Has the universe always been in existence?

I was doing deep philosophical thinking (really? Who woulda guessed?) and I was trying to explain time to someone.

Sort of.  


I was saying the reason that people created the idea of a god is because they think that there needs to be a reason for the creation of earth and man.   


The reason that people think there needs to be a reason for the creation of earth and man is because humans are born and then they die. I don't think of the human species as being infinite, I suppose I trust the theory of evolution for explaining humans, but I also know that we could go extinct, just like any other animal on earth. 


 People created a god out of their minds that "Created" earth and some believe that someday there will be a rapture and the earth will end. This is how some religions have justified the creation of humans and earth.   


There are so many myths and creation stories about how the earth and how us as humans were created. But they need to remain as myths.  


Humans most likely evolved from other species over billions of years. Earth may not have always existed but the universe must have to have existed. To be something, there must have always been something. I hold the understanding that the universe is infinite.  


As humans, since we can't grasp the concept of not having a beginning (since all things in our lives have a beginning) we have a hard time grasping the idea that things have just always existed. Maybe not the human race, or earth. But the universe has. This is my theory. It makes sense to me.  



For something to exist, something must've always existed.  

But I guess to a certain degree, the creation of earth probably had to do with something like the big bang or something scientific I honestly couldn't explain to you since my major isn't physics.   


My overall point here is that the universe has probably always existed. Something cannot come from nothing. So something must've existed, whether it is darkness or light. Something existed. Little atoms, particles, have existed. I think the earth and humans have somehow come from this something.   


But there has to have always been something, nevertheless. We can't create something out of nothing.
