The mind boggles.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that there can not be a "beginning of time". I can definitely see a "beginning of the universe as we know it", though.
Just because the universe didn't exist at one time, however, that doesn't mean that time didn't exist.
The way I think about it is this: think about time in the infinite future. Is time just going to "stop" one day? We'll all just freeze in place perhaps. That sounds kinda ridiculous to me. So, with that in mind, I figure the same view should be held for the past.
This isn't really very logical thinking, I know. I must come up with a more sound argument. :]
