No, that would be presuming too much. Our understanding of reality is limited in large part by our experience -- we see that each moment is preceded by a prior moment, and we develop explanations like causality and the law of conservation and matter, etc., to EXPLAIN the phenomenon we observe. But that's all we can do... develop explanations for what we've seen. At the beginning of the universe -- the Big Bang -- we do know that what we normally think of as the laws of the physics worked in very weird ways. That doesn't mean they weren't lawful, just that the scale of reality was so far from what we're used to that it was basically unrecogizable. So we don't know what happened before that, or even if the phrase "before that" is meaningful. Sometimes you just have to put your hands up and say "we don't know". Pretending to have knowledge that you don't actually possess is not helpful.

No, I don't. Why should I, particularly, when there's no proof or evidence of it?

I'm beginning to believe that there was.

The human mind can not grasp the concept of infinity. Where are the outer limits of a universe that continues for thousands of light years on and on without boundaries? In the universe where we live, nothing has always been and nothing will last forever as the universe is constantly changing and reforming. So are all forms of life riding thru space on this little mud ball known only to us as the planet Earth.

I always was, for as long as I can remember :)

No. I promise, you know just as much as everyone else. We just aren't capable of understanding this concept.
