Does second law of thermodynamics imply the big bang?


Given that the second law of thermodynamics states that entropy always increases and the universe is currently not in a state of maximal entropy does that not imply that it must have started at a point in the past? And that it could not have existed forever?


Thermodynamics was developed in the mid 1800's while the big bang was first proposed in the 1920's if the above argument is correct did anyone else argue it before general relativity?
