There is no question that the universe has always existed. Rather, the question is whether something has always been in it.
Are there sub-universes? Since the universe extends indefinitely, it is possible to have an infinite number of universes, each stretching infinitely in every direction and not reaching each other.
One question often asked of creationists, of believers in God, is how it would be possible for God to have created everything if nothing existed to begin with, for if nothing were there, God wasn't there, either.
But, if there are infinite universes, God could exist, go next door and create a new universe. You could have a starting point for the universe, and still have a God who was already there to create it.
The scriptures speak of God creating the heaven and the earth. The Bible begins by saying, "In the beginning," as if there might, indeed, have been a beginning, I do not know that believing in God and believing in science have to be seen as being at odds with each other.
