If eternity is never ending with no beginning and no end, basically a day without end...then wouldn't we conceivably already be there?

Each person has a birth (a definite beginning).
Death means a definite end to life on this earth.
Matt 24-25
Rev 18-22
Luke 16:19-31
After death (leave this earth) each person will spend a future eternity in heaven or the lake of fire.
Romans (10)

That is exactly the point. The universe can not possibly be eternaly old. The Bible says that God spoke the universe into creation, and even if you dont believe in God, it would had to have had a beginging, because if it didnt it [the universe]would be eternaly old, and we would never have got to this point in time (thats just common sense). It is eternal in the sense that it will never end.

Today is the first day of the rest of eternity. The question for you to consider is this - "Where will I spend the part of eternity starting at the point of my physical death?"

Good question! I believe we existed before being born on this earth. We are literally spiritual children of our Father in Heaven. He some how created us out of intelligences, so we existed in some form even before that creation.
We exist here as mortals, for a relatively short time.
We will continue to live for ever, as a spirit until resurrected, then with a body of flesh and bones.
A church that teaches this is the LDS church, known as Mormons commonly. I provided a link to their web site in the source list.

No, Eternity is Heaven or Hell. Earth is just a place we are passing through. The Bible says we are just aliens here on Earth. This is not our home.

eternity is without end this is what wikipedia says about eternity.
eternity often simply means existing for an infinite, i.e., limitless, amount of time, many have used it to refer to a timeless existence altogether outside of time.
