It is believed by most scientists that the "Big Bang" is the beginning of the universe. The universe is still expanding out from the center; the idea is that eventually entropy and gravitational pull will slow that expansion down to a stop, then start to reverse it. The galaxies will start to pull on each other, and the universe will start to move inwards again. When there is so much mass at the center of the universe from all of the galaxies, stars, planets, etc., a huge explosion (the big bang) will happen again, and an entire new universe will be formed.

There is an e at the beginning of death, at the end of life, and in the middle of the word universe. This riddle describes where the letter e falls in each word.

Probably not. Hawks are creatures that evolved fairly recently on Earth, and did not exist at the beginning of the universe.
The big bang was the BEGINNING of the universe so there was no temperature before it :P
The heat left over from the beginning of the universe is known as the cosmic microwave background radiation. It is a faint glow of radiation that permeates the entire universe and is a remnant of the Big Bang. This radiation provides important clues about the early universe and the formation of galaxies.
Your question needs to be refined; what do you mean by "official"? It is generally agreed by cosmologists (physicists who study the universe, including it's beginning) that there was a beginning but there's little consensus on when. Most estimates are between 13 - 20 billion years ago.
