Question

What is meant by beginningless time in Buddhism?

Answer 1

A common theme in religion and science is the inability to project time back infinitely into the past.

Christianity holds that "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth...", before which nothing but God existed.

Modern physics can project back to a singularity (the "big bang"), prior to which we can't give any description, because we can't describe the conditions that led to the singularity.
