Still, if there is proof that the big bang is the source of the universe, it is hard to say what the source of the big bang itself is. We may need new physics, or we may find that it is impossible to know, as Heisenberg proved there are limits to what we can know.

1) I didn't say it was proven. I said that other scientific evidences support it (such as GR)
2) I agree that it may very well be impossible to say what the source of the Big Bang was--But I, personally can say beyond reasonable doubt that it wouldn't be a natural cause given other evidences. I don't think new physics would help as far as a first cause goes.
3) Heisenberg's uncertainty principle eh. I think he was saying that any measuring process involves an interaction which would alter the values to atleast some extent. Thats not to say that we can't get extremely close though (dare I say close enough?
)
