You say:
Entropy trumps all else, if the universe was infinite in age all matter would be a homogeneous conglomeration of energies of a uniform temperature.
Lets assume that the universe is endless in all respect.
What processes are taking place to give us the present observations.
==========================================
You got to allow yourself other options. Never ever close the door on any theories.
Man has not fully gained all the information required to formulated a model that can stand on solid foundations.
Even I who speaks against the Big Bag, I have not closed the door on the Big Bang.
===========================================
The question amongst many is:
If the Big Bang did not create the parts within the Universe (TOTAL). Is their a possibilty that small Bang or Bangs made up the known super clusters and is this part of some form of recycling.
============================================
I have read this link:
I would not give much credit to it. He works from the assumption that the Big Bang is a fact.

Gravity does not control the size of the universe. The universe is a word given to the total "ALL".Gravity controls the size of the Universe while the electric force controls the size of the electron. The strength of the electric charge controls the life span of virtual particle-antiparticle pairs, while the strength of the gravitational charge controls the life span of the Universe - including, coincidentally, the half-life of proton decay. When g = c, as in the interior of black holes, these distance, time, and force scales are (locally) equal. In black holes, space collapses, time stands still, and proton decay is as commonplace as particle-antiparticle annihilation
The life span of the universe,,,,,,,,where does this character get his info from.
Time cannot stand still.
I could go through the paper,,,,,,,,,,whats the use.
