A clarification: there is no such thing as an absolute beginning or an absolute ending. Whenever something is "created" something else is necessarily "destroyed" and vice versa. Creation-destruction are the same process. Existence itself is a continuity of constant change and transformation. Whether some human labels something as "creation/beginning" or "destruction/ending" is arbitrary and depends on point of reference. To say something has a beginning or ending is a construct, in other words, and doesn't reflect the continuity of the territory.

That's how I see it, at any rate.
