| appolose said: I'm not saying that such a being does exist, I'm saying that if such a bieng existed he would be, by definition, outside of time, because time is physcial, and the being is not. It's not an assumption. If it's not physical then physcial attributes cannot be applied. That being said, he (in the argument) exists apart from the universe, and there is no time to measure for him. You cannot ascribe past and future to the function in such a manner, because that point is just a point on the graph, not a measurement of how far it's gone along the graph. Also, there is a difference between having an infinite future and past. For the future, you haven't gone on forever, whereas in the past, you have, which is impossible. |
To make things short, you've created another realm where logic, physical laws, etc. of this realm do not apply to that realm. One cant argue against that since you can apply whatever characteristics you want to that realm. The real question is did the realm create you or did you create the realm (or someone told you about it), for me it is clear.
The equation showed that there can be an infinite past. If you went back in time 50 billion years (before the Big Bang) you could still go on for infinity. Here, you are making the assumption that the universe has a start.
