ICANT, I see that you're ignoring me. Am I right to assume that I'm a lost cause to you now?
Anyway, let me repeat just in case you didn't notice my previous post. The universe either had a beginning or it didn't. 50/50 chance. Head or tail? Your call.
seeing the bible is not a scientific book, we should let scientists answer
If at some point in thepast, the Universe was once close to a singular state of infinitely small size and infinite density, we have to ask what was there before and what was outside the Universe. ... We have to face the problem of a Beginning.Sir Bernard Lovell.
Professor of astronomy David L. Block wrote: That the universe has not always existedthat it had a beginninghas not always been popular. Yet, in recent decades evidence has forced most who study the universe to believe that it really did have a beginning. Virtually all astrophysicists today conclude, reported U.S.News & World Report in 1997, that the universe began with a big bang that propelled matter outward in all directions.
Robert Jastrow, professor of astronomy and geology at Columbia University, wrote: Few astronomers could have anticipated that this eventthe sudden birth of the Universewould become a proven scientific fact, but observations of the heavens through telescopes have forced them to that conclusion.
In his book Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays, published in 1993, prominent physicist Stephen Hawking concluded that science could predict that the universe must have had a beginning.

Like all geosciences and all subfields of the geosciences that clearly show there was no global flood?
its more inconclusive then proven. After thousands of years of geologic changes in a world with unstable weather patterns, solid evidence of an ancient flood may be obscure today

Like chemistry and physics that clearly show radioactive decay has not changed over time?
it has not changed since science discovered how to use it and
we dont know how much radiocarbon was in the atmosphere in prehisotoric times...they only have recent measurements by which to measure so it is also inconclusive.

Like virtually all biosciences which clearly show common ancestry to all life?
Very debatable...similarities themselves do not prove common ancestry.
Its just as likely they are similar because they all have the same Designer and Maker
