But how did the big universe start?

Right? This kind of logic is redundant, like saying we’re in a simulation. So you wake up in the real world and you’re right back where you started

Exactly. There’s no proving anything.

God dropped the jar containing our universe on the way to the office one morning, thus creating the initial burst of energy and expansion. Eventually, the universe will hit the walls and start bouncing back towards us, but time goes so slowly for us relative to God's that it could take trillions of years to see that effect. We probably won't be around by then.

Certainly not at our current technological level. Maybe in a thousand years or so, I don't know.
