Creationists have no problem believing that God had no beginning, but the idea of a universe with no beginning is utterly absurd to them. Why?

When Christians, of all people, question my intelligence it makes me smile.

They also believe:
...an old man in the sky made the 1st man from dust, the 1st woman from a rib-bone, a talking snake and a tree that produces "magic" apples....
I would like to know the answer to this question:

A begining and an end is a human pattern ,attributing to God a human pattern is not acceptable because God has no beginning nor an end but the universe is seen by humans and that is why we cant conceive it without a beginning and an end but in fact maybe the big bang is just a theory of millions . A straight line in mathematics is infinite why wouldnt the universe be infinite too? if we humans met this straight line at a number A which we see it a begining we would suppose that this line has an end which is number B as in mathematics , maybe creationists see it this way too , in reality the notion of time is only human and it doesnt exist in the big cosmos not in the micro world nor in the macro world we see.

Did evolution have a beginning? From what source or material? Was there always material? where did it come from? did someone make it? how far back in time is eternal? Which direction is up from the earth at any given point? do two parallel lines ever meet? How many times will two lines cross at 90 degrees if meet here on planet earth? How full can a cup of water be without spilling without gravity? Is space really space to God?
if time is only one direction forward was there a starting of time? How many dimensions are there. Have you heard lately that there are more than five senses? what are the other two currently? How long before more dimensions are found in the unseen world? Oh well tiem marches on and on...the earth is still flat for many and the holocast never happened for some smart ones too!

The universe is subject to what is called the second law of thermodynamics...
Time itself was part of God's creation. It will cease to exist when Christ returns
2Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar. Fire will destroy everything in them. God will judge the earth and everything in it. 11 So everything will be destroyed. And what kind of people should you be? You should lead holy and godly lives.
12 Live like that as you look forward to the day of God. It will make the day come more quickly. On that day fire will destroy the heavens. Its heat will melt everything in them.
13 But we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth. Godliness will make its home there. All of this is in keeping with God’s promise.

Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
God is the begining. and the ending. Christians never said what you say they did. I believe in the word of God, and not the words of man.

Even scientists believe the universe had a beginning. It's called the "big bang."
God is beyond science.

Science also said that the universe had a beginning; are sientists creationists?
Now about God.....
Your poor little brain is not matured enough to comprehend God...unless you know just who he is and what he is; you dare not claim to know anything about his beginning.

God was in the beginning - He just was and is.
He is "I AM" - that is all I need to know.
I choose to believe that God is God and there is none like Him.

Because God says that He has no beginning, and creation began with his direction.
