You will find an educational set of lectures and other free materials here: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/8-286-the-early-universe-fall-2013/
The instructor is Alan Guth, the subject is the early universe, but warning--the lectures are highly mathematical. I'm not a math person, but Guth has a way of explaning difficult material. He makes the expanding universe and particle physics fairly understandable.

Good science?

I'll check out this video later, Duncan, but there's plenty of evidence for an origin of the universe. Even if you don't accept the Big Bang--for which there's plenty of scientific evidence--I believe it's hard to argue for an eternal universe, or one that God did not create.
Besides the gentleman in the video does not have the training, experience, knowledge, accomplishments or credentials of Guth. Granted, evience is what counts. Expertise, however, also counts for something.
As an ex NASA engineer he would be fully capable of understanding the math and with speculations like these this is really the only thing that counts since there is no REAL evidence.

I'm not denying his intelligence or competence, but only saying that he evidently does not have the Ph.D. in a scientific field, nor has he published influential and tested theories, like Guth has. I just don't see why I should choose his account, which is off the beaten path, over Guth's or Max Tegmark or Vilenkin's, et al.
