Big Bang just a bunch of bunk?

Universe has no beginning?

Maybe it's back to thinking it's made up of ether. Invisible,
just like modern day descriptions of black holes.

This is really an unknowable but the understanding of the things we
can know is advancing science. At this point "god did it" is as
provable as the big bang. What was there before the predicted event
13.8 billion years ago? I do tend to lean towards the closed universe
theory and after expanding for a while the whole thing will collapse
back on itself again. That is reconciled with the "bounce" theory. It
also leaves open the likelihood that there are other systems beyond
what we call our universe, doing the same thing.

One thing is certain, the more we find out, the more questions we
bring up and it becomes clearer that there is still more out there
than we ever suspected before.

Maybe we'll learn in afterlife.

The only "afterlife" you're going to have is as worm food.
