What is the alternative to a Big Bang universe, an infinite steady state universe. Therefore you are no better off with the alternative.
Do you struggle with understanding the displacement and velocity of an object, or calculating the length of an arc?
Yet these characteristics are calculated by summing an infinite number of infinitesimally small quantities to give a finite answer.
Its called using calculus.
Mathematicians and physicists are only concerned when infinities turn up in the calculations which is a sure sign the theory is wrong or needs refinement but the concept of infinity iself is easily comprehended when seen as mathematical or physical limit.
