How do we know this is not the first universe to have existed? If thats true enjoy this life the best you can because it will happen all over again.what a better question is, Why does the universe start over and how?who or what is hitting that reset button.
There's no way of knowing. But to me it just seems extremely unlikely that this is the first time the universe has existed. I don't believe in the God explanation. It makes more sense to me that we live in an infinite universe. People don't hesitate to believe in an infinite divine being. How about an infinite non-divine universe? There's a lot we don't understand about the universe. For example, dark matter and dark energy. It's possible something to do with those two things might cause a big crunch and subsequent big bang.
