1. Consider the beginning of the universe.
2. There was either a "first thing" or "something has always been here".
I would like to take this 1 step further.
There has always been existence or existence had a beginning to exist.
Existence= the universe and everything in it including any multiverses or superverse. In other words everything that exists or has existed.
What is the opposite of existence?
Non-existence is the opposite of existence.
That would be no universe, multiverse, superverse, branes, or instantons, or a vacuum for the instanton or branes to exist in.
There would be no existence for vertical time to exist in, or any substance.

8. Therefore, the origin of the universe cannot be scientifically explained.
Sure it can be explained, every time I ask what existed at T=0 I get the answer, "We don't know".
You say, but that is not a scientific explanation. Well that is the answer I get from scientist.
God Bless,
