When A Conclusion Is Assumption
In Conclusion then: Yes, the "start of existence" is, in every framework that attempts to address it, rooted in some form of fundamental assumption or unprovable axiom. Whether it's the scientific assumption of underlying physical laws and an initial singularity, the philosophical assumption of a brute fact or uncaused cause, or the religious assumption of a divine creator, all attempts to explain the ultimate origin of everything must eventually land on something that is taken as a given. That 'given' is the assumption.
