted here and I read it too.
Obviously the paper doesn't say a supernatural agency created the universe. But do you at least agree that the universe came from nothing?
Btw, Vilenkin's proposal as outlined in Creation of Universes from Nothing dispenses with the big bang model.
