1. Universe to be eternal, would have to have time as eternal, giving an infinite regress, while God's eternity is that of no beginning, but not having time with him (existing without time).
2. There is scientific arguments showing why universe can't be eternal, there is no scientific arguments against why God can't exist or be eternal.
3. There is philosophical arguments showing why time must have began, there is no philosophical arguments to show why God must have began.
1. Existence without time is oxymoronic, since it is defined as being within a spatio-temporal context.
2. There is no scientific argument against god's existence because the the very concept is too vague and ill-defined to come under the purview of science.
3. There is no valid philosophical argument for the beginning of time. Any beginning needs a temporal context. For time to have began, time must already exist for time to start in.
