Cosmologically we know that the universe had a beginning, the Webb telescope proved that without question and before that in 1929, Hubble discovered the universe was expanding and came from a single point. The second law of thermal dynamics says the energy from the universe is running down, meaning that someone, something outside of it wound it up. If the universe were eternal, we would have no energy now. The radiation afterglow or remnant heat discovered by Penzias and Wilson showed that remnant heat from that singularity still remains today.

Scientist posited that if that singularity happened (if the big bang was true) there would be ripples, or slight variations of temperature in the cosmic background. Not only did George Smoot find this true with the satellite COBE, they discovered the ripples show that the explosion and expansion of the universe was precisely adjusted to cause just enough matter to congregate to all galaxy formation, but not enough to cause the universe to collapse back on itself. Any slight variation one way or the other, and we would not exist. In fact, the ripples are so exact—down to one in one hundred thousand. Stephen Hawking called these finding “the most important discovery of the century, if not all time.” Smoot named these findings “galaxy seeds”.

Time, space, and matter or correlative as stated in Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, meaning that they came into existence at the same time. Einstein knew in 1915 that space, time, and matter literally had a beginning. Observational evidence in of this theory was tested and confirmed in 1919’s Eddington Experiment by British astronomers Frank Watson Dyson and Arthur Stanley Eddington.

The evidence shows the universe in of itself is not the uncaused first cause. The only force that could be the uncaused first caused must be space less, timeless, and immaterial. Great thinkers like Plato, Aristotle, they knew this, they knew there was an unmoved mover. God is the timeless first cause and the designer of the cosmos we observe.
