Re: Something Eternal
[ QUOTE ]
0 + 0 = 0 If there were ever a time in the history of the universe that there was absolute nothing, zip, nada. Then I am convinced there would still be nothing. This proves to me that there must be something that trancends time and is Eternal. Nothing has ever just popped into being without a cause, so I can logically reason that that sort of thing doesn't occur. Your thoughts... [/ QUOTE ] Time is bull, it's a concept, what else is there but the present moment, everything else is a concept, when you transcend concepts you see the continual present moment, when you're stuck in your thoughts you're stuck in thought world which is delusion. God = the present moment, whatever that means. . . |

Re: Something Eternal
If you believe that you have some kind of control over time, your deluded.
I know after I wake that another day has passed and some day I am going to die. Time is measurable and testable, the earth is rotating around our sun once a year, your time on earth is fleeting away from you at a rapid pace. I suggest you adopt a rational view of time so you can make best use of it. Say 24 hours, another day has passed. I know It's very unlikely i'm going to live passed 100, get a move on. |

Re: Something Eternal
No control over time here bro. That doesn't make time any less of a concept though. Quite useful but still a concept, do you not see that?

Re: Something Eternal
Nah, I don't see why time can't be seen as a sure thing, measurable and testable, I know that time is there ticking along, I know what has happened in the past and can make assumptions about the future.

...I know that time is there ticking along... [/ QUOTE ] No, time doesn't tick along. Time is only a measure of change. If there is absolutely no change in the universe, there is no time interval. Think about it. Time is only relative to a change (clock, uranium decay, whatever). If there is no change anywhere (and not in your clock), there is no change and no time interval. Time is relative, it is a derived measure, not an absolute one. |

Ok, if there were a time when change never existed then there would be no change here and now, eh? Because something exists now, anything, a 1. I can reason that there has been something that is eternal. 1. Something exists now 2. There was never absolute nothing. 3. Something is eternal |
