Comment on: Time Is On My Side

A Stitch In Time Saves Nine

Don't forget...

Matter would have to be infinite also. If someone subscibes to evolution, the universe is all that was and all that ever will be. Men are just a meaningless, infintesimal, speck of nothingness with no purpose or worth. In my mind a person has two choices, they can commit suicide or believe in intelligent design. Every other choice is madness. Good post.

That is interesting but

God created all things. He is eternal. Eternity and time are not the same thing. Jesus Christ is the only being that has ever stepped out of eternity, into time, and then back to eternity.

There is no way to comprehend eternity since there is no measurement of eternity. It always will be and always has been.

Which rule of logic is it

That states that time cannot be infinite?

>> That would suggest that prior to today an infinite number of days has already past. This is not logically possible and therefor we are left with only the following 2 options:

I took logic in college, but for the life of me, I can't recall the rule in either inductive or deductive logic that pertains to the limits of time. How does logic, in any form, address the limits of time? Isn't this something better addressed by cosmology and physics? In other words, the bald assertion that infinite time is not logically possible is nothing but an assertion with no factual data to back it up. I need some mathematical proof of this "logical" statement. Try reading Hawking or Feynmann to get an idea of what is required. I'm not arguing that time has no beginning, only that a statement like this MUST have rigorous proof to be even considered.

If God created the world, why couldn't he have created it just a few moments ago, and created us with memories and the physical evidence for both evolution and creationism, and minds that made statements believed to be true, but ultimately unprovable by either belief?

I agree we must be rigorous

The logical fact is that either infinity is finite or time is finite. There cannot exist an infinite number of time segments (hours or whatever) prior to this very moment or this moment would not be here yet and we would still be waiting an eternity for it to get here. The very nature of Time, the reality that time is one moment following another moment, is the logical proof that Time cannot be infinite.
