The article rattles on about the possibility that the big bang hypothesis is wrong and then it ends with these completely ridiculous presumptions.

"This sometimes comes up: Could the universe have always existed? The problem is, if the universe had existed for an infinite amount of time, everything that could possibly happen must already have happened an infinite number of times — including that we don’t exist and never did. But we know we do exist. As Robert J. Marks has pointed out, playing with infinity quickly results in absurdity. To do science, we must accept that some events are real and not mutually contradictory. So we can assume that the universe got started but we are a little less sure just now how that happened."

Some time could be spent laughing at the meat brain musings of the experts in the above paragraph and the article if it weren't for the fact that the experts have a notable effect on the quality of our lives.

The effect is that the noble class known as "expert" decrees that there must be a beginning and an end and it sets conditions and parameters. The masses are taught to believe the dogma and they become as stunted and twisted as the noble meat brain expert class.

Meat brains have a beginning and an end. Free minds do not.

Meat brains live in a small, finite uni(single)verse. Free minds enjoy an endless song.

Meat brains puzzle over infinity in it's various forms. Free minds use it to measure things and create perspective. It's just a tape measure. Can be used to measure things inside or outside of an endless universe or song.

Most importantly, meat brains, whether noble or common, are terrified of lack of boundaries and rules. They are terrified of freedom. They are governed by the letter of the law without which they have no meaning for themselves. They are absolutely terrified of those who live outside of their law.
