The universe (the wider universe or multiverse) was never created, has always existed
It only describes for how much of the duration of the temporal reality it is describing it has existed. And since the universe embodies temporal reality, the universe has indeed "always existed", since always denotes temporal existence, and universe means the spatiotemporal reality in its entirity (otherwise we are not talking about the universe .. but about subdivisions / "multiverses" perhaps).
Angels are outside the temporal realm, but that does not make them uncreated.
Indeed, the only fact that tells us that we and our world and universe is created, is that it exists (is actual potentiality, or active potency) at all.
The people who are the most bigoted are the people who have no convictions at all.
