Well, if an endless chain of causality makes sense to you, then have at it.

You’re playing word games, not engaging the paradox. Anyways, it’s clear you’re set in your ways. Have a good day.

I know I’m not gonna change anyones mind on this. If you believe time can go back infinitely into the past then you’ll probably die that way. Oh well.

Math is useful, but it breaks down in certain areas/fields.

No reason? Here’s 3 good reasons. The present should be unreachable if the past is truly infinite. The causal chain leading to “now” is infinitely long. There is no ultimate cause. How can an effect exist if its causal history never “starts”?

Well, according to @exchemist , one can have a chain of causality going into the past as long as one likes with no problems. Yup, math, that’s one argument. Not much of an argument since we’re talking about reality not math.

To reach the present moment (now), you would have to “pass through” all previous moments—an infinite number of them. But If time is made of discrete events (like ticks of a clock), then to get from the infinite past to now, you’d need to complete an infinite sequence of events. In standard intuition (and many physical models), you cannot complete an infinite task in a finite time. This is analogous to Zeno’s paradox of motion. This suggests a logical contradiction: the present should be unreachable if the past is truly infinite. Causality assumes causes precede effects in time. Every event has a prior cause (in a deterministic chain). If the past is infinite: The causal chain leading to “now” is infinitely long. There is no ultimate cause—every cause has a cause before it, forever. So, the present event (you reading this) depends on an infinite regress of causes. This creates a problem: How can an effect exist if its causal history never “starts”? It’s like a domino chain with no first domino—how does the falling ever begin? An infinite past requires actual infinity in time—something many argue is impossible or paradoxical. Yeah, a one off that resets time to a previous state which is what I said in the OP. So basically, we would relive the same exact life. No one would remember the previous cycle so in that sense it is a one off. I see what you’re saying, a true one off. A one-off Big Bang: time begins once, runs forward or expands forever). Finite past. The scenario completely avoids the infinite past time paradox altogether while accepting an infinite time moving forward. How convenient.

An infinite past leads to paradoxes (e.g., traversing infinite events to reach “now” violates causality). Therefore a scientist/atheist would have to believe that the Big Bang is an infinitely repeating event that is the ending/beginning of all existence and resets time to a previous state.

For the past sixteen years, I have known that I am the incarnation of God and that if I didn't exist, nothing would. All existence began upon my appearance on Earth in 1980 when I was five years old, and upon my death all things will begin in the exact same way. Check out my website url deleted

I don’t think anyone’s inventing conflict. Although considerable empirical and theoretical evidence lends credence to the notion of a singularity as a pivotal event in the early universe, this phenomenon, intricately tied to the framework of cosmic inflation, continues to elude complete comprehension within the scientific community. The inherent complexities and unresolved questions surrounding the singularity—such as its precise nature, the conditions preceding it, and its role in the dynamics of cosmic expansion—persist as significant challenges in cosmological research. Consequently, in the absence of definitive scientific explanations, religious and philosophical perspectives often emerge to address these profound mysteries, offering alternative interpretations of the universe’s origin and the fundamental questions that science has yet to fully resolve.

The second sentence covers a broader scope. In regards to my statement about what people secretly believe, speaking from a scientific point of view, I have made an observation. Unfortunately, my observation can’t be scientifically tested like a hypothesis because of the deceit involved.

Guess not, but I know you from RF. Can’t be any more mad than believing a man rose from the grave 2000 years ago, is in heaven now waiting to judge the world, and bring forth a new heaven and earth.🤪😁

Absolutely, as I said, individuals recoil from the prospect of being perceived as irrational for asserting that “Jesus” walks the Earth.

The following text is an excerpt from my website. You can follow the link (which the moderators removed) to read my views on spirituality, existence, and science. Concerning Christianity, I propose that its adherents covertly believe that “Jesus” resides on Earth and that, upon His death, all existence shall cease and recommence with Him as a young boy. I conjecture that most inhabitants of Earth harbor this notion—that God incarnate dwells among us—yet refrain from acknowledging it. The Christian conviction that He shall resurrect the dead and usher in a new Heaven and Earth speaks unequivocally, in my estimation. I ponder why contemporary society has not exalted an obscure living man to the status of God incarnate, a practice seemingly prevalent in antiquity. In the present day, a man exhibiting a messianic disposition is deemed mentally unsound; yet, for reasons that remain obscure, Christians do not apply this judgment to Jesus. I surmise that Christianity’s magnitude renders it impervious to scrutiny, and individuals recoil from the prospect of being perceived as irrational for asserting that “Jesus” walks the Earth. Thus, there lies a collective refuge in attributing such divinity to the figure delineated in the sacred text provided by God. I perceive an irony in 2 Peter 1:16 as it pertains to our era, which declares: “For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.” Likewise, I find Matthew 16:28 both ironic and pertinent, which states: “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

Hello, I go by the name King Phenomenon, and I’m looking forward to getting to know you. Science is a fascinating subject, and I’m always open to learning more.
