"The Universe will always be here. It has always been here. It cannot go away. It is indestructible and everlasting. The mystics understand this, and so does anyone who understands basics physics."

While I'm sure that many mystics have held the idea of an eternal universe, it isn't as universal as you seem to suggest. Virtually all the mystics in the Christian tradition have held that the universe had a beginning. St. Thomas Aquinas is one of the more prominent examples: http://www.newadvent.org/summa/1045.htm
