Problems understanding naturalistically the beginning of the universe

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.
LOL, 'lose its atheism'. That's so awful that happened!

There is no atheist cosmology. Atheism is a property of people who can believe in or withhold belief from ideas like gods. You seem to mean the science of cosmology, but really, there's no need to cede all of science to atheists. There are plenty of believers who work in biology without evolution being a problem for their faith and in cosmology without a natural explanation for the universe troubling their religious serenity.

The problem with natural explanations for the universe is that they're so easy to come by. Their are multiple hypotheses that fit the known evidence and for which the math works; but at present we cannot perform the experiments that would allow us to say which, if any of them are actually the case.

However, science not knowing the definitive answer for the origin at present does not add a microgram of support to supernatural explanations (of which there are thousands, not just yours).
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
