Your question presupposes that human kind cannot find a beginning. Many would say that they have found the beginning, and the Big Bang was the beginning. That being said, there are two ends. One to the Universe and two, your existence. Did you have being for 13+ billion years before your life on Earth? If not, how do you know that you will not just have an ending?
As to the Universe, it appears that, by the best models, the Universe will fly apart, ever faster, ever further until all is dark and quiet and forever still.

The same way a person with no birth certificate can expect to die someday. We take the lack of clarity on the beginning as the fault of our own limited investigative ability, but we still credit ourselves with enough sense to work out where something is headed, based on what we can observe about it.

Just because the origin of something is unclear, that doesn't mean it had no origin and is eternal and that it will or will not have an end, or even that we'll see the end coming (or not). Also, things can be endless in some ways and not in others. If I create a Moebius strip, you can trace an endless path along it, but it did not always exist, and it will not always exist, and it doesn't fill the room, so it has other beginnings and ends.

because end and beginning have nothing to do with eachother. an example is a ray (in mathematical terms). a ray has a beginning, but has no end. if something is in existence and always has been, then it is gone, then its at the end. so beginning and end have nothing to do with each other.

This is called kuon ganjo in Japanese Buddhism. No beginning, no end. Da old river-It just keep rollin' along.
