And the evidence for this is?
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.

Think about the time when the big bang took place. What about before that

There was no before the big bang. Time As we know it started at the big bang. So before that the universe still existed just in a different state.

You just said universe in a different state existed before that. So there is a before that obviously. U can keep thinking like this won't reach an end. Until you take out something to be eternal.

Yes there may have been a "before" the big bang, even though time we understand it did not exist. We know now that this universe in its current will suffer a cold death which it will last forever

Oh buggerations.

All I am asking you to do is use logic. Something must be eternal in the equation. Otherwise nothing would make sense.

Why? You haven't explained why you think something eternal "must" do anything, let alone demonstrated it. You've just made an assertion. Anyone can do that.
