Just to throw a spanner into the works, what if the past happened in the
future?
What if at some stage way in the future we had the ability to time travel
and alter time and God (or whoever) went back in time and created a
beginning that did not effect the outcome of our current present and future.
At the stage we are now, we might wonder how it all began - but maybe it has
not begun yet?
Maybe it did not so much begin, as came into being - we merely realized that
we existed! Where were we? Why, where we had always been! How did it all
begin? Well who knows, but I am sure as soon as there is a beginning we
will be told! ;)
A nice simple beginning that we can understand - for now, and when we have
grown out of that beginning and sneer at such things as the Bible, or the
big bang or evolution - then no doubt God (or whoever) will go back and
create a more satisfactory beginning.
For everything to have a beginning is equally unlikely as for everything to
have an end. Both are equally impossible.
