For some reason I distrust cosmologists. Maybe because Al Gore worships the so-called cosmologist Thomas Berry. Take a look at this review of The Universe Story

Cosmologists like everyone else are both good and bad.
I would call it the pursuit of elegance.
imo, Religion must deal with these issues and vice verse.

I trust you don't think I agree with the manipulative Berry; I have faith the pursuit of truth will lead to God. At any rate, these scientific/religious/philosophic exercises move me toward faith. I am expecting no Heaven on earth.
