Actually, it didn't really happen in a point in time, AFAIAC. Time
began at that point. In fact, there's a good chance that "time" didn't
"begin" (or stabilize) for "eons" (read in femto- or pico- seconds),
just as our physics framework (as we understand it so far) didn't
stabilize "immediately".
Now, the question of whether the universe will expand until everything
burns out, or collapse and restart "time" in a new "universe" that may
*or may not* share the same physical laws...I am not prepared to answer.
But that doesn't mean I have to irrationally posit an irrational being
as the impetus in order to make myself feel more in groove with the
universe.
