If there had been infinite years before us would we have ever got to this point in time?

Maybe. But the question is hypothetical -- infinity is a mathematical concept, and does not exist in the real world.

Infinity is not a number, it simply represents a constanly growing value.
For instance, using infinity as a timescale, you are looking at how an object or process responds over time.

Yes, as long as the timescale is infinite.

Time started with the big bang. According to general relativity there was no time before that so the time scale begins about 14 billion years ago- the age of the universe.

Only if it is an infinite timescale!

oh gosh, this is making my head hurt. but i would think that the universe would never reach this point in time. but then that would mean that we might not even exist, since nobody really knows what happened before the big bang. it all depends on when "time" started.

All I can say is that if there were and we're here the answer is yes. If there weren't and we're here, the answer is no. We're here so who really cares.
