What else do you start with? You can't start with anything that itself has a start.

Who says we are? Do you know ANYTHING about cosmology? I've great doubts given how you're bumbling along.

Why do you think we think that the universe had a start of its existence? Again, are you even aware of the fact that there are a good number of completely self-contained cosmological models? Of course, you'd just prefer to go on like an idiot.
