| appolose said: I'm saying a nonphyscial realm cannot have the problems and implications of physical time applied to it, for it being nonphyscial. It is, therefore, nonsenseical to ask what was happening in such a realm for all the time before it created this one, because there is no "before" in a nonphyscial realm. God was not in limbo for eternity before the creation, because there was no eternity for him to be in. I'm not saying that time cannot go on forever. It's prefectly fine to think that the universe will keep going on and on. What I'm saying is impossible is to have an infinite past, to have had the universe already experience an infinite amount of time, which is exactly like trying to count to infinity and past it; if the universe has been oscillating, then that's exactly what it would have to do by implication of the idea (count up to and past infinity). Yes the universe can go on forever, but there where never be a point in its future where an infinite amount of time has passed. |
Why is there no before in a spiritual realm? There was a time in the spiritual realm before God created the Universe, and there was a time in the spiritual realm after God created the universe. In that time before 'creation' I would suppose that God was in existence forever, rather than being created at a single point in time.
0 + infinity is the same thing as infinity plus infinity, it has an infinite value. If you say there can be an infinite future then you are implying an infinite past.
