The universe had a beginning in the sense that it changed in form. That change gave birth to our universe and we date a beginning from there.
Nothing is known about the Cosmic Egg but how it formed and was destabilised and was then positioned over a matrix of sound waves is the point of contention. Nothing did it or something did it.
Whatever took place, none of the option eliminates or adds God into the mix.
On the one hand we can say that life and sentient consciousness are an inherent aspect of matter and that we got here with nothing but a wondrous combination of endless good fortune.
Or we might speculate that consciousness preexisted and acted as an agent putting in play natural order.
Nothing produced everything or something produced everything.
The human egg has within it the complete blueprint of the adult human.
The Cosmic Egg had within it the blueprint of an unfolding universe, life and sentient beings that would be capable of understanding that nothing produces exactly nothing and consciousness produces consciousness.
