I don't believe the universe began to exist. Perhaps it's difficult to grasp the concept of the universe always having been in existence, but think of the existence of the universe in the other direction of the timeline - is it as difficult to grasp the concept of a universe that never ends?
Even if the universe does come to an end, what does that look like? Do things start to fade like people in the movie "Back To The Future"? When could this end of the universe occur, 5 seconds from now?
What is this "Big Bang Theory" empirical confirmation? Maybe what some consider as empirical confirmation isn't actually so.
Keep in mind that the individual who came up with the "Big Bang Theory" was a Roman Catholic priest, and it "confirms" the notion of a beginning to the universe that was created by a deity.
