The question “Did the Universe have a beginning” has startling implications. If physical time and space didn’t even exist in the past, then what we are saying is that the universe came into being from absolutely nothing. This is impossible. Listen to William Lane Craig during a debate on the subject.

It doesn’t surprise me that men are turning from the belief in god as the Creator to beliefs that we are “the creation itself” all that there is. Literally worship of ourselves, the universe, and material. Worshiping the crated material effect, rather than the cause of the effect. The scriptures again almost 200o years ago through the apostle Paul warned of the end times mindset please read here what Paul said was coming.
Romans 1:18-32
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
This is the exact mindset of our Western culture today. Evolutionary theory has taken hold of our academic campuses and our youth have been taught for years not that God is not reality, but only the material universe can be considered when asking the big questions of life. Another-wards forget the God myth and believe the Evolution story as scientific Fact! This by default leaves people having no compass for morality, meaning, or future destiny. And we can see this beginning to tear down the very fabric of our culture. It’s now about 24 inch rims, Jersey Shore, who is screwing who, how big your wallet is, how much pleasure can I get, and the vanities of life. The words of Jesus Christ are so relevant for today. “Do not love the World or anything in the world for the love of the world is enmity with God” Yet today everything Jesus told us not to love has become the literally crowns of glory in the culture.
