Question: How can we, or anything, exist!?
If the line of creation is infinite, something must be eternal, but that isnt fathomable so what is the solution to this problem (other than a higher power)Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The solution is that time doesn't really exist!. It's just a concept we made up!. Thus, the universe did always exist but it doesn't mean it existed for an infinite amount of time!. This also must be true since "nothing" can't exist because it's meaning is the opposite of something!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, this is more of a religious question than anything!.!.!. If you don't believe in a higher power, that makes you atheist!. In that form of thought process, everything was caused by the big bang, which is the thought that a super explosion split an atom, and created everything from it, which is absurd, if you ask me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Why can't something be eternal!? The definition of eternal is enduring!. If there weren't such a thing, then that word wouldn't be around! The only reason you can't imagine eternity, is because being human limits you!. You can't live past 115 years, so THINKING of something being 1000 yrs isn't possible for your mind to grasp!.!.!.

Who says something never comes from nothing!? We can't be everywhere, so whose to say that in the middle of the Amazon forest a tree of unknown origin just pops up!.!.!. New species are discovered every day!. Whose to say that this didn't happen in that situation!?

Just because something exploded and here we are, doesn't mean that something was sitting right here in our galaxy, zapping a finger to make it happen!. What if some crap from ANOTHER galaxy found it's way here!.!.!. bumped into some other crap and there you go!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

we exists because its infinite!. with enough time and a continually changing universe eventually things would line up perfect enough for life!. our existence is tiny in scale to infinity!. maybe theres been thousands of worlds like ours and we'll just never know cause time marches on!. it also makes sense that if things were to line up the life would change and evolve to a point where it could understand whats going on!. kinda like we do!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Their is an eternal life, but you have to live a holy life!.in order to live in the eternal life which is Heaven!.
Go to Church you can find your answer their!
also read you bible!.
(don't get mistaken by false doctrine)
that's when someone tries to tell you something
that's not true and is not even from the bible!.
Like a big bang! && the earth was mysteriously created!;

Human beings are probably not nearly as smart as we think we are! There are likely other dimensions to existence, as quantum mechanics and string theory is hitting on!. How can we fathom the timeless and the spaceless when all we know of is our 3-dimensional world!? I've read things like: everything exists simultaneously!.!.!. Hard (impossible!?) to grasp!. But medieval peoples probably would have had a hard time believing computers and space travel!.!.!.

sorry i dont really understand your argument

what do you mean "line of creation"!? cause and effect!? idk what youre trying to say!.

edit: oh i see!. haha!. well i think that substance being eternal may be a possibility!. you're right, it does seem unfathomable!. but just because its unfathomable doesn't mean it can't be so!.

it choose to side with eternal existence rather than something coming from nothing, because if i accept something comes from nothing!. then i must accept that everything comes from everywhere!. and this is apparently not true!.!.!.

this is the deepest question i've ever seen on here!. i usually hate this section for posting stupid wannabe profound questions!. but jesus christ man!. then i just read Dave's answer!. its brilliant!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Every thing has a limit , it is beieved!. The infinite has also some limit in the diastant point!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Its in energy and its transformation from one apparent form to another--but it isn't a problem!. It's an existence!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The more appropriate question is: How can anything not exist!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Let's stop trying to figure out the universe and go eat some cocoa and cheese crackers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i thought about this not too long ago!.
i was doing math homework and i noticed that really the only thing in this world that cant be ruled out by some ideology is really MATH!. because math doesn't relate to feelings or science or politics when its by itself its still math!. a+a=b the sum of one and one is two and it will always be two because one could mean anything!. math has always been and will continue to be even when there is no actual object to be one!. because it could just be the thought of an object!. if there comes a time or is a time or has been a time that there were no thoughts or things there is still zero!. 0+0=0 and if it somehow go's past zero there is the negatives!. math is eternal!. even some math problems will never really stop because there can always be a smaller fraction due to the never ending number line!.
but you should find someone who has a deeper knowledge of math!. i didn't get past algebra yet!.

[math is math even when its not written out on paper with numbers]
[I'm the type who thinks that really anything is possible but i really don't see a way to rule out math even if everything that ever was doesn't really exist]Www@QuestionHome@Com
