If by "universe" you mean the stars, galaxies, planets, etc. that make up our cosmos, then the answer is no, it is not eternal. If you mean the matter/energy system that allows this all to exist, then the answer is yes, it is eternal.
There are probably thousands of links to various papers and opinions and any choice that any of us would make would be biased by our own opinions. No matter what links are posted, one could find an 'anti-link' for each one.
What makes you certain of this point (in bold)?
