Actually, IIRC, the Bible was unique in suggesting a beginning. In fact, science pooh-poohed the concept of a beginning until scientists proved there had to have been one. The Bible said it long ago. Science figured it out only recently. Shalom.

Every Creation Myth posits a beginning. The Bible is hardly unique in that. Infinity is a modern concept.

Not true.

Some creation myths posit a pre-existing universe, material stuff out of which their god(s) came, layed the egg, was made, or whatever.
