If you believe in God, I think its easier to believe God just always existed, what frightens the scientific community, is that this could be proof of God.
Three points:

1) that doesn't frighten the scientific community. Why would it, since it isn't science and isn't even rational?

2) it isn't proof of god; not yours, not anyone else's. In fact, there isn't even any evidence that your easy belief is true. It may be easier for you to believe it, but it reduces to magic in the light of reason (which is also why the idea doesn't "frighten" the scientific community - science deals with reality).

3) it is just as easy to believe that some protouniverse has always existed and that what we see as our universe is just the result of of natural events in that larger, older reality. That's even easier to believe, without evidence, and that frightens theists.

Because you just cant have a beginning of something in this case, because that means something must have been around before it, and before that and so on and so on, so where does it end?
That is exactly why your belief is nonsense. If god did it, where did god come from.

Its basically beyond us, a riddle wrapped up in a mystery, and surrounded by a conundrum.
No it's not. You're just trying to make it mysterious and magic so that it fits your god.
