A handful of researchers posit an alternative theory of origin — the universe has no beginning

*snicker*

Not Biblical at all, IMHO. Christianity argues that God created the universe. Out of nothing. Only God has no beginning. Now if you are Mormon you would be much more comfortable with the eternity of matter, but personally, I don't buy it.
