The Universe is supposed to have started at the lowest entropy level. What that means is the symmetry was maximal just before the big bang. As a good analogy, you may represent this lowest form of entropy of the Universe as a sphere. If it was a perfect sphere, why would it bang? You must conclude that the ball had a bump in it, a basic and fundamental bump in the universe which is the source of time. In the end, we owe our existence to fundamental asymmetries. If the universe was totally symmetrical, it would annihilate and nothing would be left.
The Universe has always existed, unless there is an external agent which has created the ball and the bump... I think the Universe is much simpler that what we imagine.
