Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. In the beginning! The beginning of what? Not just the beginning of the physical universe and the heavens, but also the beginning of time itself. God is eternal, which means that He lives completely outside the realm of time. (Notice that God already existed at the beginning). At some point, time had to begin, and that would be the beginning. In order for there to be a beginning, time had to exist, because without time there would be no beginning. If time had existed prior to the creation of the universe, then the creation would not have ocurred in the beginning, it would have been some time after the beginning. The conclusion is that time began in conjunction with the physical universe to comprise the entirety of this creation. The fact that time has a beginning means that it can be traced back to that beginning, to which the Bible gives us all of the necessary information. The Scripture is clear that this universe, and all that comprises it, is finite. It is not eternal, nor did it come into existence on its own. To the contrary, it has a cause, a Creator, the Almighty God of the Bible!
