does big bang/multiverse make a lot of sense ?
Big Bang? Yes, it makes perfect sense and agrees with observable data.
Multiverse? Depends on what you mean when you use that term. If you mean parallel universes, then it doesn't make sense but it is mathematically necessary in M-theory and in the "many worlds" interpretation of quantum mechanics. If instead you mean that there could have been several "places" at once that went "Bang", and each one created a universe that was forever separated from the others due to space-time between them expanding faster than the speed of light so that they can never physically intersect, then that makes sense, but it's impossible to know.
