The question is whether the universe has always existed. You substituted existence for universe, then made the tautological observation that existence exists. I know it seems profound to you, but it isn't. It's a fallacy.

Maybe I missed it but as far as I can see your 'opponents' seem to be taking the scientific line as dictated by the available evidence.There's DvF of course, and IIRC someone suggested that maybe singularities bumped in the night or pondered things for eons before deciding to expand. It doesn't really matter, as I agree with you. Just because we don't know doesn't mean that one idea is as good as another.
