Is it possible that the universe could be eternal??...

@ Chuck, 'relgionists' use something called philosphy to prove the likely hood of God existing. However, modern science is in complete contradictory to philosophy (How can something be both a particle and wave!?!)

One of the frameworks being refined is M theory. One version of M theory says universe indeed has no beginning, but instead undergoes infinite oscillations of 100 trillion years each. We are 13 billion years into the present oscillation. In this theory, prior to the time when current, well established physics can look back into, there was not nothing. Instead there was something that was the direct linear ancestor of what we have now, only we need to further refine physics to describe it.

Its going to be interesting to see how long the M theory is going to stick around, we dont know much about the cosmos so I reckon sometime in the near future someone will refute it...

or, at least, prove it...
