No matter what catalyst for the beginning you subscribe to or can even dream up, there either needs to be something which precedes it or this catalyst is eternal. In either case time is infinite.
There is no way around this, it must be fact.
So if time is infinite...
Seriously what are the implications of time being infinite? Thanks
I should clarify and say that any action implies time exists and us being here implies action.
I'm really confused but just want to hear what you have to say.edit on 20-11-2011 by soldita because: (no reason given)

Watch this video. Time should be finite since it has a beginning. Infinity is infinite, but time is a construct from infinity, so it is finite. Since there are finite things in time, time is also finite, but only in relation to the infinite. I think this video explains it well.

What created matter, time and space? Thought did.
However, thought didn't really create anything, it just thought it did!!!

There is no distance to truth. How is it possible to be away from the truth? If you 'think' there is distance to travel to find truth then it will never be found.
That video is BS!
God/Source is the Source of Time and Time has existed Infinitely as God/Source has.
kNot even God can exist without Time so both have existed forever.

Slow down a bit and ease your cognitive dissonance with this thought:
Infinity has no beginning or end. If I ask you to flip a light switch an infinite amount of times, can you? You can move forward, but not backward in time. Infinity goes all directions. Time, space, matter and energy have a beginning.
Genesis 1:1
In the Beginning (Time), God created the heavens (Space) and the earth (Matter). Let there be light (Energy).
All creations are finite. They originate from the infinite.

Nothing can appear outside of now. You talk about past and future as though they are real. Have you ever seen the past or future? Have you ever seen tomorrow or yesterday? No all you will ever experience is now with an idea, a thought, a concept of tomorrow or 5 minutes from now. 5 minutes from now will be now.
What yew don't take into consideration is God/Source is ALL Time and ALL Space, so if God/Source is ALL Space & Time, then Space & Time have both always been and will always be, since they are also Infinite as God/Source is.
As to matter, it is finite at any given finite moment, but it's going to Infinite, since matter is being created ALL the Time.
