<br />Patric,

FWIW I found the post I deleted to one of your more interesting ones. It just wasn't right for this science board.

<br />Messiah,

ANS: Therein lies your failing. Eternal requires an infinite accumulation of time intervals. Since intervals of time are physical and are quantifiable, they can never become infinite.

Nothing physical can be or become infinite in quantity by definition. Infinity by definition is larger than any quantitative value. Hence nothing can have aready existed for eternity.

Applause!!!
Nothing is/was/has been eternal...because eternity is not yet over. Wait a while and check back with me...lol.

The universe is infinite because it is not bounded or defined. You can never 'get' to infinity because it doesn't 'exist'. Many believe that because every pair of points is separated by a finite distance that the furthest point must be a finite distance away. In infinity, there IS no furthest. You can always find something more distant.

I'd procrastinate, but I can't seem to find the time
