The current widely-held theory of life, the universe, and everything holds that at some point roughly 13.7 billion years ago everything that now is was packed into a tight little package from which sprung the Big Bang, which violently hurled everything into existence. But 13.7 billion years to get to where we are isn’t enough for renowned physicist Sir Roger Penrose, and now he thinks he can prove that things aren’t/weren’t quite so simple. Drawing on evidence he found in the cosmic microwave background, Penrose says the Big Bang wasn’t the beginning, but one in a series of cyclical Big Bangs, each of which spawned its own universe.
By Penrose’s estimation, our universe is not the first – nor will it be the last – to spawn from a dense mass of highly-ordered everything into the complex universe we see around us. In fact, it’s that high degree of order that was apparently present at the universe’s...

I agree Chris, It is like saying which came first the DNA that constructs our bodies or the body that is constructed by the DNA. They would have us think our DNA was simply floating around looking for something to form! And they call us unreasonable?
The "Big Bang" is based on the speculation that the Hubble effect is there because the universe is expanding. What if there is some unknown effect long distances have on the wavelength of light?
I guess if you can't answer the question of where the stuff came from that big-banged in the first place, why not hide your ignorance in a previous universe?
You've probably heard this before, butI saw a bumper sticker once that said "I believe in the big bang, God said 'Let there be light' and bang it happene!!!"

"the cosmic microwave background, Penrose says the Big Bang wasn’t the beginning, but one in a series of cyclical Big Bangs, each of which spawned its own universe."
Announcement! The next Big Bang will be arriving at platform three.
Curious that people can think that from nothing - then a "big bang" - can come something as complex as eg their neurological system?
Nothing new since... ex nihilo nihil fit.
