Let's add to the rationality. Is it not equally valid (or equally obsurd, depending upon your viewpoint) to believe either that God has always existed and created the universe(s) or that the universe(s) have always existed? Fact is, we humans do not begin to have the mental facilities to understand infinity as anything more than a base concept. Only if you try to describe it with words. |
