the universe always has and always will. infinity has no ends. we are all gods, creators of our realities, together we are one being, one soul
In everything that exists, we see entropy. In simple form, entropy is the fact that everything is running down and wearing out. In more complex form, everything is dissipating, diffusing, and spreading out. A way to say it simply is that all complexity is gradually becoming less complex.
On the universal scale, we see nothing else. We see nothing that shows us the reverse of entropy.
If the universe were eternal, entropy would have caused it to have virtually no complexity whatsoever by now. This means that the universe had to have had a beginning, and will probably have an end.

running down and wearing out? humanity's castles made of sand, sure, but nature is an eternal blossoming flower. constantly growing and healing this planet.
the universe is as you see it. logical thinking will not bring you an understanding of nature's incomprehensible infinitely fractaling nature. for one to see oneness with the endless miracle of nature, one must step away from linear logic. only by living with nature's nurturing energy can we heal into our natural state of being.
religion is not the preface of god. nature is divine, religion is governing the minds of many. men are organic beings of nature, don't be duped to ignore the miraculous divinity of nature because of rulers who seek self worship, that is exactly the type of mind frame they seek to impose on you!
Only because the universe - and even just the solar system - is so large does it seem that entropy is non-existent at times. When you look at all kinds of things on earth, you can sse entropy all over the place, even in a mountain being built by volcanoes. You see nothing on earth that does not have entropy built into it.
In space, we see things that might look like stars being formed at the expense of nothing else. But, that is theory. We don't know it for a fact... that such is what is happening. In everything that we factually know, entropy plays a gigantic part.
