What about Big Bang?

I have no idea, but I do know it happened for a reason or it did
not happen for a reason.

Well, then you have an infinite progression, as then you have to
find a reason for that reason and so on. I guess that this
contradicts with the whole idea of the Big Bang. Or you do not
believe in the Big Bang?
The idea of the Big Bang is that the visible universe evolved to its
present state from a state of extreme density and temperature. It is
independent of whether there was a previous state, as in the models
of Andre Vilenkin or those of Sean Carroll, or not as in the
Hartle-Hawking model.

This still shows that there are physicists who do not believe in

In other words such a statement does not follow from physics that we know.
Of course it doesn't follow from physics. It follows from the meaning of the words
(assuming it refers to things that happen). It's a tautology.

I have recently listened to Kontroversen in der Philosophie by Prof Hoenen:
http://www.podcasts.uni-freiburg.de/podcast_content?id_content=93
and the question whether the Universe if eternal or not belongs to such
controversies.
