What you have suggested is that, because an infinite universe is such a difficult or confusing concept that God is more plausible...
1: this is classic religious attitude, deal with what is not understandable by creating something that is understandable; namely a God in your image which miraculously answers such questions. Hence the inexplicably irrational explanation ratio.
2: have you really done your research? there are many other models such as, oscillatory ones. And granted an infinite universe is a difficult concept to grab, but I think you need to research your understanding of an infinite universe. If the universe is unbounded, and has no beginning or end... why can't we exist?
I think your ignorance in your approach to truth is staggeringly lazy and concerning anything but truth. You two truly are Christians.
P.S the more I read such 'faithful' responses, the more I see the jump to God as an arbitrary choice of self comfort... explain to me that I'm wrong.

well with point number one it explains everything but one thing how did god start? So it solves a lot obviously you can't just make something to explain that is why i stated the reason. Time cannot have been created within a system of only itself that is the argument
and for point 2 my argument deals with time not cycles of big bangs and crunches explained in a oscillatory system as far as time goes it is linear, it also it always making progress forward so either time always existed or was made ( go figure isn't it that way with everything) The very nature of time points to a creator without a start any point in time is the same as all the others that means time wouldn't be linear.... but it is
