Many bangs, many universes-sequential, (Turok and Steinhart and Hindus), many parallel universes (Hugh Everett & DC Comics). What about real proof? Well, I a willing for our species to eventualy Look for evidence of all this crazy stuff, however our economy and technology appear way to insufficient to even start a search, even in a 'modest' way. For example, The people of the Favillas in Brazil did not build their own CERN particle accelaraor, but the EU did, etc.

T herein lie dragons . I go to a local bookstore and buy a copy of Shakespeare's plays. I get in my time machine and go back to 1580 and give the book to a illiterate 16 year old boy named William Shakespeare. Young William publishes the plays and soon they become enormously popular spreading throughout t he world and the centuries eventually ending up at my local bookstore. Where did the information in that book come from? Who wrote the plays? First, that's a causal loop. Not all explanations are in terms of causes. Second, there's no evidence that time-like loops are possible. Third, there's a lot of information in the sense you use it, that was not there at the big bang - so where did it come from?
