That is back when I was an undergrad, lots has changed in my life (mosly older, fatter and uglier) and lots of thing in science are much better understood now. For example, the dreck you cite as scientific truth claims the universe (as was understood in 1983) was 16.5 billion years ago. That value is reduced but derived from the Hubble constant (which itself gives a 20 billion year value). Data (from WIMP) now conclusively shows that the 16.5 billion year value is in error by almost 3 billion years. The currently accepted value (accepted since 2003 although you think 1983 is gospel truth) is 13.72 Billion years. Please pay attention to the EXTRA significant digit. This is what real science tells us not what some goatherder book says.
Modern cosmology is well acquainted with time having a finite beginning. The Hartle–Hawking initial state proposes a finite beginning prior to the planck epoch.

It's an appeal to an authority when you don't address the argument but rather say "if only BL read these books then he would understand why his arguments are wrong"

If you think that last statement is wrong. Show why?
Nothing isn't anything, it is no thing. It has no properties. Nothing does not exist. Again, you are talking about something eternal if you say there is no such thing as nothing. So what are you proposing? What caused the quantum fluctuations? What caused the thing that caused that? Are you claiming an infinite regress of causes? Where does the buck stop?

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
