Every thing that has a begining has a cause.
The universe has a begining, so something caused it.
Christianity say God, being outside of time and space was that cause.
While you don't have to believe it, you do have to have a more reasonable explanation.
The universe AS WE KNOW IT had a beginning. A much more reasonable explanation for that beginning is a change of form, whether it be sprouted from a blackhole of another universe, or reversal of a big bang/big crunch cycle, or something else entirely that we have not yet conceived of.
What isn't reasonable is inserting an arbitrarily powerful being which is described as having no beginning SOLELY to avoid the "everything has a beginning" conundrum. It is not a reasonable conclusion for the beginning of the universe because it has no supporting evidence. I could just as easily say that a magic purple dragon-turtle chimera created the universe, or literally ANYTHING you could imagine. That we don't yet know how the universe started does not make any imaginative explanation more reasonable.
