Is there no end?

I guess you were asked a lot, but still, and you are not qualified to answer this as both a philosopher and a physicist.
What do you think about the demonstrative claim that the world was created because if the world had always existed, it would have existed an infinite amount of time ago and we would not automatically have reached this moment because there were an infinite number of moments before us, so how did we reach this moment?
I don’t know how to decipher it, but my ‘mind’s eye’ says it’s nonsense.

Your mind’s eye is right. This is a mathematical misunderstanding, as if a process can be defined that starts from the point at minus infinity and progresses to the right. There is no such point and this process is undefined. I answered this before here on the site. You can try searching.

But it's just interesting to understand more
There can't be an infinity that has points of time that are eventually reached because it's not static, it progresses and we are at a point in time out of the infinite time that exists, perhaps, where is the paradox actually?

Who spoke of a paradox? It is simply undefined. The words ‘to advance from minus infinity to us’ have no meaning.
