Check out the Borde-Guth-Vilenkin theorem about the universe. What is actually proved by the theorem is that there must be a beginning to any universe that on average is inflationary. . "A universe with inflation has a beginning." "The kalam cosmological argument is a particular way to philosophically argue for a space-less, timeless, beginning-less, metaphysically necessary personal being, and all-powerful cause to the beginning of the universe. When expounded upon the result is what looks awfully familiar to theologians as God. This is an argument brought back into the fold of philosophy of religion in the late 20th and early 21st century, and defended successfully in academic debates, books and papers by William Lane Craig. The kalam cosmological argument specifically demonstrates that what follows logically from the premises is that there must be a transcendent cause to physical space-time reality. The BGV theorem can be used as a powerful empirical evidence of a beginning of any universe which on average has a positive expansion rate, of which the universe presently observed does. In establishing a beginning to the universe, and therefore argument for the existence of God the creationist can be comfortable within the scientific findings of the BGV theorem specifically, and the Big bang theory more generally. Especially when interacting with atheists or even agnostics upon the existence of something like God."
