I believe evolution trumps both arguments though.

At the end everything can be dumbed down to one single question. Everything else can be explained using physics, except for this one question;

How did the universe came into existence?

if time is infinite, then wouldn't the universe have always been in existence? some kind of fundamental matter that has always been?

if time is finite then the universe came from nothing or God, which is essentially the same thing, i think... some kind of random quantum fluctuation in the void? dunno much about QM

More thoughts on how/why there is something instead of nothing?

another thought: the 'something' and the 'nothing' are co-dependent... they need each other to exist, or maybe not.. can the 'nothing' exist without the 'something'? surely, the something cannot exist without the void.

We used to discuss these issues when I was at Uni. It used to lead to very heated discussions sometimes going on for over 24 hours (whilst playing bridge). We never came to any conclusion and I lost days of sleep trying to come up with 'answers'. The only answer I did come up with was. Don't waste your time trying to find the answers to cosmic questions because there isn't one.

Atheist, eco-centrist.

I don't believe in rationality of humans, I believe humans are rationalizing animals. Sadly, I don't believe in Reason, and I don't believe in human superiority.

Gods and any kinds of superior beings are just a part of "human superiority". Have you seen animals building churches and discussing theology?

Quit viewing time in linear fashion.

Everything is as it is but isn't as it was, and wasn't as it is.
It also sin't as it will be, and it will be as it isn't
And it is infinite without end but not infinite without begininning.
(At least in this dimension.
Every dimension has a start, but all have no end.

They are therefore infinite but only in the future.

Selah.

From that point onwards everything has a logical explanation.
