I might be going off on a tangent here but what many don't realise (and I'm not inferring that anyone on this forum is amongst that group,) that time is actually a human concept and therefore proving anything (in respect to creation of the universe,) by using that concept is futile? The human mind cannot grasp the idea of "infinite," most probably due to our own mortality and our need to be able to collate events in a logical manner (as we usually do, by means of measurement.)
Everything around us does not last, and it ingrained into our pysche that everything has to have a start and an end. The concept of the "infinite" is not conducive to that. That's why the Big Bang Theory is hard for alot of people to swallow, and the concept that an ominous entity is the source of creation gives is easily acceptable, because that gives the human mind a reference point which is easier to comprehend. It is in keeping with the human psyche that there is always a beginning and an end and therefore a comforting mindset.
PS: I'm thoroughly enjoying some of the posts here. Very surprised that a few people seem to be proponents of the "Intelligent Design" theory.
maybe people exist in a dimension where time exists. maybe time doesnt exist in higher dimensions
That's my point Alien. Time literally doesn't exist in any form. It is a human notion introduced as a unit of measurement used to determine the sequence and duration of events. It's hard to comprehend because it's a concept with you since day dot and you rely on it in so many aspects of life, but the reality is that the concept of time gives the impression that things are finite when they may well not be.
