"However, the expansion of the universe, is like the time reverse of the collapse of a star. I therefore want to show you, that observational evidence indicates the universe contains sufficient matter, that it is like the time reverse of a black hole, and so contains a singularity."

 

i can get more if you want

So again, he's applying the current evidence and mathematical models to state that he thinks there was a singularity. I can't agree that this is having faith in something. If I give you my best guess as to a certain enzyme's mechanisms even though we don't yet have enough data for it to be conclusive am I giving you a hypothesis or do I have faith in my explanation?

he makes a lot of assumptions though and that's my point

for example "observational evidence indicates the universe contains sufficient matter, that it is like the time reverse of a black hole"

for one thing, black holes aren't understood that well and another is that the idea that there is sufficient mass is another assumption

 

another thing is "observational evidence"... around 3% pf the universe is currently observable to us... they just call the rest dark matter
