It is not true that "I cannot ask this question about my God" or about my religion. The universe is the Creation, and the creation was created ex-nihilo (out of nothing) by God, that is transcendent to it. God Himself is without a beginning and without an end, because beginning and end are adjectives that require contingence. God say that His name is "I AM", showing one of the deepest theological conditions about Himsel; God is existence as existence is. However, we cannot at all think that the matter is eternal since it is clearly not, we have seen it. The word "eternal" belongs to religion, not to naturalistic science.
I believe this is the last barrier for science, after all, it would only be speculation to talk about it, scientifical speculation. Just as I have heard in this forum the phrase "There are literally billions of galaxies", which is a claim based entirely on a scientifical speculation.
1. Where's your evidence?
2. "Scientifical"? Really??
You mean, why do I believe that, right? I believe that because God has told us so through His prophets in the Old Testament and through the saints of the New Covenant until today, what we would call, Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition.
