For the same reason no one can count up to and past infinity. For example, if the universe has been around for 6 hours, then that means the universe had gone through 6 hours of time. If the universe had been around for an infinite amount of time, then that would mean that the universe had gone through an infinite amount of time. And there is no way to get past an infinite amount of time, just as much as infinity can never be reached. This problem does not apply to a postulated nonphysical being, however, because time is a property of the physical realm. God has not had to endure forever because there is no forever, and no time at all, for him. |
Essentially, what you are saying is that time in the spiritual realm can be infinite but time in the physical realm cannot. God was hanging out in a spiritual realm for an infinite amount of time in the past and will be there for an infinite amount of time in the future, but for whatever reason this cant be for the physical realm. Thats with the huge assumption that there is a spiritual realm.
I also fail to understand why time in the physical realm cannot be infinite. Do you think that in the future, time will all the sudden stop and come to an end?
