"I know he's not married because he's a bachelor" doesn't explain why he's not married or why he's a bachelor (and if I actually claimed that it did explain that, by the way, that wouldn't be the circular reasoning fallacy that would be the question begging fallacy), but it does mean that if he's a bachelor he's not married because they're the same thing.
All I'm saying is that to say that existence ever didn't exist is logically nonsensical. It's true by definition that existence is never non-existent. Just as it's true by definition that bachelors are never married. If you say otherwise, you are talking nonsense unless you are redefining things, in which case I still don't know what you're talking about until you tell me what your redefinitions are.
So as I said,

Quote:whether the "universe" had a beginning or not, something has always existed[since existence by definition can't ever be non-existent]. And so why would existence, which has tautologically always existed, require God?
