There are many theories that try to explain how the universe began. Is there any solid evidence that the universe had a beginning? Is it right to assume that everything had a beginning just as the small things on earth have a beginning?

proving these theories are very difficult since we cannot travel back in time to witness the event.

math is the only way we can "see" these actions and yes there is always a hurdle in the math somewhere. So far the easiest path is shown through string theory and colliding dimensions.

but really. How can we physically prove that? I believe when we understand quantum mechanics and extra dimensions we will be able to fill the holes, expescially the results of "singularities"

There are a few scientific theory that try to Understand how the Begining of the Universe occured. Some make sense and some do not . Neverthess it is scientifically alluded that the Universe had a begining. In the same way that we as Humans had a Beginging. Hence we have concluded that in order for an entity to Exist inside the Universe it must have a begining. This is stated without proof. As not everything in the Universe does not really need proof if it is obvious.

And the Beauty of life and the Universe indicates also the Beauty of our Creator who constructed this universe of a design to accommodate all biological life on earth within this great volumenous space structure and mass structures.We just are addicted to appreciate it.

Depends on what you define as solid evidence. There is no Red Circle somewhere saying: START IS HERE

There is predicted evidence based on what we KNOW about atomic exposions.

We know small particle radiation (gamma, X-ray, cosmic type rays) come out first, followed by light (photonic particals) followed by heat, debris and hot gases or plasma.

So when we find a Cosmic Ray signature all around us in space, like a sphere enclosing everything we can speculate that might have occured from an initial major atomic type explosion.

When we see ALL stars and galaxies moving away from us we can assume expansion is occuring.

These elements were PREDICATED by the theories on the start of the universe but NOT confirmed until much later.

Also the MATH involved in the postulation was from three SEPARATE sources who did not work together but came up with the same math for it all.

Those three elements give the current view a STRONG likely hood.

Well...One has to imagine that you have nothing better to do than to waste your time working on an unsolveable problem like this which also wastes other peoples' time reading and trying to give some understandable answer to...

For obvious reasons, there is no scientific text book, written record of the events in those days, or trail of evidence that one can follow from here back to there and "Voila" arrive back at the beginning. About all that can be done is to follow in reverse (back-track) the noted directions of movement of celestial bodies until everything seems to coalesce in one particular spot in the Universe which must have been where everything came from about 13.5 to 14 Billion years ago.

Beyond that is a foggy mist of who knows what that some people get really thrilled about discussing and pondering as if one of them might arrive at a conclusion some day that everyone would agree with. Chances of that ever happening are something like one in 537 Billion (not a good wager).

So, my recommendation is for you to move your inquiries onto some subject that can be answered with a reasonable level of certainty and then you will learn something worthwhile. Creationism theories are a dime a dozen and not worth a Tinker's "Doo Dahh" in High School or College.

In the begining there was noting and then in 60 seconds 90% of everything was made this theroy has come to been know as you know The Big Bang of corse there was not a bang there was nothing this is why we have shown that the universe is expanding outward scinitist think that in the end there will be somthing called The Big Rip were dark matter will in fact consume things the Universe can only go so far untill it makes the rip

Everything in the universe is an incident with a beginning and an end and this applies to the universe itself.
The universe is a quantum entity so it must have a maximum and a minimum size.
The size of the universe can be estimated in light years of radius,but the information to estimate it's age went out of existence with termination of galaxies that preceded us,the universe can be no more than about 6 billion light years in radius,and though it expands at the speed of light it could be much older than 6 billion years,

The primary evidence is that the universe is expanding. If it is expanding now, it was smaller in the past. Go back far enough and it was very small indeed: the hot early universe of the Big Bang. The Big Bang (i.e. the hot, early universe) is directly observed on a daily basis as the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation.

(Genesis 1:26-28)

The first eleven chapters of Genesis tell about the first few thousand years of human history. The book of Genesis is the book of beginnings. Genesis sets forth the beginning of the heavens and the earth; the beginning of human life and of sin; the beginning of salvation and of punishment. Genesis is the seed plot of the Bible. Almost every teaching of major importance has its roots in the book of Genesis.
Jesus obviously accepted the book of Genesis as historical and trustworthy and divinely inspired. He quoted from it frequently and never once did He indicate that anything in Genesis was unreliable.

When you observe several galaxies and deduce their velocity and direction of travel, you can calculate their trajectories. The origin must be where all the tracks converge. So we can plot the point where all their journeys started and approximately the time they started.

YES... the Hubble telescope got very close to the "Big Bang" on one of it's observations to the far reaches of the universe and back into time itself.
