1- If time is infinite, there must be a time in the past where infinite numbers of seconds passed which is not, so time & universe had a start.
I reject the assumption that there must be a time in the past where an infinite number of seconds had passed. Choose any interval of time you like. It can be subdivided an unlimited (hence infinite) number of times. You might just as well say imagine a whole (integer) number before which there have already been an infinite number of such numbers. Easy. Pick absolutely any one you like. Suppose you pick zero. You seem to think that because there is an infinite number yet to come that there cannot have already have been an infinite number leading up to zero. And that is not true.
It is incomprehensible to imagine a moment before which there was nothing and no way to mark time. Lets some god (imagine your own here) existed who is credited with having created the universe, space and time. Well then if your god itself existed before the beginning of time, then there was something before that first moment and that something certainly had the capacity to mark time if it so desired.
Before anything there was that which made possible everything we see today. You want to call that God, I prefer to call it a mystery.
