The Universe will not come to and end. In ancient Hindusm, not this modern judaised shit, they stated that the Universe goes through trillions-of-years cycles, I recall from another post or sermon. In the sense the 12-stage cycle of the Zodiac ends, and the 12-month calender ends, the Zodiac and year begin again and life continues on. The Mayan "end-time prophesy" was actually an end to shit upon Earth, given Astrological timings, and life continues on. The Universe did not have a beginning; thus it does not have an age; it is not several billion years old, either; nor will the Universe have an end. "The Big Bang" = "god".
