Right! Hence it is not eternal. Space and time are characteristic of the physical universe (which according to scientists had a beginning). Scientists believe that the universe is expanding from the point it started from (this means that it had a beginning because it is obeying the laws of cause and effect).

I believe that the big bang is just one of an endless number of big bangs and big crunches. Space-time is infinity.
from what I've read, the law of cause and effect is predominant in classical physics. What makes you think it prevails in an environment such as that of a theoretical singularity (i.e. our universe before the expansion)?
Edit: I would like to add that the big bang is not the only theory of universal creation, but since the others are not being brought into question, I wil refrain from discussing them.

Trick question? There was no universe before the expansion. The moment of creation and expansion of the universe (i.e. the instance of the creation of the space-time continuum together with matter) began
simultaneous.
I don't recall stating that the Big Bang Theory "was" the only theory of universal creation.

I never said that you said that there was only one theory. I only stated that information in order to indicate that it is not the only major theory out there, in case someone had chosen to point that out.
As for the "trick" question, there is no trick behind it. It just asks if you have an understanding of how the laws of physics are governed in a point of infinite mass and density. I have to answer to it, but I was wondering if you did since you seem to be asking so many probing questions about it towards the rest of us.

It only means that there was a time when all galaxies where together in one location. There may have been a singularity, but that could have lasted for eternity. No one can know.
