That is a problem with infinities. It is hard to imagine them. "infinity + something = infinity"
Some things are not intuitive. When Feynman first presented his diagrams, Dirac and Bohr told him he is an idiot and walked out of the room.
This universe is amazing, we all should be glad the supernovae created atoms in our bodies.
We should indeed be grateful for the stars and supernovae that allowed heavy elements to form and spread.
We should also be grateful for the light called into existence at the beginning of time that eventually made those supernova possible.

The early universe, from the Quark epoch to the Photon epoch, or the first 380,000 years of cosmic time, when the familiar forces and elementary particles have emerged but the universe remains in the state of a plasma, followed by the "Dark Ages", from 380,000 years to about 150 million years during which the universe was transparent but no large-scale structures had yet formed
Before decoupling occurred, most of the photons in the universe were interacting with electrons and protons in the photonbaryon fluid. The universe was opaque or "foggy" as a result. There was light but not light we can now observe through telescopes. The baryonic matter in the universe consisted of ionized plasma, and it only became neutral when it gained free electrons during "recombination", thereby releasing the photons creating the CMB. When the photons were released (or decoupled) the universe became transparent.

And most importantly we should be grateful for the infinite creator who willed it all into existence and sustains it still.

3 And God said, Let there be light, and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. And there was evening, and there was morningthe first day.
I know what is the difference between you and me. You need to HAVE answers to unknowns. I am ok to say I don't know.
That is why in your world you need to have an answer to who created the Big Bang.
In my world, I'm not sure if the Big Bang was created by anyone or how it came about at time 0. I don't know.
Here is the problem with all these calculations. When the Beginning happened, be it by God-creation, or by some sort of big bang, time and other physics was not set in place like it is today. Time and other physics were all in formation.
What does this mean? It means that all of our math and understandings of past timelines are incorrect. Why are they incorrect? Because we are measuring things by the standards that we use, rather than by the standards that were in existence when the past happened.
Can we ever determine what the standards of the so-called distant past were? Possibly. But it will take way more calculation than we can currently program a computer to calculate, and it will take more precise measurements than we are able to make at this time. Why? Because we will need to see how physics is changing, just so we can extrapolate back to see what physics was in the so-called distant past.
We are absolutely just in the beginnings of understanding things. And things are so greatly complex that we may never understand them as individuals... even though a computer might be built that is capable of crunching the numbers so-to-speak.
