ok.. this post is meant to give a short discussion on the concept of infinity.

now, what we are trying to say is that the universe did not exist infinitely, and that it must have started existing at one point of time.. and we call this creator 'god'.

the point of the post is about the infinity of the universe.. and not abt who 'god' is. so, leave qns abt the creator for now, and assume that we know that 'god' is a creator..

Infinity

The thing about the universe, is that it has not been in existence forever. There must have been a time zero. A moment when time started, and things started to exist.

How do we know that this is true? well, for one, scientists have shown the probability of the big bang theory. perhaps one day, the particles (all moving about in space) collide together, and BOOM! E.A.R.T.H and the other planets!!! (fine.. this is a topic about DESIGN, which will not be discussed in the post)

a counter argument is.. WELL! the earth could have existed forever, look at our world.. we have numbers. numbers are infinite. the concept of infinity is there.

i say, no! mathematical infinity is not neccessarily a good counter argument for the universe having a 'start' time. i ask you know.. can you draw an infinitely large ellipse?? amazingly, no.

a ellispe is a flattened circle. now look, say.. on a x and y axis, we draw a symmetrical ellipse. it would resemble a '0' (zero) sitting on its side.. as i draw an infinitely large ellipse-its edges growing along the x axis (i.e. an increasingly thinner '0'), it will resemble a line, and lose its 'ellipse-ness'. so.. technically speaking, the infinitely biggest ellipse.. is.. a line.. makes sense, no? so.. how can infinity exist? with the object that we speak of.. to still retain its properties..

so.. since we can show that infinity has its limitations.. hence, it might be more plausible to agree that the earth had a t=0, and had a creator!
