Do you believe the Universe had a beginning point? Please Explain why?

Yup, like God--eternal.  More than our minds can comprehend.

Forever doesn't have a start, that's partly what the word means. If the universe has a beginning, we don't how it began or what was there beforehand, there are only theories. The universe as we know it has been estimated to be at least 15 billion years old but, no more than 20 billion years old. (Different websites have different numbers though)

The Infinite is one of the main reasons why I do not believe there is a god; or, specifically, I do not believe that he is of eternal duration.\n\nIf God is eternal, he had no starting point. Yet, earth clearly does have a starting point. Where, then, are we in the context of God's eternity?\n\nYou cannot draw us as a dot on God's timeline because his timeline is of infinite length. There must be an infinite amount of time both before and after our existence.\n\nIf there is an infinite amount of time before our existence, why are we here? How can we possibly have been created when an eternity (by definition unpassable) has to pass before us?

Mathematetically, philosophically, nothing. That has been the big question since Einstein theorized that the universe had a beginning. The question moves from the realm of science, a process of theory and discovery, to revelation, a process of information delivery. In short because nothing (not mathematic formulas, time, energy, literally anything) existed the only way for us to know what happened prior to the Big Bang is by devine revelation. Science has struggled with this idea for a long time and many theories have been proposed but all theories proposed require a moment when nothing existed and then suddenly there is existence. This is the principle behind the Cosmological Argument. Briefly since everything that exists has a cause, the universe exists, it must logically have a cause. I would encourage you to read, 'When Skeptics Ask', by Norman Geisler or 'I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist', by Geisler and Turk. Good luck on your search.

We have plenty of evidence for the theory that the universe was created by the Big bang. The universe was definitely created by the Big bang. \n\nRegarding the theory that God created the universe from scratch, in view of the evidence for the Big Bang that is clearly nonsense and no-one with an ounce of scientific knowledge would accept it. \n\nAs to whether God created the Big Bang itself, and then let nature take its course - it is remotely possible. However, unlike the Big bang itself, we have no evidence for the claim that God created the Big Bang. For people to state this claim therefore is blind faith, and has no scientific worth. It is merely their opinion and is not evidence-based.

Unfortunately the logic in that link you posted is seriously flawed. It's completely illogical to talk of the universe as "being created", as this implies that the universe exists in time. It fails to realise that time is a part of the universe, and thus the universe has necessarily existed for all time whether or not time is infinite or finite. There is no point in time that the universe didn't exist. The phrase "before the big bang" has absolutely no meaning, any more than "north of the north pole" does. Forcing "common sense" onto the universe is doomed to failure whenever you stray from the common surroundings here on earth. So much of what science has shown about the universe goes very much against common sense or logic. I don't believe in a god myself. A god may or may not exist, but i'm afraid that article certainly isn't proof of it :)

Either answer would be wrong.  The universe came first.

Depends on whether you consider the start of the universe at the end of the atmosphere, or at the limits of the solar system, or the galaxy.

Ahhh, I like your question, deep thought....\n\nThe best thing I can come up with after much thought of the creation of the universe is that it is a result of chaos from the lawlessness of nothingness.  I have wrote this in another answer to another question b-4.  The creation of the universe can not be explained by physics we have.  Physical laws did not exist at the instant of the big bang.  I believe the universe we live in today could have been 10 billion times more massive or 10 billion times less massive as it was dictated from lawlessness.  \n\nNow a very interesting thought I have recently pondered is our existence is actually a 'plan' of the universe in effort to thwart its' inevitable demise.  Maybe our universe has a urning, as we do, to live forever, and from the moment of its' creation there was the plan to allow circumstances within it allowing life to form and evolve in hopes that one day we or some other intelligent life could figure out a way to make the universe last, or live, forever.

To say universe is infinite is partly correct because nobody has ever found its corner or a boundary. But some ppl think that if u set out in one direction ina hope to get to some end/boundary one day, you might end up turning a full circle without realing so, because space has some really small and complex curves much beyond our comprehension with our present knowledge and intelligence

About the only thing I ever heard that made any sense was that there was another universe. The idea was that you have a big bang, which throws all the matter in the Universe outward from the center. After a while (a LONG while) gravity starts pulling these pieces closer together again and you get what's called the Big Crush, where the whole universe get's squidged up into a tiny, infinitely small point. The theory went on to say, that that spot would explode in a Big Bang and the whole thing would start all over again.

Latest scientific research suggests that the universe has no beginning or end, both spatially and temporally.  Thus, there was never a creation.

Would you like to see a real picture that was recently made of the beginning of the Universe?\n\nhttp://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/03/0217/

The only thing that we know for certain without debates on the beginning of time etc.  is that life wants to continue to exist.  Thats the purpose of life, to exist and continue existence.  Everthing else that goes along with this is luxury.

This is a question that neither science or religion can ever "prove."  In our human capacity, it is unlikely anyone will ever know the answer to this.  How can you even take a scientific approach to this?  You can speculate how the universe appears to be created based off measurements in the space, but you can always ask the question "but what about before that?"  \n\nUltimately it comes down to faith, and I don't necessarily mean in a God.  You have faith that the universe was started somehow.  Either God or some unexplainable cosmic phenomenon that we will never understand.  Or both!

At the beginning of the universe, I would imagine.

It does not end and its growing, before you try tackling such a question, answer the micro-level questions of the same kind.  The universe encompasses all that exists, and by default then, it is largely unknown.  We don't know where the universe ends, and all evidence points to it being endless and growing, therefore we make a conclusion based on a portion of the information actually needed.
