Antimatter is only destroyed when it collides with matter. Those that are still around simply havent collided ? Im not 100% sure on that, im very limited when it comes to my knowledge of physics. How could oscillating universe theory not happen due to this? Matter vs antimatter means matter is destroyed, but energy remains constant yes?

I dont think we can reject your argument. However, the same logic must be applied to that entity. What caused that entity?

Hmm it does and it doesnt. Firstly, when you say that this creator just existed, why does that hold more weight than just saying the Universe existed?
Secondly, i would say it doesnt because if you are going on caused and effect, where all of them are dependant upon eachother, they must have all just popped up at the same time.

Ah but then we reach another dead end. For the universe to have always existed there would have to have been no beginning of time or the universe so therefore the universe would have had to rely on resources it already had. There is a huge problem with this.
Our universe is accelerating into the vastness of space. Something is pulling us into the void. The universe (this version if you still think so) is only about 15 billion years old. What came before that? If the universe always was then why did it just now begin? If there was no time before the universe that would entail that it had a beginning. Therefore in having a beginning something would have had to have caused that beginning. If the universe had no beginning then how would it have started such a short time ago 1. and two where is the cycle of regrowth? If there is no cycle then what has it been doing for the last infinity quadrillion years?
I dont think you can describe God. Beyond our comprehension. We cannot even begin to label things as good or bad, who are we to say which are which? Or even if they exist. I feel Good and Evil are two sides of the same coin

Time would not be the only thing that takes a beating. Gravity bends space. You cannot conclude that gravity would play no part especially in association of matter at that scale and that theoretical density. Space time would bend alright.
You cannot say gravity did not play a role because you just do not know these things. However we do know that gravity associates itself with matter. If a supermassive star can create a black hole, why couldn't a super massive mass of subatomic particles pressed together under the immenseness of all the matter contained in the universe?
Why is everybody always picking on me.

Hence our paradox, but what if the entity always was? Or maybe (think quantum mechanics here) that creator has an infinite number of creators therefore each was created by a created creator..... That went really deep down the rabbit hole but it is an answer to the question no?
