Some physicists have difficulty conceiving the existence of God: an
infinite, immaterial being, who had no beginning and will have no end.
They find this hard to believe, but we have three examples of things
that appear to have exactly the same characteristics, and that we
usually have no problem accepting: Space, time, and energy: Space and
time, we realize, could not have had a beginning, and cannot have an
end: they are necessarily infinite, and, evidently, they are not
material.

Move your body one step forward, and you have unambiguously
defined space. You can show it to others, they can do the same,
and you agree with everyone about what space is.
Look at your watch while take a step forward, and you have
unambiguously defined time. You can show it to others, they can
do the same, and you agree with everyone about what time is.

Now take the bible and have a fight with someone who happened
to have taken the koran.
