If you think for yourself like you claim I suggest you read up on that "prophecy". Now to answer your question, as far as I know about physics which isn't a lot I admit, the universe has always existed in one state or another. As for what's beyond I can't say for sure, the multi verse is a possibility, but in reality I don't know for sure. As for the end of the universe, it will most likely be a cold death by entropy. http://burro.astr.cwru.edu/stu/advanced/...death.html
You believe the universe always existed in one state or another - like God. You have no scientific proof, but yet you believe and others just leave it open. Of course a multiverse is possible, but how far do these multiple universes extend? It they are the total of existence then they have no end. When I asked about the end of the universe I meant the boundary, but I didn't make that clear. If the universe it infinite, it would have no boundaries. I read the scriptures and I believe that they hold the answers to these questions. My life is also more fulfilled than when I was a non-believer. If I come across some better answers, then maybe I'll have to reconsider. If I die and go to that black non-existence, neither you nor I will care that I was wrong.
Here is where I'm going to be honest with you. Science has little to do With my position on gods, bryond Some basic facts and the scientific method. Now I have a proposal, let's same for the sake of argument that we both there are God(s) and that they created the universe. How could you demonstrate to me that it was your God, the God described in the Bible and not Brahma, and the other gods described in the Vedas and many texts holy texts of the Hindu's?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
