So now you're saying time had a beginning but it isn't finite?
And how do you rule out a cause for what suddenly came to be?
Why would that be a problem? Time and the 3 space dimensions are simply metrics/qualities of this known to us universe. Before this universe came into existence the metrics associated with it did not exist. There was simply no time or space as 'things' or concepts 'prior' (prior shouldn't be a word here... but we are humans and our spoken language is limited and crude for such fine concepts, thus actual 'hard-core' physics turn to mathematical language exclusively). Time and space were born with the birth of 'our' universe. There may be other universes that have no such metrics.
There needn't be a cause. Causality is also just a metric of our particualr existing universe, not an intrinsic quality of 'everything that may be ever'
Consider that taste (in the culinary sense) is only a metric of food to humans. Animals simply need protein and care not for seasoning. So, before humans of certain development stage came into existence taste as a 'thing' did not exist at all. Then it 'began' and will exist as long as humans exist.
Also, keep in mind that 'infinite' in mathematical physics is not what a layman usually means (without suspecting it). Infinities have cardinality and sign. Some infinities in fact converge (in physics, it may onto another singularity) Some infinities are 'more infinite' than others.
That's another problem with creationism, it doesn't allow for multiple (infinite open) amount of universes with a multitude of metrics/laws. Otherwise, there'd be an open infinity of gods?

Thousands of living creatures today are represented in the fossil records and show no evolutionary changes.
Sorry ... you've been lied to. Evolutionists like to use fossils of extinct species as evidence, because there is nothing to compare them to. But species that are still alive today appear to be identical to their species preserved in the fossil records.
People lie ... rocks don't.
Really now? Then explain Wooly Mammoths, Giant Short Nosed Bears, Sabre Tooth Cats and Giant Ground Sloths among others who's descendants still exist. What is the matter with you?
"Aleph Null" is the infinity of integers, positive and negative.
"Aleph One" is the inifinity of real numbers - all numbers between integers, positive and negative.
"c" is the inifinity of all real and non-real numbers (including i and others.
By definition, Aleph Null < Aleph One < c
It's been a while, and the terminology may have changed since I had math, but I think this is still true.
