Current theory strongly indicates that the universe as we know it did indeed have a beginning popularly known as the Big Bang. As for where the universe is going there are several theories today. One is the bouncing universe theory where you have a big bang, big crunch, big bang, and so on. This isn't widely accepted. Prevailing theory is that the universe will continue to expand and eventually suffer heat death, which is where there is no longer any heat transfer of any kind. Another theory is that the universe is continuing to expand and will continue to accelerate until it reaches a velocity that all matter literally flies apart at the sub atomic level.

Deductive logic is a bitch. I don't see us figuring out the answers to your second sentence. Our species is limited large IMO. It's fun to keep trying though.

The question in my mind was always: How could something come from nothing? Or in other words, "something" always comes from something else, no matter how far back you go...
But there had to be an original starting point for everything originally, yet I ask myself what created that? And if it was "god", what created god? The standard answer I always get is: God is all powerful and does not need a creator. But everything in creation has to come from somewhere, so around and around we go, where we stop, no one will probably ever know.
