I'm not sure what you mean, I've made no claims in that regard- and the quote only mentions this....

But It is generally assumed that the universe had a beginning,

What do you mean by "its generally assumed"?

What is the evidence that proves the universe did not exist - and then did.

Of course there is. There have been many studies suggesting the universe is changing and had a beginning.

What do you mean by "suggesting"?

I said that there is no evidence to support a claim that the universe was at one point nonexistent and you reply with a claim there are studies which "suggest" that it was.

If I said I have studied human nature and then suggested that it might be a good idea for your to blow yourself into tiny bloody bits of meat and bone would you also accept that as a good idea!
