What boggles my mind, however, is how someone can suggest that the universe has always existed in some form or another as an infinite 'entity'(for lack of a better term), whilst denying that the same thing is possible of God.
Agreed, it's a a double standard, but no naturalists worth their weight would claim it so it's not really a problem, just like a theist who claims that something uncaused cannot exist and then say God is uncaused, both are a case of special pleading.
